We've visited Chesley Creek Farm twice and will continue to return year after year…read more If you are looking for seclusion, nature, and a personal touch without sleeping in a tent this is the place for you. The cottages (there are 4 to choose from) are well appointed with everything you need and lack exactly what you don't need in a place like this (phone, tv, or internet). The cottages are in Dyke, VA about 20 minutes from Skyline Drive so it's very easy access for hiking. It's about 45 minutes to Charlottesville where you can shop for groceries, go to dinner, or just hang out if you need to reconnect with the city. The cabins have jacuzzi's, full kitchens, grills, backyards with fire pits, indoor fireplaces and board games. They also have a salt water pool in the main house that you can use (and I recommend after a hike!). Personal touches make this place what it is: they've thought of everything. We also loved the fresh cookies that were dropped off at our house and Chuck and Stew always write us personal notes to welcome us to the house. Looking for privacy? The cabins are secluded and you enter them via a keypad on the door so you don't have to check in or out...just come and go as you wish. I highly recommend this place! And will be back in the fall.

It has been stunningly…read morerestored to its original log walls and heavy ceiling beams, fireplaces everywhere, and a rustic country setting. The Innkeepers are unfailingly kind and accommodating. So hospitable. Nice wrap-around porch well appointed with rocking chairs (which we enjoyed in only the sunrise hours as it is July and brutally hot and humid.) The B&B is fully air conditioned with individual settings for each guest room. We stayed in the Silk Room, which is enormous! In the antebellum era, silkworms were raised in there and fed harvested mulberry leaves. Modern amenities such as walk-in showers are blended well with the historic features so that there is no jarring sense of disconnect. Breakfast is served each morning by the Innkeepers and is a feast for the eye as well as the palate. Coffee, tea, and ice are available in the dining room 24 hours. There is a shared refrigerator and microwave for guests' convenience. The common parlors downstairs are tastefully furnished with good antique pieces. We loved our brief stay, the last two nights of a two-week honeymoon. Back again someday? Hope so!

Such a sweet extra amenity. Celena & Susan were so kind and responsive. We met afew of the other staff along the property and they were all so sweet and courteous as well.

This wasn't my first time riding but even if it was anyone could ride him. I enjoyed the trail ride throughly I wanted it to last another hour it was so peaceful! Between the instructor & my man we got great pictures and an unforgettable experience.

We happened upon this place while looking for a weekend getaway in the Wintergreen area. My husband…read moreand I both love the outdoors and love to hike, and we were looking for a location that would cater to both of these where we did not need to travel far. When we found the web page for Whispering Oaks, we knew that we had found our place. This home was exactly what we had been looking for! It looked warm and inviting, comfy, spacious, and it was close to many of the things that we wanted to do. We booked right away. The home did not disappoint. We arrived in the evening after dark, but the instructions were so specific for check in that we did not have any delay in finding the home or getting in. Everything was set up perfectly and was spotless. We booked at the beginning of December, and our hosts even set up Christmas cds for us and put movies out as well. We were able to come in and get settled quickly, and before we knew it, it felt like home. We put on a fire (there were firelogs as well as a huge supply of firewood waiting), turned on the television, and enjoyed lounging in the living room. The living room is huge-- the pictures truly do not do it justice. The ceilings are incredibly high and impressive, and it truly does make you feel like you are living outdoors (without the cold that is). The remainder of our stay was wonderful as well. We had all of the kitchen supplies that we needed to cook as well as other basic supplies that we needed to function as if it were our own home. Hiking, our main goal for the weekend, was also incredibly convenient. Our first day in town we ventured to the Nature Center to get oriented for a hike (this was not necessary, however, as our hosts left maps of all of the trails for us in the kitchen, but it is always nice to get a person speaking from experience about the trails nearby). We decided on the Upper Shamokin Falls trail, which did not disappoint- it was both challenging and beautiful. The second day it was a bit drizzly, so we decided to travel the walk around the golf course to the nature trail around the corner. We had an easier trail for this, but it was gorgeous and we still got a few miles in with the walk around the course. There are tons of trails to choose from within a short drive or walk, so no worries on variety. Overall, this has to be one of our favorite places that we have visited in the past few years. If you are looking for a place to stay in the area, Whispering Oaks is a wonderful choice.

These lovely accommodations are located right on the University of Virginia campus. The rooms are…read morespacious and gracious and as comfortable as a guest room in a private residence. The view from my room overlooked the lawn where all sorts of activities take place, from folks walking dogs to groups posing for wedding party photos. The ground level entrance to the building features a lovely reading room stocked with plenty of newspapers, books and magazines. The room next door offers complimentary beverages and snacks and stocks a good library of brochures highlighting local sights. My room, located on the second floor, was accessible by an elevator and stairs. That level also has a large banquet room, a parlor with a beautiful piano and access to balconies overlooking the lawn. There is also a pantry stocked with breakfast items in the morning including yogurt, fruit bars and cereal. And plenty of coffee (plus coffee makers are in the rooms). Guest can opt for daily maintenance of their rooms to have beds made, towels replaced and the basket of personal care amenities replenished. The desk and free wi-fi made it easy to handle emails and other tasks in the privacy of my room. And the large closet and full-sized dresser amply accommodated my wardrobe. A real highlight for me was the chance to spend mornings jogging around this beautiful campus or strolling over to the collection of boutiques, coffee shops and dining spots that border one end of the university. There were also nearby bikes that could be rented for a cycling excursion as well. A nighttime stroll included a stop at a nearby room in a separate building where Edgar Allan Poe once lived and worked when he attended classes here. The location provided a perfect hub for exploring the area's weekend farmers' market, nearby wineries and scenic hiking spots and historic landmarks. The Colonnade Club is definitely worthy of being on the college honor roll!

There was a vast amount of outdoor space in the deck with a BBQ, bench, and an area outside for a fire pit. I highly recommend staying at the Hideaway and will DEFINITELY be staying again!
