    5-Star Stay! Perfect Graduation Weekend and Beautiful Home! We had a wonderful stay at this property while celebrating my daughter's graduation from Mary Baldwin University! The house is absolutely beautiful, comfy, and exceptionally clean from top to bottom. It provided the perfect amount of space for all of us—including the graduate, my adult son, and his girlfriend—to comfortably relax and celebrate together. The location is fantastic and made traveling to and from the university events incredibly easy. We highly recommend this home for family milestones and would absolutely stay here again!

    Staying in Staunton

    We had a great stay in Staunton, one of our favorite towns. We usually stay out in the country, but this time we chose to stay in town. Loved the house...loved the location. And thanks to Chris for being such a great host to work with.

    Clean rooms, all with private bathrooms, and a very usable kitchen and living room. Walkable to the downtown, and convenient to skyline drive, wineries in Afton, and at a stretch, Charlottesville and Monticello.Highest praise for the very responsive way they took care of an ant problem in the property. They acknowledged the (entirely normal) issue in minutes on the app and had a pest control team out in hours. Kudos
