In this crazy hectic world of ours, it is nice to find a true haven, and The Inn at Monticello is just that! We were warmly greeted by the hosts, and shared a lovely glass of wine talking and just... being. (The cats on premises were a true delight and welcomed us with purring. In the morning, Lucy put her paws under our door as if to beckon us to breakfast!) Because we have always thought (dreamed) about running an Inn, Norm and Becky were more than willing to share their thoughts and experiences with us, which we really appreciated. Breakfast was delicious and we are sad only because we weren't able to stay longer.....

We have been to the Charlottesville area many times and stayed at a number of other B & B's. This is one of our favorites.

The Inn at Monticello is a warm and inviting circa 1856 house with 5 cozy guest rooms, a beautiful living and dining area, and delightful innkeepers, Norm and Becky. Our room was very comfortable and nicely appointed with antiques and a working fireplace. We had no problems sleeping or relaxing here!

In the afternoons, we enjoyed sipping some excellent Virginia wines and chatting with our hosts. We learned from them that The Inn at Monticello has an interesting history. During the Civil War, Benjamin Franklin Ficklin, one of the owners of the property where the Inn is located, acquired Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. Mr. Ficklin is also known as a founder of the Pony Express.

Another great feature of this inn is that there is so much to do close by. You can easily walk to Monticello -- there is a beautiful trail that goes about two miles through the woods to Thomas Jefferson's home.

Overall, we rate our stay at The Inn at Monticello as an excellent experience. Our hosts served us a wonderful breakfast in a casual family atmosphere. We really enjoyed speaking with the other guests around the table. And our accommodations were wonderful. We are looking forward to returning sometime soon.

The Inn at Monticello was trulely superb. From the minute we arrived until the minute we left it was just heaven sent! The host and hostess were very helpful yet respectful. The breakfast was perfect. The cleanliness was excellent. The aroma and feeling were without a doubt comforting and peaceful. We will tell others to come and hope to return ourselves.

Our two night stay was just what we needed to relax after a busy Christmas. We stayed in the cottage, which was very comfortable and large. We enjoyed using the gas fireplace to make the room nice and warm. We walked over to the main house for breakfast. The food was good, and the company was fun. Breakfast was around a large table with all of the guests, and conversation was easy. We got some tips about local things to do from the guests as well as the host!

We spent a wonderful 2 days at the Inn. Even though the inn keepers were visiting family the woman caring for the place was wonderful.

The home is beauiful and well maintained. The breakfasts were very nicely prepared. When we arrived we were greeted with a glass of wine and the inn keeper spent a while talking about local restaurants, sites, and the vineyards. We've stayed at many B&B and this one is at the top of the list. We were made to feel like they enjoyed us being there instead of just being a client.

Will definately come back...
