Here you can see and hear the story of Rockbridge and the creative designs that come out The Rockbridge House. Take a moment to browse through the reels and see if you can recognize any famous faces who’ve sat on the very couch you’ll soon be enjoying!

The Rockbridge House was simply amazing. We were in town for a concert and had no idea about the history and significance of the Rockbridge house at the time of booking. The home is owned by one of the founders of the Rockbridge Guitar Company and sits directly over the guitar shop. Really cool and fitting for our weekend. The house was tastefully decorated with artwork throughout, very comfortable for 2 couples and the location can’t be beat, only 2 blocks from the downtown mall (walkable to all things downtown). I highly recommend and will stay here again on my next trip to Charlottesville. Thank you for sharing you the Rockbridge House with us!

A fully functional fully furnished home

This is a gorgeous fully renovated old historic home in walking distance to shopping restaurants and more. One of the few homes we have stayed in that has enough seating for the number of guests. Very comfortable living space and beautifully decorated
