About this property

Solar, 2 BR, 1 Bath, UVa, Preston, Downtown

  • NOTE that the bathroom is on the first floor, with bedrooms on the second. High ceilings, antique furnishings, and high level of detail make for interesting visual appeal. Layout, natural light, and relatively large rooms contribute to a soothing and pleasant living space. Additional deck extend living outdoors. Fully equipped kitchen, individual room heating/cooling, and energy independence round out the house. Lots of new eateries, pubs, bakeries, coffee shops, ice cream, groceries within easy 3 block walking distance, probably the only area in town you could live without a car.

Scott was a great host and quick to answer any questions. Scott made us feel very welcome in his home. We thoroughly enjoyed the craftsmanship of the home, as well as all the unique decorations and furnishings. It was like staying in a museum. You can tell that Scott enjoys refurbishing old homes. Easy walk to a great bakery, breweries, and plenty of dining options. We will be staying here again when we are in Charlottesville!- Eric M.

This was easily the best we ever had. We travel several times a year and this home was everything they promised it would be. It felt like we were in our own home. Easy to communicate. We needed nothing. Perfect location. The home is a work of art. I was worried we would not be the ones to mess it up!

First time staying in a rental that is the hosts primary residency, which was different. However, the house was very tidy, cozy, and eclectic. The hosts were very good with communication and making the check in/out uncomplicated. Great stay!

Perfect stay!

The owner was timely and thorough with details and instructions. Check in/out was as simple as unlocking and locking the front door. The place was clean, super cozy, and had all the necessities. To top it all off, the location is fantastic - very close to downtown. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Loved it!

We initially came here to play Dungeons and Dragons (because the table is absolutely beautiful) but we've come back several times since, and it never disappoints! The house is lovely, the location is excellent (a quick Uber ride to local breweries), and Scott is a fabulous host. Love staying here!

Amazing house

We were enchanted by this beautiful house! Our 18-year old daughter remarked that this is the type of house she wants to live in forever. The decor was so charming. Everything we needed in the kitchen was provided (coffee setup, cooking supplies) and the rooms were so comfortable. Excellent location to visit our UVA student. We went for a lovely run in the morning (close to McIntire Park) and enjoyed coffee on the back deck/outdoor space. Amazing stay!

Beautifully renovated home. Very easy check-in and the host was quick to respond when there were issues with the front door lock. On a busy road, but very quiet at night. A block away from an amazing bakery/coffee shop. This is a great place for a quick weekend away. However, if you are a big sports fan, they do not have standard cable to watch games on traditional broadcast channels. Nothing to do with the quality of the home or our experience. Just an FYI.

Lovely home, welcoming hosts

We enjoyed our stay in this beautifully appointed home. Fresh flowers in the middle of the charming dining room greeted us on arrival The hosts went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed, including freshly roasted coffee and a french press. The house was close to so many wonderful restaurants and bakeries. One thing that might be helpful for potential guests is to know is that the one bathroom is downstairs. This wasn't an issue for us, but it could potentially be for older renters. This will be our first choice for accommodations on future trips to Charlottesville.

Scott was a great host; excellent communicator including about a weather-related power outage. The house is very comfortable; given the generosity of the host, we felt right at home. The location worked very well for us. The beds were very comfortable and the AC kept up with the 100 degree days. We would stay here again happily.
