    The A/C didn't seem to blow in our room as well as it did in the rest of the house, so it got pretty warm in the bedroom with the door closed, even though it felt fine elsewhere.

    The hosts were very kind, the house was walkable to everything we wanted to do in town, and the food provided took care of our breakfast each morning.

    Everything was perfect for our stay!!!!!

    Both hosts were so accommodating and went above and beyond expectations for our stay. From the moment we booked, they were communicative and wanted to ensure that we had the best and most comfortable time staying at their accommodation. It really felt like we were visiting friends or family more than just a house we were staying in. The home was clean and very cool to look around in might I add! We will for sure be coming back.

    It is a bit of a distance (maybe a mile) outside Charlottesville town centre but I knew that in advance and it is not a difficult walk,

    Fairhaven is a lovely and very friendly place to stay, I liked especially the relaxed atmosphere eg the option to make one's breakfast with access to good facilities. Its emphasis on sustainability is great.

    The location is great – within walking distance of the city center. We felt at home as soon as we arrived. Raven and Flame were very friendly and helpful. In particular we loved: the commitment to being environmentally responsible and the possibility to fix your own (delicious) breakfast at your own time.

    This isn't really a complaint, but an observation. I am used to sleeping on a firm mattress, so the bed felt too soft to me.

    The breakfast food was wholesome and organic. The toiletries were all fragrance-free ;-). The location was quiet with easy access to downtown and the interstate. The hosts were welcoming and helpful.

    There’s only one thing I didn’t like: Sound carries easily through the vents, so while the guesthouse on the top floor is visually quite separate from the hosts’ home on the bottom floor, we can still hear each other. At least I assume the hosts can hear from downstairs. I could make out conversations at times. I could tell my room (the Tidewater) was above the kitchen, for example. I couldn’t hear anything after 10 PM, it should be said.

    Everything was clean and comfortable — bedroom, sitting room, kitchen table, shower. I appreciated that the hosts buy local and/or organic foods and that quiet hours are maintained. The art, the cheerful colors, and the many plants are also nice. Also, Flame was organized wrt arrival time and check-in process. Location was great, a quiet residential neighborhood with a bus stop very close to the house and the downtown mall just a half-hour walk away (or a very short bus ride).

    Flame & Raven are lovely people , and the rooms in their home are comfortable. Checkin was easy. We were shown around by Flame, who gave us information about getting downtown. You have the use of a very clean, well equipped kitchen, a comfortable dining room, and a living area. Breakfast is provided for you to cook yourself. The bread and peach jam were particularly nice. The owners are very keen on being environmentally friendly, which we very much appreciate.

    We absolutely loved everything so there's nothing I can say that we didn't like.

    This place is fantastic it's like being in your own home but being taken care of the atmosphere is great you can sit out on the back porch which is screened in or you can go out in the yard you can play games you can look at paintings that Flame has done and other stuff that she does you can get a massage ( extra cost )you can do all kinds of stuff these two guys are great Flame and Raven are very friendly, welcoming, kind and gracious really concerned about your comfort and how your stay is I would recommend this place so much every time we are in town this is where we stay and you should too Flame is the Lady of the house and Raven is the Gentlemen of the house ( just an FYI ).

    This was an excellent and enjoyable stay and made my first visit to Charlottesville a pleasant one.

    The bus to the Downtown Transit station (for downtown and the University of Virginia) and for the Monticello Trail only goes once an hour. However, with good planning this is perfectly manageable.

    Exceptionally clean and comfortable, in a quiet location easily accessible by bus from downtown and the Monticello trail. The hosts were very welcoming and super helpful and are just downstairs if you need any assistance. Plentiful varieties of tea and coffee available in the well-equipped, clean, and well-ordered kitchen. Holly's Diner and Firefly provided warm and lively evening entertainment and good food within easy walking distance. I would heartily recommend for a stay in Charlottesville!
