Family Vacation
Stayed here a few days as part of larger vacation with my girlfriend, mother and dogs. The property is in a great location and only minutes from everything we like to do. The house is in a very quiet neighborhood and had lots of well thought out extras, including for pets. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Get Away
Our stay at Windy Knoll was magical. The home was so well stocked with everything we could possibly need and more during our stay. It was so clean and so gorgeous, and the view was just amazing. We are already planning our next trip back to Windy Knoll and can’t wait!

Quick Family Getaway
My family decided to take a quick three-night trip to escape work and just relax and this was definitely the place to do it! We enjoyed the gorgeous views from the home and visits every night from the white-tail deer. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook a nice meal and enjoy our relaxing weekend. The host was extremely responsive and helpful. We all enjoyed ourselves, including our two dogs who loved the acreage to explore.

Beautiful Mountain Country Getaway
The host Wendy was very kind and quick to respond to us. This beautiful vacation cottage home has great views and awesome for seeing the stars and moon out the huge windows! The cottage was incredibly clean, organized and comfortable. It is ideally located to all that the Blue Ridge Mountains and Central VA have to offer. Worked out great for us to stay here as we have family that live on both sides of Afton Mountain that we were visiting.

Look no further
You never stop being impressed with this property. It is in the most beautiful setting with views from every room. The furnishings are lovely and comfortable and no detail has been missed. I have never stayed anywhere with a better stocked kitchen. There are full sized bath products and fluffy white towels in the bathrooms. Even the closets are decorated with pictures! Gorgeous artwork in every room. Large front porch for evening beverages and watching the wild life. Stay here. Don’t look any further.

Beautiful stay in the mountains.
We had the most enjoyable stay in the mountains of Virginia. Perfectly situated for an easy trip to Charlottesville, a hike in Shenandoah national park, a ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway, and so many wineries and breweries. The house itself was fantastic on a beautiful piece of property. So clean, comfortable, with fantastic views. I couldn’t ask for more. Great hosts.

Wonderful "Windy Knoll"
Windy Knoll is a most relaxing get-away! The house is always very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked. There is loads of information on hikes in the area, restaurants, and the wineries and breweries along Rte. 151. The porch is wonderful with beautiful views! If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing place to spend some free time, check out " Windy Knoll" .

Beautiful and just what we needed!
This was our second stay at Windy Knoll. Last year, we never left the house! This year we did do some R and R but also did some sightseeing. It's impossible not to relax here. Our favorite place? The front porch and our dogs agree. The front yard is beautiful to look at but also great for a good dog walk any time of day. The little back porch was nice for grilling, sitting, and watching the trees sway in the wind. A wonderful place to stay!
