Luxury Stay on Flower Farm by Wineries Near Charlottesville-Pet-Friendly

Welcome to Maple Crest, its new landscaping and additional updates! If you're visiting UVA or Woodberry Forest, attending a wedding at Grelen, a local Garden Tour, the races at Montpellier; or if you simply enjoy wineries, craft beers, history, antiques, art and beautiful views and hikes at the heart of Virginia’s Piedmont... and want to bring Fido or Mittens along, then Maple Crest is perfect for you. In the Spring of 2025, Maple Crest became a flower farm and, with Grelen's Wedding Venues around the corner, Maple Crest is a perfect place to get ready and cut and arrange your own flower bouquets. Inquire ahead for flower availability. This c.1929 home has been thoroughly renovated. The eat-in kitchen is bright and spacious with quartz countertops and new appliances. A cheerful nook is a great place to catch up on emails while you enjoy the birds on the feeder just inches from your seat. There is a half bath on the first floor along with a large living room with a fireplace and a bright sunroom that has eastern and western views. A perfect room for an intimate chat or a deep dive into a good book. There are three bedrooms (one in suite) and two full baths upstairs. The hall bath has an antique clawfoot tub with a shower and the primary bath has a walk-in shower. There is a good utility basement with a washer, dryer, and sink. The house is wonderfully sunny and bright. There are lovely views of surrounding mountains and farms from every room. You'll enjoy sunsets from the front porch and sunrises from the back if you choose to rise early. The front yard is bounded by mature boxwoods offering privacy and a fabulous lawn for croquet. The backyard is fenced with plenty of room for you and your canine friends to romp and play. Behind the backyard is an acre of fenced pasture ideal for field sports and for gathering fresh veggies and flowers in season. If you enjoy the sounds of chickens, (next door), crickets, tree frogs, and the sounds of trains (surprisingly exciting!), and appreciate being surrounded by farms and farmers within scant minutes of important historic sites and some great wineries, we think you'll enjoy being our guests at Maple Crest. ARE YOU PLANNING A SMALL EVENT? We'd love to help you host/cater events, such as rehearsal dinners, birthday parties, bridal luncheons, sunset cocktail gatherings, and local "chef's-table" dinner experiences. Please, ask us about this! Happy stay!

We would give this house 10 stars if we could! Everything about our stay was truly impeccable. From the moment we walked through the door, the house felt like a home, not just a rental. Owners John and Gaby (who we had the chance to meet at the Montpelier Hunt Races - they are lovely) have thought of every detail, from the careful labeling which took all of the guesswork out of finding which light switch to use or which drawer contained which utensil, to the thoughtful and tasteful design. The mattress was so comfortable we actually took a photo of the label. A great home in a great location. We cannot recommend this place more highly (and we have stayed at a lot of rentals both in the Shenandoah Valley and worldwide). We will definitely plan to stay here again in the future and will recommend it widely.

This home is every bit as beautiful in person as it is in the pictures online. Perhaps even more so. It is super clean and very well stocked. It is decorated very tastefully and you just feel at home as soon as you walk in the door. The owner even put fresh cut flowers throughout the house for us, which was such a lovely touch.The kitchen appliances are excellent and we had everything that we needed. The owner has thoughtfully put labels around the house anywhere you might need to figure out where things are kept, or how something might operate. That thoughtful touch eliminated many of our questions and helped make staying there really easy and such a pleasure. The yard is r landscaped beautifully, and the house faces West where the sun sets over the mountains. The fact that it’s dog friendly with the nicest fenced dog yard was such a blessing for us. Everything about this home was perfect for our family of six to enjoy. I included a few pictures of the setting so you can see how pretty it is.

We stayed here for the wedding of our daughter, which took place at the nearby Market at Grelen. We had a fantastic experience--everything we needed was here, including space for our dogs to run around safely. The hosts could not have been more gracious and the communication was excellent. We stay a many VRBO properties and I have never seen one so well appointed. We were able to have the family over for dinner and everyone fit around the table with matching plates! The area is peaceful and gorgeous--sunrises while sitting in the sunroom start your day off right. Beds are comfy and plenty of towels and pillows. A true home away from home. The area has lots of breweries and wineries and the town of Orange has some quaint spots. For a quick getaway from NOVA to unplug and refresh--I would highly recommend. And if you are doing a wedding at Grelen--you cannot get more convenient. 2 minute drive.

Perfect Hunt Country House

This was truly one of the most delightful VRBO stays we have ever had. The home is nearly 100 years old and has been updated perfectly to retain its original charm while offering just the right dose of bright, modern touches. Sunlight streams in freely through the plentiful windows offering beautiful views of the surrounding Virginia countryside and mountains. A spacious pup yard for the dog was much appreciated. A lovely and well equipped kitchen, spacious bedrooms, and super comfortable beds were just part of our experience. Every unique detail added to our enjoyment. We only wish we could have stayed longer! About 15 minutes to Orange where you'll find all of your in town conveniences including fine dining, 20 mins to Woodberry Forest and about the same to Montpelier where we attended the annual Hunt Race. The Owners were generous, thoughtful and easy to communicate with. All in all a perfect fall weekend in the Virginia Piedmont with plenty of credit given to the accommodations!

Vintage Charm, Modern Convenience, Perfect Location

Maple Crest is a beautifully restored home built in 1929, with a gourmet kitchen, updated bathrooms, and beautiful decor. Plus it has dedicated fiber optic internet/WiFi, and is dog friendly! Our family stayed for a holiday getaway trip, and the home was tastefully decorated for Christmas with ornaments, poinsettias, mistletoe, and wreaths that were perfect for the time period of the house. Our Golden Russell, Leo, loved running around the field behind the house and appreciated the large water bowl waiting on him in the kitchen. Because I love to cook, I thoroughly enjoyed the fully equipped kitchen, and my family loved the little breakfast nook and watching the birds just outside the window on the feeder. Relaxing with a warm drink by the fireplace and the light of the Christmas tree was magical. The comfortable beds and furniture blend with, and do not detract from Maple Crest's historic charm. Maple Crest is also convenient to many cultural and historical points of interest - President James Madison's Montpelier is only a short drive, and Thomas Jefferson's Monticello is less than 30 minutes away. There are multiple wineries, craft breweries, and unique shops in the surrounding small towns. Our trip was unfortunately cut short due to matters at home - but we definitely hope to come back and visit Maple Crest again - thank you John & Gaby!

August at Maple Crest was a fantastic experience: wonderful house and property, hosts, location

I stayed at Maple Crest with my daughter and her two dogs for 5 weeks this summer. It was terrific. The house is wonderful - fully equipped with everything you can think of and/or need. It is bright and cheerful. The property is beautiful and our dogs loved the fenced - in yard. Loved the tomatoes and eggplant from the garden!! Gaby and John are so friendly and the most responsive hosts I have ever had. Every detail was attended to - I was working from the house for the month of August and they even set up a work space for me in the house. The house is well located - close to Orange, Gordonsville and Charlottesville. We visited 2 wineries, Montpelier, loved Grelin Market/Nursery (and walks with the dogs), Monticello and more. I can't say enough about this house, property and the hosts. I hope to be back in the future. Hats off to Gaby and John for a first-class experience!
