I got there a bit late, so I didn’t enjoy Fairhaven as long as I would’ve liked. It was too cold to enjoy their outdoor patio area and thats not anything they could help. The only other thing I can say I didn't like was this survey forcing me to write three sentences about something that I didn't like.

Lovely hosts, loved that its Green Certified. Yummy, local organic: coffee, eggs, bread, etc. And wonderful art available to purchase.

No tv, if that matters to you. No problem for us.

Location: walking distance to downtown mall, breweries, restaurants; quiet neighborhood Hosts: so friendly and accommodating Breakfast food: DIY toast, eggs, oatmeal, coffee, creamers, fruit. Delish, local, organic Bedroom: we had the largest one, so comfortable for a couple. Comfortable bed. Bath: only one, but it wasn't a problem. Hosts provide body wash, shampoo, conditioner Would stay again!

A little far for walking quickly to the University of Virginia. About a 20 minute walk to the heart of Charlottesville.

Everything was exactly as advertised. Lots of space (living room, kitchen). Raven and Flame were very gracious hosts. Their living space is separate. Street parking readily available.

I can’t think of anything negative to say!

The hosts were exceptionally kind, considerate and thoughtful down to the smallest details. We felt very much at home and comfortable with their earth friendly and people friendly accommodations.

If you're not ready to share a bathroom with other guests, this might not be for you.

Raven and Flame are such nice people. They made us feel welcome and comfortable right away. It was nice to have the common areas and porch to enjoy, and we really appreciated how committed they were to composting and recycling.

We wold have liked to stay longer:):) our fault, tho, haha

The breakfast options were great! We appreciated the focus on local, organic foods. The location was quiet and easy to find. The other unexpectedly wonderful details were the aspects of earth-friendly, sustainable living practices that the hosts advocate and apply practically—composting, reusable kitchen towels and napkins (e.g., no paper towels). The variety of teas and coffees and brewing methods were plentiful!

The Fairhaven Guesthouse is one of the best choices I have made this year. Raven and his wife are extremely professional, understanding, and accomodating. They both waited for me until11:00PM to welcome me in the Guesthouse. They showed me the house and told me I could help myself out with the different fruit, the egg, and bread that was in the kitchen. The bathroom is really clean, the towels are clean and "fluffy", and the bad was comfortable. I first thought the great reviews were an inside job or "manufactured" before booking the night. Surprisingly, those reviews were authentic and really. So, don't hesitate to book your stay. In fact, I felt bad leaving so early the next day because I had to be somewhere early in the morning. Oh by the way, the Wifi password will give you the rationale for going back.

The host's professionalism, understanding, and great hospitality. Everything in the house is clean and organized. A few minutes away from the highway and restaurants.

Nice cozy place. We highly recommend this place for people who would like to stay in a guest house. The owners were very friendly and open minded. The food for breakfast were organic!

They could have been more conversational but it was obvious they didn’t have time to interact with me. The floors made noise and walls thin as paper. The bathroom was shared.. when guest rooms are totally full it would be a disaster for anyone on a morning schedule.. you would share one bathroom with potentially six people. Not good .. plus… the scornful looks from another guest who happened to be one of the hosts’ older sister .. said it all. They wanted my money for doing a really small amount of hosting. There was also confusion as to my arrival time. Yes I came earlier than originally planned but I let them know ahead of time. And plus I still honored the check in time of 4:00pm. Also.. don’t say in an info message that you offer to pick a guest up from the train station for a small charge if you don’t really do it.

For the price I paid .. breakfast was not that great.

At first glance we were skeptical but didn't have much time to judge at first, but as we waited briefly for the host to respond to a text announcing our arrival that eventually came almost 20 min later, we were able to see that it may not be as suitable as we thought... I get the vibe the hosts and place eludes to, and again we did not enter the property, but when its 85 degrees plus outside the windows of the entire property did not need to be open. It was hot that day! That was somewhat concerning, however we still waited a few more minutes thinking we should but had already decided not to stay.

When we arrived the host was not at the property upon our previously stated time for arrival. Proper notification was given almost a day prior, even that day I had asked to arrive earlier than 4pm due to plans, possibly there was a miscommunication, I do not know and unfortunately we had an engagement early evening we still had to get ready for which was also mentioned in our arrival inquiry to the host. So we not did we have any time to waste, but luckily and quickly was able to rent elsewhere.

I wouldn't refer to this as an Inn. Essentially, it is a house with the bedrooms being rented out. A couple who own/ manage the property live on the floor below. The bedroom nor the common living spaces had a TV. And the next morning, if you wanted breakfast, you would fix it yourself from their supplies and then wash your dishes. Again, not what I expect in an Inn. This is more like a private room hostel. Lastly, be aware that the location is a residential one removed from the main dt area. You would have to drive to any shops or eateries.

Street parking was readily accessible.Couple who managed the priperty also seemed eager to share info to make your visit a good one. Room was a good size. I just stayed the one night.

Immediately when entering the house, I was hit with a strong musty odor that lasted until I departed. But everything else seemed okay accept the bedroom lighting was really dim. Then I used the bathroom and seen ants crawling on the back of the toilet tank & floor. So disturbing that I wished I had cotton balls to stuff into my ears because after seeing that i had the fear of ants crawling on me as I slept. I would have slept in my car if it wasn't brutally cold that night.

The location was perfect for my needs. My time of arrival was off by 1-2 hours and the host was very understanding. There were lots of information on the local activities and things to do & see. There were lots of organic food options for self serve breakfast if that's your thing. The host was wonderful, very friendly and informative about the area.

The stress in our room was too soft for us and our creaky backs. Made sleep less than easy.

The hosts were great -- friendly and eager to please

Bathroom was dirty. Owners could easily clean the doors and floors. Awakened early at 6 am to owners use of marijuana which came through the vent. They tried to blame others.
