November may just be the best time to visit Charlottesville. The secret is the art of the unhurried getaway.
While Charlottesville is known for bustling vineyards and panoramic hikes, we want you to slow down and do absolutely nothing! Put your keys away and enjoy a slow luxurious day right here on our 100 acres!
Wake up without an alarm clock, listen to the early morning rustle of leaves and sip on a warm cup of fresh espresso curled up in your Clifton robes. No breakfast rush here!
Amble down to the Veranda for a leisurely breakfast. The chill of the morning may call you to our bacon, egg and cheese on a fresh croissant or our French omelet with breakfast potatoes. Delish. Now that the leaves are almost gone, take in the views of the farmland, mountains and Monticello in the distance.
After breakfast bundle up in your favorite sweater and take a quiet walk along our Lolly’s Loop trail. You will wind along the Rivanna River and descend upon Lake Arabella. Take some time to relax on the dock, breath in the crisp air while taking in the views of the trees reflecting on the water.
After lunch grab your favorite book and spend some time cuddled up in front of our fireplace. As the sun begins to set by 5pm, order a cocktail at our Copper Bar and watch the sun go down over the mountains out back. It’s one of the prettiest in the C’ville!
Dinner at will be unforgettable at our 1799 Restaurant. Our culinary team has put together an incredible menu rich in flavors from nearby farms and pair it with a robust Virginia red wine.
Before heading to bed, step outside and enjoy sitting by our firepit for stargazing and maybe a s’more or two if you still have room!
Cheers,
Ann
