Great location
The house is as advertised. It is an older home with stairs to get to your bedroom. I found the bed to be a little too bouncy and creaky for my liking. I am glad I was the only one in it. Location is great. So easy to walk downtown. You do have to park on the street so be prepared for that.

Wonderful bedroom in a beautiful home. A short walk to downtown restaurants and shops. A great location to visit Monticello or the wine trail! The host is delightful! The “continental” breakfast with fresh baked treats daily is a perfect way to start your day!

Outstanding visit to Cape Foster in C-Ville
We just returned from a memorable visit to the Cape Foster residence in Charlottesville. The residence is in an excellent location just a few blocks off the downtown mall area, super convenient to restaurants and local shops without the need to drive. Sue is an absolutely outstanding hostess and we both sincerely enjoyed her hospitality during our two-night stay. The residence and accommodations are exactly as described -- spacious and very comfortable. Sue provided scrumptious continental breakfasts both mornings in her beautiful dining room, fresh fruit and baked goods. We both found the Cape Foster house to be a great accommodation, only amplified by Sue's gracious and hospitable manner. Sue's communication was also excellent throughout the process and there were no issues. Her insights on local restaurants were also spot-on. We both hope to plan a return visit to the Cape Foster.

Great Location, Quiet Neighborhood
We were in C’ville to attend a concert at the Paramount Theater located in the Downtown Pedestrian Mall. It’s only 5 minute walk. We spent a good bit of time enjoying some of the great restaurants at the mall (Petit Pois, Tilmans, Crushed Pad, The Nook and an Italian place) all with outside dining. So handy to walk back and forth to restaurants and shops from the house. Monticello, Carter Mountain Orchard and local trails are only 15-20 minutes away by car. We had a parking pass to park across from the house. The owner, Ms Sue is on site and lovely to interact with. She provided a delicious continental breakfast. All in all a wonderful Fall getaway for us.

Lovely Stay With a Charming Hostess
My wife and I spent two nights at Cope-Foster when I arrived in town to start a new job. The neighborhood has an upscale feel, a stone's throw from the Downtown Mall. Sue Foster is a very welcoming hostess. Her home is beautiful, with an abundance of art and antiques. Although she said she was providing a "light breakfast", it was quite hearty: fresh fruit and yogurt, a hard boiled egg, delicious bread and muffins, bacon and orange juice, as well as coffee and tea. Breakfast is served in her sun-filled formal dining room. Our quarters were quite spacious, with a sitting area, desk, king sized bed and large bathroom. We would certainly return.

Found our Charlottesville place to stay for the future!
The home is conveniently located within walking distance to the mall, which is pretty much what we needed for this stay. Parking is along the street and didn't have any issues. The home was nostalgic as it is decorated similarly to my late grandparents; I absolutely loved seeing all the east Asian decor and aspire for that kind of collection! Sue was such an amazing hostess. We enjoyed having discussions with her and really enjoyed the continental breakfast each day she prepared. The master bedroom and everything is as pictured; we had everything we needed. Keep in mind this home is older, so you're gonna hear the creaks when you walk around. The little fans in the room were perfect white noise. Also, the room doesn't get completely dark, so if you need darkness, I suggest an eye mask. We plan to return to stay here next time we come to Charlottesville!

Meticulous and well maintained historic home filled with period furniture and collectibles just a few blocks from the downtown pedestrian mall offering lots of dining and shopping opportunities. Perfect location for exploring Charlottesville, Monticello, and lots of area vineyards. Zoned parking in the neighborhood was easy using the parking pass provided. The host is in residence full time but very respectful of our privacy while being a wealth of information about the area. A very nice continental breakfast was offered every day. It wasn’t important to us but there was no TV in our room. However, we were able to catch the news on a TV in the common area.

Great room in a comfy in-town home
We spent one night at Sue's lovely home in downtown Charlottesville, VA. The room upstairs is really a very spacious suite, with a sitting area in an elevated section on one side and a large, king bed on the other, with an entire bathroom to the right. It was very roomy, comfortable, and well appointed. There were many areas to sit (two queen anne chairs, plus two other chairs in front of the bed), a older, antique writing desk to use if you have a laptop, a strong wifi signal, and it was very tastefully decorated to an early-to-mid-20th century feel. Sue was extremely friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable about the area. We were supposed to be there for two nights but, because of travel plans necessarily changing, we were only able to stay for one night. Because we prepaid, I assume there will be no discussion or attempt for reimbursement for the night we did not stay. That is one of the unfortunate downsides of trying to plan a trip while also accounting for interruptions or changes that can occur over a 10-day span. The VRBO paradigm can be a bit unforgiving. If you don't mind staying in a home with hosts, this is an excellent option while exploring the C'ville area. You are directly downtown so access to anything in the historic district is well within walking distance. Heading out to other historic areas (like Monticello or others) is also extremely convenient. Parking is a bit challenging with the host providing a parking permit card to hang off your rearview mirror. If no spots are available when you arrive, you must park hard to the right in the shareable existing driveway, which may require a passenger to exit before pulling in close to the side of the house. But these are concessions you sometimes have to make while visiting or staying in downtown locations. It was not a problem for us. Overall it was a very comfortable stay and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in the Charlottesville area.

One of our nicest "homestay" experiences...! The house is clean, comfortable, delightfully decorated and situated within walking distance of many of the exciting things that Charlottesville has to offer. The owner is lovely and was extremely accommodating for all of our needs. Our trip focus was a visit to Monticello and exploration of the area wineries. So staying downtown, only 15 min. from Monticello and within 20 min. of many of the fabulous wineries throughout the area made it all convenient, simple and absolutely perfect......!!!!

Great property & location but hard bed
This property is so cute and the location is great. The host is very helpful and the home is decorated in beautiful antiques and feels like a quaint little museum. Unfortunately the beds feel super hard and old. If the beds had modern mattresses I would say this place is perfect but we were unable to rest with the mattresses being so uncomfortable.

Response from VrboOwner on Sep 30, 2021
Hi Whitney, we are glad that you enjoyed the property overall and were pleased with the hospitality of the host/owner of the property. Sorry to hear that you felt the mattresses were uncomfortable. This is the first time we have received this feedback from guests at Cope Foster regarding the mattresses. We will certainly see if this becomes reoccurring as mattresses can be tricky with personal preferences. The host did report back to us (being the rental manager) that she provided an extra mattress topper to help remedy the issue and did everything they could to ensure you had a comfortable stay. Thanks for the feedback.

What a property! House was built in 1865–wow. Interior is decorated with beautiful antiques. Neighborhood is safe and quiet. The hostess is friendly, polite, and accommodating. The downtown mall is a short walk away. Would love to stay there again and absolutely recommend this property to a mature, responsible couple. Keep in mind when the house was built when you book and you will be more than pleased. And the hostess even provides a light, scrumptious breakfast each morning.
