Blue Mountain Haven: 5 BR Hilltop Country Retreat

Blue Mountain Haven is a 5 bedroom, 4 bath country retreat located between Charlottesville and Crozet in the coveted Ivy neighborhood. A great central location for a weekend getaway to the Charlottesville area. Sitting on top of a hill with beautiful views of the Blueridge, it provides all of the peace and quiet you could want, yet only about 20 minutes to Downtown Charlottesville, UVA, and nearby vineyards and breweries.
The home was custom-built with beautiful slate, stone and wood in the 1970's, yet has been updated with modern amenities and appliances as well as has a solar /battery/generator backup system. The 5.5 acre grounds offer walking/biking trails, beautiful gardens and amazing mountain views.
Blue Mountain Haven has a peaceful and spacious feel throughout, with modern furnishings and decor that reflect over 20 years of the owners' living and working across Asia and the Pacific region.

Stunning getaway home
What a beautiful home. Easily accessible but just far enough away from downtown vibes. The house is decorated beautifully and the views are stunning.

Lovely beyond description.
As beautiful as are the photos online, they don't come close to the experience of the house itself. The rooms are even larger than they look online and flow into one another. The architecture and furnishings are graceful and luxurious. The decor is Tibetan and Southeast Asian throughout, and it is evident that the owners have lived there. Above all, the owners appear to have taken care to welcome us as their guests. A major attraction, outside of the house itself, is the proximity to Shenandoah National Park and the Skyline Drive. The walking was spectacular.

Beautiful venue
What a beautiful place for 8 adults and a child to reunite for a long weekend! The house is lovely with a great kitchen. The wooded property offers some short trails to wander; ample space for us to gather and spread. Host services were very responsive to a minor plumbing issue too (quickly handled). Thanks so much!

Great reunion retreat!
The spaciousness of the house and grounds was perfect for the five of us. There were a couple of small issues: carpenter ants in one of the downstairs bedrooms, and floor heating in the same bedroom made it impossible to stay in that room. I would like to communicate directly with either the property manager or the owner to discuss another matter. Overall, we had a positive experience.

Blue Ridge Stay
Views were beautiful and the house was very clean. Loved the small touches in the home that make it inviting. Plenty of room for the family and the house has all the amenities! Recommend arriving during the day for the first drive just because roads are a little windy. Drew was great and provided alternate solutions when I thought the dryer wasn’t working. Drew was quick to respond when I had questions. My family made some good memories sitting in the kitchen in the morning drinking coffee and enjoying the views.
