What a great boutique inn located near UVA and the downtown mall in Charlottesville, VA. It's such a historic inn. The innkeeper keeps an open line of communication with you and the housekeeper does a great job keeping the inn clean and provides you with plenty of amenities. They also provide you with a delicious breakfast each morning at the restaurant attached to the inn. Great location for touring Monticello, wineries, breweries, and distilleries.
