Looking for an escape from stress? We are accepting bookings! Your self-contained, pre-sanitized rural wooded retreat is close to Shenandoah National Park, trails, lakes, rivers, Charlottesville, and CHO airport.
Over 700 sq ft. Your separate patio entrance faces a beautiful gazebo with a hot tub, separate deck & Tiki bar. Pool table, 50"TV with Chromecast, Wifi, Kitchenette, Full Bath, queen bed in the bedroom, queen foam floor mattress main room, couch.
The space
PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING.
You will have the entire basement living area to yourself. Owner lives on the property full time upstairs. There is a separate bedroom with brand new Queen sized mattress on a four-poster bed, full bath, and a large living area complete with a pool table, and big screen TV If you need two beds, we have a very comfortable Queen-sized memory foam folding mattress that doubles as a sitting area near the pool table.
Please note, we have a kitchenette, not a full-sized kitchen. The bar sink is not for use. We do not have a full-sized stove or oven. You will have access to a small toaster oven, a microwave, a coffee maker, a water filter filled for your use, and a small fridge/freezer. Paper plates and plastic cups and flatware are provided, no pots and pans. Please plan accordingly.
Please note we can NOT accommodate your pets. We are also not set up for very small children, and the suite is not child-proof.
We do have two large (very friendly dogs) that you may see on the property, however, they will not have access to your space during your visit.
Board games, Wifi, Chromecast, a DVD library, and 50" screen to watch them on are available if you want to stay in. Our property is located on 4 acres of woods, your apartment faces the gazebo and the woods. We even provide a yoga mat for yoga on the gazebo or inside. The gazebo and hot tub are reserved for your exclusive use during your stay.
If you are staying with us for longer than three nights and need fresh towels, we are happy to provide them. We provide two towels per guest for each stay. Otherwise, please use the towels provided and hang them up to dry on the various hooks and racks available (not the furniture, please).
We also have a mini fridge, a microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker and filtered water .in addition to snacks and drinks. There is an outdoor charcoal grill available for your use as well. The bar sink is not available for use. We provide disposable dishes and flatware, as well as coffee cups for hot drinks.
To get to the suite, there is a gently sloping path with steps descending behind the house. Just FYI. It is clearly lit at night but might be a problem for anyone with serious mobility issues.
We welcome children but want them to be under adult supervision at all times for safety reasons. We do not provide baby proofing, gates, or cribs. There are stairs (not to access your space, but in or near your apartment).
Guest access
Your space is self-contained with your own access through the sliding glass door that can be locked from the inside. You will have exclusive access to the gazebo with the tiki bar and the large hot tub. We also provide robes and extra towels for you to enjoy the hot tub.
Our driveway is paved and your spot is reserved up front. Please let us know ahead of your visit if you are plan on parking more than one car. We also request you tell us at the time of booking the first names of all the people who will be staying.
Other things to note
Our home is located on four wooded acres. We do have wildlife on the property, deer, squirrels, foxes, raccoons, the occasional skunk, toads, spiders, etc. During warmer months we strongly suggest you use the mosquito repellent provided if you spend time in the gazebo.
Our dogs love to meet our guests! They do enjoy running around the property so you will likely see them around. We lock them upstairs when we leave the property.
Frequently Asked Questions:- PLEASE READ
Q: Can I get an early check-in/ late check-out?
A: We personally clean and prepare our space for each guest's arrival. In order to ensure we have sufficient time to prepare for our next guest, including laundry that may need to be done, we don't accept early check-ins or late checkouts. If there is an emergency, please let us know.
Q: Can my family and friends spend the night during my stay?
A: We don't have an issue with family members or friends coming by for a visit (within reason, we are not set up for parties or events), we do ask that if your family member or friends stay that you include them in the booking. Please remember you are staying in our home, not a commercial property. This is also the reason we request the first name of every guest that will be staying.
Q: My dog is friendly and well-behaved. Can you make an exception to your no pet rule?
A: We love dogs, but Shadow Wood belongs to our resident dogs who are also not allowed in the guest area. This allows us to provide an allergy free environment for people allergic to pets.
Q: Why do you need to know the names of the people who are staying at Shadow Wood?
A: Staying at someone's home is a different experience than staying at a hotel, and while Airbnb hosts differ in terms of requirements, we like to know the first names of everyone who is staying in our home. We do greet all our guests upon arrival and try to personalize the experience for each and every guest that stays with us at Shadow Wood. Thank you for respecting this request when you book.
Q: Why can't I reserve for more than 4 people?
A: While the apartment is large, we have limitations in terms of linens, towels, and water usage. Our limit is four people.
Q: I love your dogs, why can't they come inside the apartment and cuddle?
A: Without a doubt, the dogs are great cuddlers. That being said, the reason we do not allow them into your space is that while they are cuddly, they are also big dogs that shed. A LOT. In order to provide our space to people who have allergies, and to keep the cleanliness quality our guests expect, they are not allowed in your space. No matter what they tell you.
Q: Will you change sheets and towels during my stay?
A: We provide each guest with a towel for the hot tub as well as a bath towel, washcloth, and a hand towel for all guests. If you are staying longer than three nights and would like fresh towels or sheets, please let us know. We do not clean your space while you are staying with us.

Less than 30 minutes to the entrance of Shenandoah National Park, Charlottesville is 20 minutes away. You can reach Downtown Charlottesville in 30 minutes or less. We live in a quiet rural neighborhood. Our property is located back from the road, so traffic noise is minimal. You might see (and hear) horses and sheep on the property across the street, and occasionally hear coyotes in the distance. The local grocery store and convenience store, along with several restaurants are four miles away.
We are also 15 minutes away from the small local airport, so you may hear the occasional plane flying overhead. There is a lovely park directly adjacent to the airport with a boating lake open for swimming and boat rentals in the summer, a fishing dock, and walking trails.

I love traveling, and Airbnb is my favorite way to travel. Some of my favorite destinations are the Florida Keys, Seattle WA, New Orleans, LA, and Annapolis MD. I have used Airbnb for trips to all these places, and love putting together dream lists of places I want to visit. My home base in Charlottesville VA is a wonderful place to live- we literally have it all, mountains, parks, and rivers, as well as a vibrant downtown with tons of great restaurants from just about any cuisine you can imagine. Add in the wineries and festivals, and it might be the perfect place for your next visit! Definitely check out the guidebook for suggestions, we are always updating it with feedback and requests from our guests. Welcome to Shadow Wood! Maria
