The Charlottesville Virginia area presents a plethora of ideas to the weekend traveler. Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, James Monroe's Ashlawn, the Michie Tavern and the University of Virgina are some of the locations you can visit to pass the time. For your overnight stay, try the Inn at Monticello. Built in 1856, this English style country manor house has five guest rooms with private baths. Our room had a canopy bed, colonial furnishings and quilts on the walls. Upon arrival we enjoyed wine and cheese presented by the roaring fire while we became acquainted with our fellow guests. In the morning we enjoyed a scrumptious breakfast.
Touring the University of Virginia's sprawling campus was a special treat. It was designed by Thomas Jefferson and has some of the same elements of Monticello. Nearby are the quaint shops of this college town.
For a taste of history and a break from big city life, try Charlottesville and the Inn at Monticello.
