    Lovely room with shared bathroom in a cute house near downtown.
    • Business trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Queen Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    I had hoped to do a zoom presentation for work in my room, but there unfortunately isn't much of a desk set up in the guest rooms. They're comfy enough, and as I said, you can work from other parts of the house, but if you need some privacy while doing so it may not work out.

    Faster wifi than you'd get at a generic hotel, cute home with nice people, lovely B&B like options and a focus on sustainable materials (and very high quality coffee provided!). Lovely common areas for working if that will work for you, relatively close to downtown but a little to far to walk (but short drive, also short drive to a lovely river walk!).

    It is not what I didn’t like (actually I liked it), but not TV in the room.

    Family-like home, cosy and comfortable. If you like meeting and talking to new people, the place is for you. Nice, comfortable, peaceful. Everything is close. Coffee is amazing :)

    The hosts were super nice, we felt very much welcomed! Loved all the art in the house, which was made by the host. They had local organic products in the fridge for breakfast, and such as eggs and fruits! Comfy beds, the rooms were clean and colourful. You share the B&B with two other rooms, which was fine, no traffic in the bathroom ;).

    Nothing, it was great!

    You can tell that Flame and Raven have been hosting for a while, they have everything absolutely sorted! The guesthouse is equipped with anything you might need, and most things are plastic free and planet friendly which was a great bonus. We loved the space, the self-service very generous breakfast and the super quick response time. We would love to stay again if we come back to Virginia!

    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.

    Although I only stayed one night my stay at Fairhaven and the warm welcome I received was great.

    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.
