This B&B is in an excellent location. It is right on the edge of the UVA campus and is a short five-block walk or trolley ride to the historic downtown/pedestrian mall. It is a 10-15 minute drive from Monticello. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. They were very helpful with tips on where to eat, what to see, etc.... more

A girlfriend and I escaped to Charlottesville for a pre-Christmas shopping trip this past November and just loved it! The Dinsmore house was the greatest location for us - between the downtown shopping walking mall and the bigger box stores we wanted to see. The owners were such lovely people and they graciously offered us wine, cheese, and made our... more

Stayed at the Dinsmore for our 25th Anniversary and the stay was wonderful. The owners are super friendly and extremely helpful for finding anything you might want to do. We walked to both the UVA campus and to the Charlottesville Mall where we found plenty to do, eat and drink. Breakfast was wonderful. Blueberry pancakes and bacon to die for.... more

We were given a gift certificate to The Dinsmore House in Charlottesville, VA as and for our March birthdays. Our children reside and work in the Washington, D.C. area and wanted us to visit Charlottesville as we drove home from Florida in March of 2008. What a delight The Dinsmore House B&B was. Such friendly owners. Felt right at home.... more

Previous reviewers have pretty much hit the nail on the head. This B&B proved to be friendly, with a good breakfast, big rooms, convenient parking and a can't-be-beat location for walking the UVA campus. Other niceties included a free upgrade to a room that became suddenly available, free DVD's, and wine and cheese in the afternoon. Though our room was... more

The owners and hosts of the Dinsmore House were extremely friendly and helpful with all our questions. The location on Main Street, walking distance to the university campus and a short drive to the historic old town, was just what we wanted. The garage parking right next door was very convenient. Our group of five took three different rooms for... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Dinsmore in December and could not have been more impressed by the charm of the house or the hospitality of the hosts. The Inn: The inn is at a prime location for exploring Charlottesville. It is just steps from the University and The Corner, where you will find local shops and eateries, and... more

Very comfortable beds and a welcoming glass of wine at check-in. The innkeeper said there were 100+ restaurants within 2 miles of the B&B. Ended up walking to a casual spot with a patio for dinner. You won't get a better location in town. We didn't make it to breakfast, but it smelled good. The house is very old, but... more

My husband and I recently stayed at the Dinsmore and had a fantastic experience! The location is walking distance to many great restaurants and shopping. The owners are so helpful, they helped us make reservations at a phenomenal restaurant, Zocalo. We highly recommend it. Everything about our stay was great, especially breakfast - it was a treat! Crepes with blackberries... more

The Dinsmore House needs a renovation! The "Dinsmore Room"'s bathroom is really outdated and showering was less than pleasant. Bathroom's ceiling paint is peeling and entire Inn doesn't have central A/C, only window units. We would have preferred to stay in the Library Room which, although smaller, looked in better shape than the Dinsmore Room and bathroom was more updated.... more
