Stonemont Farm Cottage

About

Newly renovated cottage in Keswick, Virginia nestled into the hillside of a historic 170-acre farm that was originally part of a land grant belonging to the father of the famed explorer Meriwether Lewis. This 3 bed, 2 bath cottage sleeps up to 10 people (including on 2 sofa beds) and features special amenities including a fire pit and a hot tub (coming Winter 2025) provides an country retreat for your next Charlottesville getaway. In the heart of the Southwest mountain range you'll be situated next to some of the area's top and only 25 minutes from downtown Charlottesville. Stonemont Cottage is perfect for enjoying a relaxing weekend while being a short drive to nearby vineyards and cideries including Barboursville Vineyards, Castle Hill Cider, Keswick Hall, Keswick Vineyards, Merrie Mill, and Southwest Mountains Vineyards. 

The front door of the cottage welcomes you into a sitting room with a beautiful bay window and pull-out sofa bed. This upper level also features 2 bedrooms with Queen sized beds, a full bath, dining room, laundry, full kitchen, and access to a large balcony with views of the private pond. The stairs off the kitchen take you to the lower level that has a second large living room with a second sofa bed, a large sized corner desk for working from home, a third Queen bedroom, a full bath, a second laundry, and second kitchen! The split arrangement of the cottage into an upper living space and downstairs suite, each with its own separate access but connected by stairs, makes it ideally suited for a family or group who wants to enjoy time together while having the option for privacy.

Walk out the back door to enjoy the fishing pond, grill, fire pit, outdoor dining table, and lawn generous lawn area. We're looking forward to adding a Hot Tub in Winter 2025! 

This property is ideally located in the Keswick area, a highly desirable equestrian and wine country getaway with nearby access to top destinations like Keswick Hall, Gordonsville, and Montpelier. You're also just 13 miles from downtown Charlottesville, the University of Virginia, and Monticello. With sleeping arrangements for up to 14 between the Cottage and Cabin, this property is a perfect home base for a wedding weekend, family reunion, or getaway with family and friends. The back roads are a favorite for cyclists, and the Southwest Mountains’ nearby hiking trails are renowned among birdwatchers.

Surrounded by trees and hillside, guests at the Cottage will enjoy privacy. However, Stonemont Farm Cabin is just around the bend. Larger groups can reserve both the Cottage and Cabin for an adjacent getaway (up to 14 guests total).
