Piedmont Grove This…read moreplace is a complete vibe! It is modern but rustic at the same time. Self service check in, 24hr lounge access on site. There are multiple private stand alone suites and a couple others directly attached to the lounge. We stayed in suite 8 which was attached to the lounge. The lounge on site had a water filter, ice, dishwasher, microwave, coffee/tea, and a kettle. Also there's a few sit and eat tables, along with couch s and a nice sized television. Theres a vending machine here, but unfortunately it was inoperable. For suite 8, it was perfect for my husband and I. There was a huge king size bed, and beautiful bathroom with his and her sinks. The focal point of this room and the units on site is their massive glass window facing towards the outter street route 161. Parking was no problem, each suite has accessible parking directly in front of their suite. Although there's no one physically on site to assist and answer questions, property managers are very responsive via their "info" email address. The property is 21+ no pets allowed. It was super quiet at night, as Piedmont Grove lists their quiet hours begining after 8pm. This property is within walking distance to Devils Backbone Brewery and the SKI supply store. Also extremely close to Blue Toad Frog Cidery and Bold Rock, to name a few. This is very much a five star review, BUT... a couple things should be mentioned. The water from the shower after running reeks of sulfur (rotten eggs). It is so horrible we had to open windows and the door to air out the smell after showering. It is very noticeable and hard to ignore. Additionally there's absolutely no iron on site, bring a steamer or something. I confirmed this with the "info" email address after reaching out to them. Great place, I'd love to return but the shower smell should be addressed.

What a great spot right next to devils backbone. I have stayed here twice in different units. Loved…read moreeverything about their cabins.

Lost power and was not refunded the night we didn't stay…read more My thoughtful husband booked a two-night stay for my birthday from the night of 8/15 to check out on 8/17 Checking in was easy. Front desk was nice. The room that we got wasn't too spacious (our 3 kids prefer the spaciousness of Hilton Homewood suites and the like) but it made up for it with the little patio space and easy access to go outside so that we could take our dog out. Not too bad for just a couple of nights. On the 16th we had breakfast at The Mill Room. Upon arrival (around 8:50am) the hostess was confused when we said we prepaid for breakfast. She continued to look confused about us pre-paying online. My husband shrugged and decided let's just deal with it later and sit down to eat. I don't know if it's something that they just started and she was not familiar with, but I thought it was odd. Once we sat down to eat, she came back and she said "oh you got a breakfast package?!" And then proceeded to explain how we charge it to the room and how it gets deducted from the amount we prepaid. The breakfast was good with a selection of the typical items like: eggs, potatoes, sausage, bacon as well as pastries and chia pudding. The freshly made waffles were my favorite. That day we had planned to visit some vineyards and an Orchard, do the typical family Charlottesville experience and then get back to use the sports facility and the pool. It was storming on the way back, so we knew that we weren't going to be able to use the pool. When we were entering the building a gentleman who was also staying there said they had lost power and the whole property seemed to be without power. There were no lights on. There didn't seem to be a generator powering emergency lights or anything like that. Thankfully, our room door did open with our card. This was a bit before 8pm. When my husband called guest services, they said to give it about an hour. I'm not sure if this is what the power company gave them or if this was just an estimated time they came up with. An hour later, we still didn't have power. My husband is a business owner and as much as we want to be unplugged when we have family time. It's not realistic. He needs to be available for any emergencies having to deal with his business or his elderly parents. We decided that we couldn't stay the night in a hot hotel room since the AC didn't have power (it was so hot and humid) and risk not being able to charge our devices. Guest services told him that he wouldn't be charged for the night so we booked with a different hotel, packed up our belongings in the dark with the little light we could get from our phone flashlights. Hopefully we didn't miss anything, but we packed everything in the dark and left around 9pm. On the 17th we checked out of the NEW hotel that we booked and drove back 3 hours to our home. My husband saw that we were indeed charged for the night of the 16th so he called the next day, which was Tuesday the 18th around 5:45pm. He left a message with our room number and information requesting that it be refunded. He did not receive a call back. He also tried to emailing but that just bounced back like their email isn't working. It is now 8/21 and we still have not received back any information regarding the stay being refunded as well as the "breakfast package" for five people, for that following morning.

At any rate, we messed up our reservation and arrived later than we thought, but that was okay with the restaurant server and he got us a table right away. Impeccable service and the food was delicious! My husband ordered the elk and I ordered the quail, which all was so nice! Lots of flavor! The espresso martini was good and not overpowering. I give this restaurant 5 stars and if I could, It's expensive, but worth it! We are going back for our wedding anniversary and definitely birthday celebration dinner. This is a must go!!! I didn't get pictures of the food, but i did get the pictures of their Winter Wander.

One review?!? People need to know about this place!!!…read more We travel frequently and love to stay at B&Bs. We had reservations to stay at a different B&B in Scottsville but due to an unfortunate situation we found ourselves looking for alternate arrangements. While I was on the cell phone checking for a place my wife ran across The Chester and called them. She was smiling from the moment that she spoke with them on the phone which, considering our frame of mind, was a great start. We got to this place which was absolutely gorgeous. The Inn was spacious, clean, very tastefully decorated and painted, and smelled like roses and family. We were warmly greeted by Jean who showed us the rooms and was accommodating from the get go. She helped us plan dinner and set up a late wine tasting trip, as well as offered to make dinner for us the evening after. The dinner was fantastic with Jean and Craig pampering us with delicious food, wine and dessert. If you have the opportunity to have dinner with them ask her for the orange squash soup and the rosemary pork...WOW! The breakfasts too were amazing!! We offered Jean to buy our own bacon/sausage since my wife does not eat nitrates (migraines). She told us not to worry about it and she will figure it out. The first day she served a fantastic veggie quiche (sorry if I am not using the right term) with fresh juice and french pressed coffee. The second day french toast with NITRATE FREE apple sausages! Our rooms were promptly made every day and Craig made sure to provide turned down service which was a very nice detail. Oh yeah, we got to meet the grand baby and also the Inn mascot, Trixie, who is a sweet little dog with the best personality. One of the best B&B experiences we've had period! We will be back!!

The second evening we even talked them into a scotch and great conversation in front of a roaring fire.

In a sentence, White Pig is a vegan bed-and-breakfast with Victorian aesthetic, where proceeds go directly to helping rescued pigs, goats, and horses. Both of our stays were incredibly enriching and meaningful to us as lifelong vegans. The rooms are extremely comfortable, elegant, tastefully and practically laid out. Heavy emphasis on pig related knickknacks, wall art, and general animal decor reminds you what is at the heart of all this. Founder/ owner/ innkeeper, Dina, is also chef extraordinaire. She provides gorgeous and nutritious vegan breakfast in a charming kitchen with cheerily arranged pig-forward table settings. As soon as you start talking with her, you'll find her to be one of the most compassionate advocates for animals you will ever meet. She's devoted her life to raising awareness and introducing people to the intelligent and gregarious animal so many of us grew up eating. Dina knows the area well and has wonderful suggestions. It's thanks to her that my husband and I took a hot air balloon ride over the Charlottesville Mountains during our anniversary stay. When I returned with my daughter's on our most recent visit, we opted to stay on the farm and visit with the resident rescues for the entirety of our leisure time. The horses and pony are located near the big house. My girls adored these social creatures who come to greet them over the fence. Then it was on to the pigs & goats. Oh my goodness there are domesticated pigs of every style and breed I thought imaginable, so many we had never heard of . Adorable kunekune (fury pigs), dignified little warthogs, standard English pigs with floppy ears, and every color and pattern a Vietnamese potbellied pig can be. For the most part the pigs are interested in a friendly hello. Some little fellows are standoffish and there's plenty of space for them to stay away from the commotion of visitors. There are quite a few goats in the mix as well. Each of these rescue animals are so delightful and it's humbling to think of the journeys that brought them to this beautiful vegan sanctuary. If you're looking to support a good cause while also being surrounded by natural beauty and staying in comfortable accommodations with a cruelty-free and quite delicious breakfast provided to you, then you should book a stay at White Pig.

After breakfast we greeted and gave a few snacks to the horses, said hello and gave pets to all the miniature pot-bellies, and walked the gorgeous property.
