This listing includes 2 dwellings on the same farm -- the Cottage and Cabin at Stonemont Farm -- perfect for larger groups that want to enjoy each other's company and have space to spread out. Newly renovated Cottage and Cabin in beautiful Keswick, Virginia nestled into the hillside of a historic 170-acre farm that was originally part of a land grant belonging to the father of the famed explorer Meriwether Lewis. The Cottage is 3 bed/2 bath - sleeps 8 and the Cabin is 1 bed/1 bath - sleeps 4. In the heart of the Southwest mountain range, yet only 25 minutes from downtown Charlottesville, Stonemont Farm Retreat is perfect for enjoying a relaxing weekend while being a short drive to nearby vineyards and cideries Barboursville Vineyards, Castle Hill Cider, Keswick Hall, Keswick Vineyards, Merrie Mill, and Southwest Mountains Vineyards.

The front door of the cottage welcomes you into a sitting room with a beautiful bay window and pull-out sofa bed. This upper level also features 2 bedrooms with Queen sized beds, a full bath, dining room, laundry, full kitchen, and access to a large balcony with views of the pond. The stairs off the kitchen will take you to the lower level that has a second large living room, designated work space, third Queen bedroom, full bath, pull-out sleeper sofa, second laundry, and second kitchen! Walk out the back door to enjoy exclusive access to the fishing pond, grill, fire pit, and lawn space. Each space has been thoughtfully designed to provide comfort and relaxation.

Inside, you'll find a spacious, newly renovated living room with queen sleeper sofa, smart TV, vaulted ceilings, and endless natural light. The custom kitchen features new stainless steel appliances and everything to prepare meals, plus an eat-in style dining table that seats four. Just beyond the kitchen is the laundry room and full bath designed around the original clawfoot tub. The large, private Queen bedroom is lofted above the kitchen and accessed via stairs in the living room. Guests will feel transported by the cabin's modern, light, and airy design while embracing the forests and fields on this historic property. Outside, guests have exclusive access to a grill, chiminea, and fire pit to enjoy one's company by the fireside.

Ideally located within 13 miles of downtown Charlottesville, the University of Virginia, Keswick Hall, Gordonsville, Montpelier, and Monticello, this home is a perfect home base for a wedding weekend or getaway with family and friends.
