My hubby and I travel on a minimal budget so I was thrilled to find accommodations that were both inexpensive and highly recommended by other travelers. While I take exception to the term "Inn" in the name, it was a good place. There are 2 bldgs; one is the "inn". It's a small house that has been bought by a... More

So glad you found us! Its true, we do struggle with what to call our "Inn", as a way to distinguish it from the hostel's shared bedroom accommodations. I think we settled on that name because the rooms are private and it does have more of a guest house feel to it. And yes, there is only one shared bathroom... More

What a delightful time we had there. Both the hosts and other guests were quite friendly. Everyone shared suggestions of places to go and things to do. We'll return there if we are ever in the Charlottesville area.

I enjoyed my stay here very much. Everything was clean, the location was close to downtown and Monticello, the staff and other guests were friendly, and at the same time I felt that I did have enough privacy. They even stock great ground coffee to make your own french press coffee in the morning!

Thanks so much! We do strive for the balance of creating a welcoming, homey atmosphere that is both spacious and private. And its true; you can't beat the location! Being walking distance from downtown and just a short drive from Monticello situates us well for visiting travelers. Hope to see you again if future travels bring you back to our... More

We did enjoy our stay! What a great option for those of us who don't have a huge budget but still want to get away - in many ways, better than hotel as I always travel with food and it was great to have somewhere to put it and prepare it. Also a great option for us traveling with a... More

Thank you! Its true, we love what we do--from meeting new folks at check-in and helping them settle into the house and the town, to keeping the place shiny-clean. I'm glad you found what you needed in the kitchen--we aim for a "home away from home" feel and provide everything you need to cook for yourself! And thanks for noticing... More

Our entire family of 5 stayed for 4 days and AH was like a little home away from home. There was more open space than expected. Very well decorated and clean.

We're glad you were able to make the place your own! Renting the whole house is a great, affordable, and extremely comfortable way to house your whole family or a group of friends. We rotate art shows from local artists and provide all you need to be comfortable and cozy. The kitchen is stocked with dishes, silverware, a two-burner hot... More

I stayed here on my way from MA to CA and I had a blast. I arrived early before 4pm and they let me check in anyway, I was bumped to a bigger full size bed because it was just myself and another women staying there for the night. GREAT! It was so clean I walked around with no shoes.... More

We love our cross-country travelers! We're the perfect little stop on a long journey. Its true, our official check-in time is 4pm but its generally fine to check-in earlier, though your room may not be ready yet. Luckily, there's plenty of comfortable public space indoors and outdoors to hang out in. If you've booked a bed in the bunk-house and... More

Stayed in a private room for two nights. Aside from the noise from the garage across the street, there were no problems. The house was exceptionally clean and well furnished. Host was very nice.

The booking was easy, and the communication was prompt and reliable. We had a double room, no frills, very clean, comfortable. Basically you rent a room in an older, very well kept house in an interesting neighborhood. Bathroom is shared. No problems whatsoever. There was no noise from the other guests. Wireless is fast. Price was excellent. The owner directed... More

We stayed here on our week-long honeymoon road trip through central VA. We rented one of the private rooms. The room was private, however, the door was a french door with blinds that you could see through when the lights were on. We used a common bathroom, which was down the hall. It was clean and did have a locking... More
