Wonderful remote setting yet just minutes away from all of the treats of Charlottesville. This was our 2nd time staying at this property and won't be our last.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The place was exactly as described, very peaceful and private yet located close to so many things to see and do. Steve is a fantastic host, communication and check in was easy and an excellent bottle of wine was chilling in the fridge upon our arrival. The decor was really cool and the furniture was very comfortable. We loved sitting out front and seeing deer in the distance, listening to the birds and simply relaxing. We had a great time and will definitely be coming back
Cosy spot on a beautiful ranch. Close to town and very close to Monticello. Did not have a chance to meet the owner as he was out of town but his communication was great! Enjoyed the use of the hot tub and enjoyed the firefly show after dark. Would definitely stay there again when in the Charlottesville area. Thanks Steve!
Beautiful property the cabin is so cute perfectly situated the hot tub is awesome very clean just a beautiful getaway and not a far drive highly highly recommend
Beautiful view and had everything we needed for our 3 day stay - hot tub was awesome! Steve and his dogs added a special evening get together! Perfect Virginia countryside location!
Everything about this stay was easy, from the check in, check out/leaving, communication with the owner, recommendations from the owner, etc. Looking forward to staying there again.

Great property and location for the area. Steve the host was very kind, welcoming and accommodating. I'm looking forward to going back for a longer stay.
The property is stunning and accommodations are very private. It is a small bungalow but all that is needed. The linens provided were fabulous. The hot tub is clean, private and relaxing with a beautiful view. I highly recommend.
Wonderful, clean and updated property! Close to everything yet remote enough to feel "away from it all." Host was helpful and respectful with lots of great local recommendations. We had to cut our trip short but wished we could have stayed longer to enjoy all of the amenities.
Beautiful outside and inside. Loved the hot tub. Enjoyed talking to the host and being welcomed by his golden retriever. Thanks you so very much for sharing your beautiful place with us and others.
Incredible weekend at the Cowboy Hideaway!!! Thank you !!! So comfortable and quaint !! The countryside is so beautiful!! The host was very accommodating and responsive !! We’ll definitely be back !! Perfect weekend !!!

Gorgeous Outside Space
If you’re looking for a peaceful, secluded outdoor oasis, then this is the place for you. The accommodations are modest and quite small for a family. However, if you are spending most of your time outside and don’t need a full kitchen then it would probably fit your needs well. We enjoyed sitting by the fire pit, taking in the views and soaking in the hot tub.
Just what we needed!!! We were looking for some quiet chill and that’s exactly what we got!!
It was a cute cozy cabin. Had all essential’s available. Lovely farm setting. Beautiful and easy drive into township area with great restaurants.
We would definitely recommend staying there and we’ll definitely rent there again!! Well done ‼️
The property was so relaxing. We didn't see anyone except the owner, who was great to talk to (and his golden retriever). The Cowboy Hide a Way was so comfortable. The hot tub was clean, as was the cabin. The grill was in great shape.
I couldn't recommend a stay there any more.
I would love to go back.
Booked as a stay for a 2 now get and 3 day weekend in Monticello wine region for my wife’s birthday. I wanted quiet, private and comfortable with a hot tub and option for cooking and it worked out perfectly!
The cottage is comfortable and appointed well for a weekend to week long stay. It was quiet and private as we desired with nice views onto the fields enjoying sunrise and the local deer.
The kitchen has a 2 burner induction cooktop without an oven but with some prep at home I was then able to make a nice dinner for us one evening and breakfast for both mornings.
We enjoyed the stay and discussed other future travels to the area in which we would definitely return!
This cottage had everything my fiancé and I needed. A cozy cottage with phone charging stations at every table. Plenty of storage space for all of your needs. Private hot tub, grill and fire pit. The view of rolling hills from every corner of the cottage is so breathtaking that you don’t even have to leave to see nature. And the lake behind the cottage is icing on the cake. Steve is a great host and is always a phone call away.
I can’t say enough good things about our stay. We are already talking about our next adventure here.
