The property is ideally located to explore Monticello, Univ of VA, Charlottsville & surrounding sites. The apartment could not be cleaner or better appointed with all the kitchen and bath items that make a stay comfortable. Our biggest ‘dislikes’ were that the rather narrow and steep(ish) steps into this basement apartment because they are difficult to navigate if you have balance issues (especially when lugging suitcases), there was a damp, lingering basement odor and no windows. If these things don’t bother you, it’s a great value, convenient location and comfortable.

Clean enough. Located in basement, damp & smelled musty. Also some fruit flies in the space. Open chip bags, & items in fridge. Great shower area. Suggest airing the space and turning on dehumidifier 24 hours prior to occupancy and timely cleaning post checkout.

Our stay at the Pond House was wonderful! We were in the area for a wedding and the cozy apartment was perfect for our time away from home. The Pond House was equipped with everything we needed and it was sparkling clean. The neighborhood was quiet and five minutes from the airport. We couldn’t have had a better stay.

This is a sweet little studio style apartment that suited us quite well. It is in the basement. It was very comfortable for my husband and me and the location was perfect for visiting family in the area. Quick drive to Charlottesville and surrounding areas.John was very hospitable and quick to respond to any request requests. We will keep this place in mind for future visits.

Exceeded My Expectations

I booked this place as a temporary place to sleep during my first couple weeks of work before permanently moving, so I really didn’t need much. Instead of just a place to sleep for a few nights, I got a place that felt like it could be home with a fully stocked kitchen, beautiful bathroom, and cozy floor plan that made me feel instantly relaxed. Not to mention an excellent selection of complimentary movies. If this place was available to rent, I wouldn’t hesitate to sign a lease. Loved my stay.

Nice area and conveniently located near Shenandoah National Park. The downstairs apartment was very clean and quiet except for the footsteps we heard past midnight every night (which didn’t really bother us because we are night owls). We had everything we needed for preparing meals, but we did struggle a little bit with the mini fridge and used coolers as back up. Overall, a nice place to stay and we would definitely consider staying there again if we are back in the area.

Basement apartment

Overall I am pleased with my stay. The location was very close to the airport and convenient to Charlottesville and the Shenandoah National Forest. Space was ample for one person or a couple. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes and necessities. Lots of clean towels and linens. It is a basement apartment so it is damp and musty which is to be expected in a basement. The footsteps overhead are quite loud but otherwise it is a quiet location. Stairs outside are a little steep and it is not wheelchair accessible.

Great little spot!

Great accomodations for 2 people with the spacious open concept floor plan. Will definitely book again as the price and location were great for us. As per other reviews, we heard footsteps a couple of times, but nothing that annoyed us. In fact, we let out a cheer watching the hockey game which they definitely heard, and realizing how loud we were, went into quiet mode the rest of the stay. Super friendly hosts.
