Review Submitted: July 20, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We stayed at Afton Cottage for 3 nights whlie visiting Monticello and the surrounding area. The cottage was just perfect. The pictures on the internet don't do it justice! The owners have thought of everything. It's very comfortable, beautifully decorated, and exceptionally well supplied. If we return to the area, we won't have to spend any time on the internet looking for a place to stay--this is it!

Afton Cottage is a gem: serene, cozy, clean, tastefully decorated, fully equipped. The setting is lovely, private, great view. Everything just as advertised. Only 20 minutes to Charlottesville. The owners are wonderfully helpful. We definitely hope to return.

Our stay at Afton cottage was comfortable and warm on chilly nights. The gas firelogs kept the well kept cottage toasty warm. When we arrived there was soft music playing. Watching and listening to nature was one of our favorite things to do. The deck was one of my greatest enjoyments of the cottage. We also went to Crabtree Falls and to Monticello.

My week at Afton Cottage may not have been a typical visit. Before choosing Afton Cottage, I was looking for a quiet place for a retreat where I could spend my time in meditation, introspection and writing--without interruption.

Afton Cottage met my objective. It was peaceful, quiet, nicely decorated, and very cozy. I certainly was not disturbed and was very pleased with my stay. I would definitely recommend Afton Cottage.

Review Submitted: December 29, 2008 Date of Stay: December 2008
I've stayed in many VRBO properties over the past few years throughout the United States, and this one is right up there with my favorites. My adult sons and I stayed for Christmas, and from the moment I walked in, I knew that it would be a pleasant experience. Not only were there holiday decorations displayed, but Dick had purchased a small Christmas tree and provided ornaments! The cottage was clean and very comfortable with just enough seclusion in the woods for privacy. I cooked Christmas dinner and had every piece of cookware and utensil that I needed. My dog was in doggie wonderland with so many wildlife smells to sniff and explore. You cannot go wrong with this wonderful retreat and I hope that I can return sometime soon!
