It is a peaceful and quiet mountain top retreat in the forest of the Southwest Mountains of piedmont Virginia. There is a large sitting room with a fireplace, and a kitchen in both houses. Each is filled with books and antiques. A patio with a small swimming pool and a hot tub are just outside. You are served a full breakfast.
Children are welcome.
Sunset Mountain is a unique, luxurious hideaway tucked in the mountains surrounding Jefferson's Monticello, and graced with privacy, outstanding hospitality and simply wonderful breakfasts that could rival any 5 Star hotel. My husband and I have been visiting for a number of years now, and can vouch for the constant quality of food, housekeeping and graciousness of the hosts, Dennis Woodriff and Mary Ann Parr. The 2 lodges surround a pool and hot tub area in the midst of a woodland host to a myriad of wildlife, and both have log burning fireplaces, complete kitchens, and all the electronic diversions to satisfy those who require their TV and other diversions. Sunset Mountain is unique because of its compelling mix of understated elegance and rustic ambience, and the gourmet breakfasts are some of the best that we have ever had. We have travelled a lot in the world, and throughout the U.S. and this is simply one of the sophisticated yet relaxed and utterly charming places we've ever stayed, and to which we return as often as we can.
