About this property
HIDDEN GEM BARN STUDIO WITH A VIEW near Monticello, wineries, with pool
Tranquil. Great views. Relaxing. A heavenly piece of the country with views you won't believe until you drive onto the property. 10 minutes from Downtown Charlottesville and Trump Winery. Neighbor's to the Clifton Inn. Want to visit Carter's Mountain to view the fall foliage or pick apples? That will take you 5 minutes as will Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. It's just minutes away from many of your favorite things that Charlottesville has to offer but in a very private, peaceful setting. We like to call it our "hidden gem." This studio apartment sits on a 5-acre parcel that once was included in the adjacent 64-acre farm. This barn studio sits about 100 yards from our main house and houses our newest “sister” studio as well, the Milton View, by way of a new addition that sits on the other side. It's a great place to enjoy a summer sunset from your own balcony, or just hang out and breathe the fresh country air after a long day of visiting local wineries. This loft studio consists of a king bed that has a nice foam topper. Enjoy a nice hot shower in the walk-in tiled shower. There also is a kitchen complete with coffee maker, stove, refrigerator/freezer.
I love to decorate so I’m particularly grateful to do so in this barn studio. I want my guests to feel like they are in a home not in a hotel room. I carefully hand pick and oftentimes paint my own furniture finds. The balcony is a great place for morning coffee (I grind my local favorite Greenberry’s coffee beans for guests to enjoy prior to each arrival) breathing in the fresh air and taking in the Mountain View’s. We have a fire pit (wood, kindling, blankets and lighter provided) and a pool up near our main house for our guests to enjoy. (Please let us know if you’d like to use the pool after 6:30 pm as we like to swim laps around that time so we can adjyst.) There is another guesthouse on the property and all guests have access to the pool. Pool is seasonal. Usually opens late April and closes end of September but weather can change this schedule so best to inquire before booking.
Also, Liability Waiver: You understand that swimming in the pool is at your own risk and that special risks may be involved with swimming. You accept full responsibility for any bodily harm arising from swimming and hold the owner harmless. You agree to use only plastic cups (provided) when drinking liquid in the pool area. You agree to be fully and solely responsible for any accidents you may incur. You understand the risk discussed above and agree that you will assume all responsibility. You agree to waive any claim whatsoever against the owner for accidents or claims arising from swimming, In booking this vrbo all guests agree to thus Liability Waiver.
I like to give my guests as much privacy as possible during their stay. But they can always access me via text as I respond quickly to ensure their needs are met.

This property was perfect for a weekend getaway. The owners are super responsive and the house was well stocked and clean upon arrival.
The home was close enough to town, but in the country. Perfect fall rest and recharge retreat.
If in the area again, we will be back.
The Hidden Gem was excellent, very convenient to downtown Charlottesville and the surrounding attractions. Clean, quiet, perfect for a party of two. This place has all the amenities one would need when staying away from home without the "hotel" vibe. The Hidden Gem will definitely be at the top of my list to book again.
Hats off to Trish for making our stay spectacular. What a gorgeous area to spend our vacation.
Perfectly located to many of the best wineries in Charlottesville. Her wall size blackboard led us to some great places. Thanks again Trish
Cozy getaway for 2 with a scenic view. Spotless and very well designed. Comfortable bed and very nice large screen tv. The deck was perfect for a romantic drink under the stars. Our host did an exceptional job to make us feel welcomed. This was our 2nd stay with many more to come.
Beautiful property inside and out. Very clean and well kept. Little details show the pride that the host takes in maintaining it. Great proximity to historic Charlottesville and all the grape gardens! 10/10.
We couldn’t have pictured a more perfect stay! This property is perfect for a couple looking to get away in the quaintness and beauty of Virginia. The property overlooked a gorgeous farm and mountain view and was the perfect amount of space for us. A cute little kitchen downstairs. We only used it to refrigerate food, but there were appliances and amenities for cooking if you wanted to. Upstairs was a studio room with an adorable farm house feel. The view from the upstairs balcony was beautiful.
Trish was easily accessible from our inquiries prior to booking to the second we left. They were very thoughtful when stocking the property- including water bottles in the refrigerator, fresh ground coffee that was locally sourced, a chalkboard in the kitchen, with suggestions and recommendations for things to do and places to go, little things for the bathroom that you might forget to bring and even little games to play. Many of the wineries and breweries were within a 20 minute drive. It was really a wonderful weekend trip!
We had a fabulous weekend in cville staying at The Hidden Gem. The setting is gorgeous and peaceful and the owners allowed us to use their private pool. Will definitely be back!
Spent two nights at this lovely property. Everything was wonderful and we had a perfect weekend. We look forward to coming back. I can’t tolerate chlorine pools for too long so the saltwater pool was heaven! We relaxed by the fire pit and visited winery and a restaurant that were just a few minutes away.
This is such a lovely place that is quiet but yet close enough to the heart of Charlottesville for plenty of places to stay. Have returned here multiple times.
Property is exactly as described and the loft was beautifully decorated. We stayed for a mother/daughter weekend and had the best time. Hanging out on the balcony watching the sun rise over the mountains while we sipped coffee and watched deer grazing was pure perfection. We are already planning our next visit.
Near Monticello. There are great views! The unit is clean and comfortable. If you on the tall side, be careful of the sloped ceilings. The bed was comfortable. The shower was also nice.
