About this property

Hometract Cottage, Historic Property, UVA/Charlottesville/Ivy

  • Hometract Cottage is a historic one bedroom home (NRHP, circa 1800) centrally located 15 minutes or less from downtown Charlottesville, UVA, Crozet, Monticello, wineries and more. The cottage features king size bed, ensuite bath, fully stocked kitchen, living/workspace with comfortable sleeper sofa, mature landscaping for privacy, and covered front porch. Hometract is a quiet 3-acre property with terraced garden views. Visit our chicken coop, relax in the hammock, or walk to the garden shop or Duner's restaurant.

    Hometract is located in historic Ivy, a rural area characterized by mature forests and rolling hills. We have the privacy of a rural area with few neighbors but also easy access to I-64 & Rt. 250 putting Crozet, Ivy, Charlottesville, Monticello, Keswick, and more all within easy reach. We are walkable to the Ivy Corner Garden and Gift Shop, local favorite Duner's Restaurant, and the Wine & Country gift shop. Boars Head Resort is only 5 minutes down the road with its golf course, restaurants, spa, and music and events. The Foxfield Races are only 10 minutes away.

    Road cyclists can enjoy the popular Dick Woods Taylor Gap route passing right past Hometract's entrance.

    Enjoy the best spirits that Charlottesville has to offer with Ragged Branch Distillery a few minutes away, and Potters Craft Cider, Starr Brewery, and more than a dozen wineries all within 15 minutes.

This is a delightful and very well appointed accommodation. We loved the location, halfway between Crozet and Charlottesville, which was perfectly convenient for graduation activities and events. Much to my husband’s delight, the welcome gift included chocolate!Absolutely everything we needed for six nights was at the cottage, easy parking and a serene and peaceful retreat after the craziness of graduation. This will definitely be our new “go to” accommodation when we visit our daughter and family in Crozet. Thank you to the proprietors for providing a lovely retreat.Cheers!

A wonderfully charming cottage with all the comforts of home. On a National historical site registry property, the nostalgic centuries old wood fragrance, combined with modern amenities, and an extremely comfortable king bed. The perfectly romantic hideaway to celebrate our anniversary. Not quite as secluded as we expected, but certainly private enough and very respectful owners that live in the main house.

Parents' weekend visit

This was the perfect place to stay for parents' weekend. It was a short drive to UVA campus. The beautiful living room and cozy kitchen enabled us to relax and visit in a comfortable environment. We loved the quiet, country setting and particularly enjoyed the view of the Milky Way at night and visiting with the hens during the day.

Cozy, charming, serene setting —15 minutes from Charlottesville but a world away. Nicely furnished with a well equipped kitchen in a cottage on the National Register of Historic places, c. 1800. The hosts were welcoming and communicative. I couldn’t have asked for more!
