We had to walk past one of the main dining rooms to get to our room upstairs but keep in mind it is a very old and historic inn. We had the Shearer room and it was very clean and welcoming. There is a gas fireplace when you walk in and it was putting out the heat! Then we walked back into the bedroom and the bed was very comfortable. The sheets were soft and bed was nice. There is no TV but there is Wi-Fi. All in all we had a good experience. The breakfast was delicious! I had the pancakes and the bacon which both were excellent.

We worked with the owner to book a date, told her how important the date we chose was, and she…read morewouldn't send a contract. On the day of meeting to see the venue, literally 30 minutes before the meeting, she sent my fiancé an email and said someone else already booked our date. When I asked how that's possible without viewing the venue, she stated that you can pay by PayPal, checks, over the phone, etc. when I asked why I wasn't given these options to secure my date, I was told my fiancé didn't want to book and pay for anything until we saw the venue, which was the complete opposite of the emails my fiancé sent her. In hindsight, We went by the venue and it didn't look like the photos on the website did. It looked a lot smaller, and everything is set up in a little portion of the front yard. The decorations looked run down due to weather. I would NOT RECOMMEND booking here. Edit: Since posting this review, I've received about 10 emails and 17 missed calls from the owner. The latest email stated that if I do not take this negative review down, they'll have no choice to sue both myself and my fiancé. Again, please do yourself a favor and keep looking for a different venue. Orange is beautiful, and there are a lot more venues there that are beautiful.

My husband and I stumbled on the Greenock manor while looking for a last minute romantic getaway in…read moreCharlottesville, and though it was a little off the beaten path in Orange, we thought we'd give it a try. Wow, we were glad we did!! From the time we booked, the owner, Chanel, texted us to ask when we would arrive, and offered restaurant recommendations. When we arrived, she made us feel special and welcome with a "special parking spot"- which was under a covered area and great because it provided us cover from the rain while unpacking our car. We stayed in the honeymoon suite and were pleasantly surprised that the room and gorgeous bathroom looked even better in person than the pics online. Chanel was the right mix of attentive while still giving us lots of privacy. We really enjoyed this lovely manor, and you can tell a lot of love has gone into making it. Highly recommended for a cozy romantic getaway!

Details like coffee and tea anytime, filling and fancy breakfasts with choice ingredients, all homemade, and an abundance of flora and fauna to enjoy made it a bespoke, boutique experience.

My mom and I spent four nights at Glass House Winery & Brewery for a mother-daughter trip around…read moreCharlottesville, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our entire trip. Glass House is in Free Union, about 20 minutes outside downtown Charlottesville. The location was perfect because it felt peaceful and tucked away in the country, while still being close enough to explore Charlottesville, Crozet, wineries, orchards and hiking. The hospitality was what really made the stay special. Kristin, the chef at the B&B, is incredibly warm and welcoming, and breakfast at 9 AM each morning was something we genuinely looked forward to. She personalized meals around our likes and dislikes and used fresh, local ingredients. During our stay we had blueberry ricotta pancakes, peach and Brie cinnamon bread pudding, latkes with breakfast meats, and an egg quiche with sausage and vegetables. There was also yogurt, fresh fruit, smoothies and coffee available throughout the day. The B&B has a very personal feel, with cookbooks throughout the house, unique Nicaraguan tropical decor and themed rooms such as the Chocolate Room, Wine Room and Under the Stars Suite. The bedding was comfortable, with both communal spaces and areas where you could have some privacy. The attention to detail was wonderful. We had a chocolate surprise, and a complimentary glass at the winery for being guests. I'm not much of a sweets person, but the chocolates were somehow exactly what I wanted all weekend, especially with a glass of wine. You can also purchase bottles and chocolates after hours, and they recently launched a wine club. I also really liked that the owner is actually around the property and winery. He was happy to answer questions, talk about the area and share the history of the vineyard, which made the experience feel much more personal. The winery is about a five-minute walk from the B&B and is open Wednesday through Sunday. The glass house itself is beautiful, almost like a greenhouse, with water elements, accent lighting through the greenhouse plants and vineyards located directly behind it. There are places to sit and watch the sunset with a glass of wine or enjoy coffee in the morning. The sunsets were incredible. On a clear night, the colors over the vineyards seemed to change every few minutes, and it was incredibly peaceful. We also saw wildlife around the property. The winery offers chocolate and wine pairings, reasonably priced wine, live music and food trucks. The live music was especially good and covered different genres throughout the weekend. We even had a seafood boil from one of the food trucks. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The brewery is another three-minute walk from the B&B and is currently open Saturdays. Having both a winery and brewery on the same property is something I didn't see anywhere else during our trip. We tried the pineapple sour and coconut stout, and they have a light beer coming soon. The brewery itself is also really unique because it was made using leftover wine bottles. There is plenty to do without leaving the property, including a saltwater pool, jacuzzi, live music, food trucks and plenty of places to relax. We also used Glass House as our home base for exploring the area. Carter Mountain Orchard was fun for apple cider donuts, cider and other treats. We visited Pippin Hill, Hark Vineyards, Eastwood Estate and Knights Gambit, each with a completely different atmosphere. We also hiked Humpback Rocks and Crabtree Falls. Humpback is definitely strenuous, while Crabtree was more manageable and had beautiful views. We spent some time in Crozet and downtown Charlottesville as well. We had a delicious meal at Smokehouse BBQ at Piedmont, and downtown Charlottesville's Downtown Mall was fun to explore. Vita Pizza was delicious and very accommodating with our food variations. One thing future guests should know is that most restaurants outside of Glass House are about 20-30 minutes away, so keep some snacks on hand and make dinner plans earlier. Most wineries also close around 5-6 PM, which actually worked well for us because we could enjoy the wineries during the day and get back to Glass House in time for the sunset. Our four-night mother-daughter trip was exactly what we wanted, and Glass House was the perfect home base. What made it even more memorable was the people we met and how genuinely welcomed we felt. There are plenty of beautiful wineries in the Charlottesville area, but Glass House felt different. You get wine, beer, live music, food, hiking, a pool, a jacuzzi, beautiful sunsets and a truly personal B&B experience all in one place. I genuinely think it would be a missed opportunity to visit the Charlottesville area and not experience Glass House. We will absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting. You get the peaceful small-town feel along with beautiful, friendly amenities, and we truly can't say enough good things about our experience.

Three of my friends held their weddings here and I personally hosted a friends bridal shower here during the pandemic. I have to say the venue is PERFECT for all occasions. There are distinct areas that you can rent. During the pandemic, the owner went out of his way to help us set up the bridal shower, make sure the area was well ventilated, but also included heat lamps and fans so we would be comfortable. There is also an Air Conditioned tasting room that was super comfortable. I've bought cases of their wine and they make fantastic gifts. When just visiting, I love all of the activities they have and the wines. I will definitely be back and hope to host more events here.
