The White Elephant Inn Getaway w/ Pool & Hot Tub!

Reviews

• Highly recommended

  5/5

  Our best and wholehearted recommendation! We spent a week to remember at The White Elephant, with family and friends who came for the wedding of our son in Charlottesville. There were 13 of us staying at The White Elephant, and four others were in a nearby hotel, but spent much of the daytime here. We were all impressed by the beauty, elegance and practicality of this place, secluded on a gentle slope in a woody area. The rooms and kitchens are big, the decks too, all nicely furnished. The swimming pool and the area around it are spectacular; it was a kids’ paradise and a great party place. The day before the wedding we organized a rehearsal dinner there for 70 guests and it was a big success. The owners, Bill and Katie, were kind and discreet, always ready to answer our calls. They not only tolerated our throwing a big party, but provided a lot of real help. We all left the place thinking how fortunate we were; it was much beyond our expectations.

• Wow! A must stay for the entire family!!

  5/5

  My family had the absolute pleasure of staying in this amazing home. The space was more than enough to accommodate our large group. One of the best features for me was the pool house kitchen that made hanging out even better as no one was "stuck" in the kitchen away from all the fun. The pool was perfect and so refreshing after a hot day exploring Charlottesville proper. The owners are one in a million and will answer all your questions. A true gem and we will definitely be returning!

• Fantastic stay for graduation weekend

  5/5

  Can’t say enough good things about our stay this weekend. We filled the house with family using all five bedrooms and the pool house sofa room. The owners couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating. The house is stocked with every possible serving dish, utensil, cutlery etc etc you could think of. Lovely wine glasses for the house plus dozens of plastic wine glasses for the pool patio. They were very gracious about us hosting family and friends around the pool, even coming out to offer a huge cooler on legs to hold beer and drinks. The house was spotlessly clean and they had supplied trash bags, napkins and dishwasher soap, among many extras. The hot tub was splendid! Would definitely recommend for a family gathering.

• Wonderful pool, location, gathering space

  5/5

  A wonderful stay for UVA graduation weekend. House was very close to town (and we could drive back roads the whole way to avoid 29 traffic!). Very clean and well stocked house, we cooked meals for 10 and loved sitting out by the pool. The pool house kitchen really helped with drinks and cleanup. Loved the hot tub on cool nights. All in all it was perfect for our extended family stay and made for a wonderful celebration!
