Welcome to Maple Crest and its newest landscaping and garden updates.

Whether you are visiting UVA or Woodberry Forest, attending a wedding at The Market at Grelen, enjoying the Montpelier races, or simply spending a few days among wineries and history in the rolling beauty of Virginia’s Piedmont, Maple Crest offers a warm and thoughtfully curated countryside stay in the heart of it all.

And yes — pets are welcome.

Originally built circa 1929, Maple Crest has been thoroughly renovated while preserving the warmth and character of an early-century Virginia home. The property changes beautifully with the seasons, with flowering trees, mature shrubs, bulbs, and gardens creating color and texture throughout the year.

The spacious eat-in kitchen is bright and cheerful, with quartz countertops, new appliances, and generous room for gathering. A sunny breakfast nook overlooking bird feeders is the perfect place to enjoy coffee, catch up on emails, or simply watch the morning unfold just outside the window.

The first floor also includes a half bath, a large living room, and a sun-filled sitting room with both eastern and western exposures, ideal for long conversations, afternoon reading, or a quiet evenings as the light changes across the surrounding fields and mountains.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, including one en suite bedroom, along with two full baths. The hall bath features an antique clawfoot tub with shower, while the primary bath includes a walk-in shower.

A utility basement with washer, dryer, and sink is available for guests' convenience.

The house is wonderfully sunny throughout the day, with views of surrounding farms and mountains from nearly every room. Guests often enjoy sunsets from the front porch and sunrises from the back garden with coffee in hand and birdsong in the distance.

Mature boxwoods frame the front lawn, creating both privacy and a classic Virginia landscape well suited for croquet, lawn games, or simply relaxing outdoors. Presiding over the property is the magnificent old maple tree that gave Maple Crest its name, a towering presence that transforms with each season and has quietly watched over the house for generations.

The fenced backyard offers plenty of room for children and canine companions to run and play, while the acre of fenced pasture beyond provides open space for field sports and seasonal wandering among flowering trees, shrubs, vegetables, and whatever may be blooming at the moment.

Maple Crest sits among working farms and quiet countryside roads, where the sounds of chickens, tree frogs, crickets, and the occasional passing train are all part of the historic rhythm and character of rural Virginia life.

Despite its peaceful surroundings, Maple Crest is located only minutes from some of Central Virginia’s most treasured destinations, including:

The Market at Grelen

scenic hikes and drives
antiques and local farm markets
