This was the best get away! My boyfriend and I stayed for 2 nights and it was the reset we needed. We got to bring our girls (dogs) who had a fantastic time! Daily walks down to the lake, a hike in the woods with the trailheads right on the property, close to "town" for good local food and cute shops (check out Bluebird & Co for cute clothes, accessories, and books!). I cannot recommend this rental enough. We will be back for sure! read more

We stayed here for a wedding that was on-site. The cabins are rustic, peaceful and quiet. Absolutely would visit again. We enjoyed not having service but being able to connect to the WiFi that was provided in the cabin if we needed to. Thank you Montfair for the gorgeous Mountain Views! read more

Such a wonderful place to stay and relax. The staff were so kind and accommodating. They really make you feel welcome and give you ways to contact them outside of their office hours. We stayed in the A Frame cabin and it was very clean, and we'll stocked with kitchen utensils, toiletries, blankets, linens, towels, you name it. They had plenty of heaters to use so you never had a cold space in your cabin during the cold winter nights. We were extremely cozy and took advantage of the DVD player they had with the movies we brought along. They also had board games! When not in the cabin, there are plenty of trails to roam and they have bikes on site you can use. We did not use the bikes, but we took a few nice walks through the site and enjoyed the trail by the lake. I can only imagine how beautiful it is during the summer too. Overall, I am SO happy we got to stay here. Oh! Also if you have a dog, they make your pup also feel right at home with a dog bowl, doggie towel, and couch protector! Thank you so much for the wonderful vacation, we are already in talks of visiting again in the summer. read more

We participated in a wedding at this venue this past weekend. The site is conveniently located just a few miles outside of Crozet, Virginia, and a short distance from Charlottesville. It consists of several cabins as well as an indoor and outdoor pavilion. The wedding actually took place outside with the beautiful backdrop of the mountains in the distance. The staff was very accommodating to the needs of our wedding participants and we enjoyed a nice weekend in the woods. The cabins are rustic, yet have stoves, refrigerators, and Wi-Fi. I would definitely recommend this as a potential wedding venue! read more

If you are looking for a great way for the family to relax and unplug...this is it! What a scenic drive and beautiful location! I thoroughly enjoyed the 2 hour trip from the Eastern Panhandle of WV all the way to the resort. Our children are 8 and 10 and we also took 3 small dogs. The one mistake I made was booking a 1 room cabin, instead of the 2 room option. It still all worked out due to the daybed. But next time I'll book the 2 bedroom for sure! Located close to many activities, but my children didn't want to leave the premises. The bike trails, canoe fun, and tennis courts were their favorites. The conditions of the resort and cabin were very clean and it offered a lot of amenities for the price. I purchased and enjoyed the upgrades of fresh flowers, local soap, and local jam. Again, it was very clean and everything up to par! The owner spoke with my husband and he was very friendly and welcoming. Thanks so much for a much needed relaxing weekend! read more

We had a great stay here over the holidays in a small cabin. I loved the fact you could come here to get away from it all to have peace and quiet (you don't even have interact with anyone to check in or check out) or you could make some new friends (they have weekend, bring your own s'mores bonfires). Here are some of the best parts of our stay: Super cozy cabin that is well stocked. They have all the essentials: board games, books, magazines, paper towels, extra towels and linens and bathroom spray. The kitchen although small was really well stocked with appliances and tools for cooking. Really close to Charlottesville (30 min) and tons of breweries and vineyards. The gas fireplace in the cabins can heat the place up fast. We had the windows open for most of our stay The trails around this place were super easy and clearly labelled. The outerloop around the lake/pond thingie a nice light hike that's great for families and pugs in wheelchairs The availability of canoes and mountain bikes for campers to borrow. The entrance and ceremony field is adorable for weddings. Super dog friendly, with dog doors in the cabin. Although there are signs everywhere not to wash your pets in the cabin. Not sure what that is about. The not so great parts: Really low water pressure. I am guessing because the hot water heaters are pint sized. The shower is like being peed on. I put off hair washing for awhile. Not enough locks. As someone who has watched Friday the 13th and is convinced that mass murderers hit up campsites, there are not enough locks on the windows and doors for my comfort. The window locks were missing or broken and the front door had a broken screen door latch and only one lock. I also enjoy how there were ladders under the porch to assist the mass murderers with a little B&E. Zero cell phone reception. This ties into the mass murderer part above. but they do have wifi that's slow so I guess you could email 911. Follow their websites directions to get here because you will have no GPS. Ok even though I was super paranoid about the lack of security and my hair is starting to form dreadlocks like they did in sixth grade outdoor education, I found myself missing this place this morning which means we are definitely going back, I'll just have to remember to bring the mace and dry shampoo this time. read more

Excellent location for off-the-grid fun. We spent 3 days & nights here as a family, including 2 teen daughters and 2 small dogs, in some very cold and windy weather, and everyone had a great time. We specifically wanted a place where it would be challenging to use phones and devices, so that wasn't an issue for us. The PawPaw cabin was just what we needed, enough space for the 4 humans and 2 dogs to be cozy, eat, play games, read, and sleep. The heaters worked very well and the place was warm despite weather in the 30s, rain, snow and wind. One day we spent exploring Grand Caverns and then borrowing Montfair's bikes to ride the on-site trails, and another day we hiked in Shenandoah National Park. We also spent time walking around the resort with our dogs. The staff was incredibly friendly- we learned about the history of the resort and the family who love the location- but it would also be easy to go your whole visit without seeing the staff, making this feel like a private retreat. Sufficient dishes for cooking and eating- we ate every meal except 1 in the cabin- and the hot water and shower pressure worked well. Recommend for rustic, low-key fun with family and friends. read more

Nice getaway. Cabins are older but have everything you need. Beautiful property. It's quiet and you won't have great cell service in most areas. I stay again. read more

It was a much needed weekend summer getaway and we stayed at pawpaw cabin overlooking the lake. We had a great time as the cabin was cozy and homey. The resort offers a lot of amenities that we enjoyed such as canoeing, biking and we went hiking at sugar hollow falls and winery at Stinson vineyard. Overall, it was a peaceful, relaxing and fun experience and we'd love to come back again during fall season. read more

Montfair Resort Farm - Pawpaw cabin - Vacation Rentals Near Me - Crozet, Virginia

I attended a beautiful late spring wedding here, and it really felt like we were FAR, FAR away from civilization. It was great, except there was literally zero phone service or wifi in the entire vicinity. It was actually a very nice change of pace because it allowed all us guests to really focus on the beautiful wedding and being in the present. However, my friend and I were a little nervous about finding our way out of there and back home! Not to worry, Waze had saved our route somehow and we were able to get back home without being lost! Back to the venue - the landscape and views are breathtaking which I highly recommend for photos. I can't speak to the pricing or customer service details, but from what I saw as a wedding guest, everything was executed flawlessly. There was plenty of parking and the walk from the outside ceremony area to the reception was quite short. It was outdoorsy and beautiful! read more

We had a nice stay at Montfair resort farm. We stayed at the A-frame Paw Paw cottage which has the best views in my opinion because it sits directly across from the lake. The cottage comes supplied with linens, towels, hand soap, dish soap, toilet paper, and paper towels for your stay. They even provide you with a nice sample of coffee and tea which was nice. They give you the option to add farm fresh eggs and handmade soaps to your account so when you arrive for your stay you'll have eggs ready for you in the fridge for breakfast and lovely soap to use during your stay. They also provide packaged bar soap as well as shampoo and conditioner it feels like staying in a hotel. I loved that they are very eco conscious and take a lot of thought in the products they provided. Recycling bins are provided at each cottage and once full you place them by the street and they will empty them for you. That was convenient because we have stayed other places and they don't provide disposal and you need to take it to the nearest dumpster and most places don't have recycling available. We saw beautiful deer around the campground almost every day we were there. We even saw an owl perched on the tree next to our cottage. The cottage itself was clean and comfortable. They provided essential cooking utensils and cutlery as well as appliances. The cottage is also pet friendly. There are many options close by to enjoy with family or friends. We noticed lots of wineries and breweries. We spent most of our time biking, hiking, and driving through skyline drive. We enjoyed some of the local restaurants and the nearest grocery store isn't far but there is also two mom and pop shops very close and the staff is very helpful and friendly. We will definitely keep Montfair resort in mind for any future stays if we find ourselves in the area in the future. read more

We just came home from our second visit to Montfair. We love the beautiful untouched forest and quiet atmosphere. Our children loved fishing, hiking and getting outside exploring. Our dogs even got to come along too. The cabin was comfortable and well equipped. It had everything we needed. Highly recommend Montfair. We are looking forward to our next visit. read more

Montfair Resort Farm - Vacation Rentals Near Me - Crozet, Virginia

We stayed here for three nights and overall, we enjoyed our stay; the grounds are beautiful and the cottages are cozy. However, there are some caveats: stink bugs, large ants and what turns out are carpenter bees. Upon our arrival we cleaned up dead stink bugs and large ants and not just a few. Over the course of three days I killed at least 15 stink bugs and maybe 10 large ants that were found crawling on the ground and in the kitchen, despite the fact that we didn't leave any food out. On our last full day we returned back to our cottage and found the black, buzzing creatures swarming around our cottage. I spoke with management later and apparently they are carpenter bees, which are harmless and they are working on eliminating them. The staff is great and everyone I spoke with was very nice. When the sun began to go down the flying beasts were in their little nests so we were able to enjoy sitting outside while BBQing. All of the cottages have charcoal grills and we used ours every night of our stay. During the day we enjoyed using the mountain bikes at the farm and did some biking right on the property, we also canoed in the "lake," which is really a pond, but it's still nice and canoeing was a lot of fun. Charlottesville is only about 30 minutes away so we checked out the town and farmers market, both of which we enjoyed. You can't do much hiking right on the grounds; I suppose you could walk around and explore the property, but biking around is much more fun. We did the Moorman's river hike, just fifteen minutes away by car. There are also several wineries close by, we visited Kings Family Vineyards and it was great! Apparently there are breweries nearby as well, but we didn't check those out. Each cabin comes with a binder full of Google maps to help you find cool places to check out and we found that to be very helpful. The farm is definitely in a great location with tons to do. However, given the flying beasts and bugs we aren't sure that we would stay here again; I've stayed in cabins in the woods before and I understand that there are insects in nature, but I've never had to deal with so many of them before. I definitely recommend this place if you're able to secure a cottage that's been updated so that you experience fewer bugs, unless you enjoy that kinda thing. read more

The surroundings can't be beat - Montfair is nestled in the mountains and is a beautiful piece of property. We stayed a few nights here. The cabins are quaint, but are tiny. There is too much stuff in the cabins - the beds hardly even fit in the bedrooms and there's not even enough space to put a suitcase. We were only 2 and were tripping over each other the whole time - and this was a cabin that they said could fit 6! It was also pretty dusty inside and the dishes could have used a good cleaning. As a side note, they claim to be eco-friendly, but I didn't see much evidence of this - while they had a small composting bin, there was nowhere to empty it once it was full and there wasn't a recycling bin (I guess there wasn't enough space for another bin?) The cabins don't have any type of insulation, so the heat has to be turned on at all times, and our cabin had multiple heaters running. Furthermore, the gas heater let off a terrible smell. I felt they charged more than they should have. read more

Wonderful time in the mountains with lots of hiking, mountain bike riding, and canoeing. The cabin is rustic but very nice and setting on the lake. The owners provide everything you need, except your food. They are very environmentally aware and provide compost and grease containers as well as recycle bins. Mountain bikes are provided free of charge as well as canoes. We highly recommend Montfair Farm and Resort for your next getaway. read more

We had the best winter weekend away! We could not have asked for a better place to stay in the mountains. It was beautiful. It was also very family friendly. We took our 2.5 year old twins and they had so much fun playing in the forest, walking the trails, and seeing the beaver. It was very clean and had everything that we needed. The office staff was just so friendly and amazing. The location was also wonderful being so close to Charlottesville. We spent a day walking around the downtown mall. We also took the time to snuggle some baby goats on the way home. A must stay and we will be back for sure! read more

I absolutely love this place. My husband and I just stayed there last week for our anniversary vacation. This is our third time there. To start the location is wonderful it's set in a lovely wooded setting. The cabins or cottages have everything you need from a full kitchen complete with pots pans, dinnerware as well as plenty of towels and wifi. As soon as we got there I opened all of the windows for some wonderful fresh air. Our cabin overlooked the pond where we serenaded all night by the frogs. The cabins also have a covered porch where we relaxed at night after a long day of hiking at Shenandoah park. Although in a rural location they're not far from Shenandoah or Charlottesville. All in all a great place to stay I highly recommend it. read more

We just had our wedding here this past weekend. Let me begin by saying how beautiful the venue is. The staff is outstandingly helpful. The cabins have so many little amenities you would never remember to pack. We will be back for other trips. Thank you Montfair! read more

I coordinated the wedding of a friend's daughter on Saturday, May 7 that was held at Montfair. The weather did not cooperate at all but the event ended up being lovely. I can't say enough about how great it was to work with the staff at Montfair. Victoria (the events manager) was incredibly helpful, down to finding little items that we'd forgotten just hours before the event. The entire staff was present and accommodating the entire day. The weather the night before had been terrible so there was a lot of clean up and raking to be done, and they still found the time to help us move the event indoors and help us with every need. No request was too small and they were so pleasant and nice. The lodge is charming and cozy with a huge tented deck for more space. There are 9 cabins so the entire bridal party and some friends were able to stay on sight. The scenery around Montfair is gorgeous to boot. Thanks much! read more

We have stayed at Montfair many times. Cabins are rustic and cozy. The property is gorgeous. We loved it so much we even got married here. And will be back at least once a year. Close to the cute town of Crozet and lots of wineries/breweries. Not a bad drive from Charlottesville either. Enjoy your stay! read more

Nice place I'm sad I didn't even know about while living in Charlottesville. Found it on the way out of town. Beautiful location and nice people. Out only gripe would be the doors that slam on the cabins. read more

Just celebrated our wedding at this marvelous place. The beauty of this place and the wonderful staff made this a fairytale event for us. We can't wait to go back there for our wedding anniversary. Can't wait!!! read more

Great place. Fabulous location. All the amenities you could need while relaxing in the woods and getting away from it all.

Our stay/ceremony was excellent! We stayed the whole weekend with friends and family and had the time of our lives. The accommodations were lovely and the activities were fun! The property is gorgeous and the staff is so friendly and helpful. We never felt like we were unwanted quests. The venue for our ceremony was easy to use and set up. We couldn't be happier with the whole experience! read more

Beautiful, simple cabins for a productive writing retreat. We'll be back!

A truly memorable few days spent away from the city! Holly Cottage was perfect -- very basic, quiet, and clean! While we were there, we made quick trips to the White Hall winery and Monticello. We have been back only a week, and we are already planning a trip back in a couple months! The staff was very friendly and helpful -- special recognition to Katie! read more

My boyfriend (now fiance) and I had one of our first dates at a bonfire at Montfair in 2011. Three years later, he surprised me with a proposal and an overnight stay at one of Montfair's cabins. The staff, especially Lisa, were very accommodating with my fiance's fluctuating work schedule. Lisa even helped my fiance come up with ideas on how to get me to Montfair without ruining the surprise. The staff are so friendly and kind. I highly recommend Montfair for any events - small and large. Not to mention, the cabins have everything you need and the scenery is breathtaking. read more
