The picturesque setting, beautiful accommodations, delightful meals, and the most gracious and accommodating hosts, made our stay at the Farmhouse at Veritas one of our best-ever B&B experiences. This truly exceptional B&B is at the top of our "Stay There Again" list.

June 09, 2013
We stayed three nights at the Farmhouse in May, and it was fabulous. The staff was attentive, the food was incredible, and the overall ambience was inviting and relaxing. I liked how you had the run of the house and felt comfortable milling about in the common areas...we enjoyed shooting pool and listening to music, sitting on the back porch with our wine and soaking up the sunshine...and just walking around the beautiful property. The location was ideal for hiking and hitting the wine trails, both of which we did. As a side note, the wines at Veritas were the best we tried! Happy hour was a treat, trying their different wines and getting to know the other guests. And the breakfasts, OMG, just amazing. We only wish the dinners were offered during the week, as we stayed on M-T-Wed and couldn't enjoy. I highly recommend this place, and we hope to come back again soon!

My husband and I attended a wedding at Veritas this weekend and are so happy that we decided to stay at the Farmhouse. The inn is gorgeous, our room (Cornwall) fit our needs perfectly, and the people are wonderful. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast each morning on the back porch, we stole some quiet moments on the upstairs porch just enjoying the views, and the nightly wine hour was a great chance to taste some wines and enjoy meeting the other guests. We visited several wineries during our stay, and the staff was happy to offer us great recommendations. The wine in our room was a great welcome, and I indulged in more of the delicious cookies than I should have! Overall, our getaway was wonderful, and we can't wait to visit again!

I still cannot believe how great this place is, and how long it took me to find it. I am an alum of UVA and I've been to Veritas Winery multiple times, yet I never thought about staying at the Farmhouse until this past graduation weekend when all the typical options (Boar's Head Inn, Keswick, etc) were booked. Man am I happy they were booked! The Farmhouse blows them all out of the water. It's truly 5 star accommodations at 3 star prices. The breakfast alone should win culinary awards and the house and rooms could not be any more charming and comfortable. I will NEVER stay anywhere else when I visit Charlottesville!

5 out of 5PERFECT Getaway!
May 11, 2013
We recently stayed at The Farmhouse at Veritas with my sister and brother-in-law to celebrate my birthday and their anniversary. Everything was absolutely perfect: the farmhouse itself is a BEAUTIFULLY restored Civil-War Era home, with gorgeous hardwood floors, paneling and perfectly chosen furniture. We arrived shortly before the "happy hour" and got to sit with the owner and enjoy some of the Veritas wines (and lovely company). Both mornings that we were there we enjoyed delicious meals served by the Chefs... and some sparkling wine! (such a great way to start the day when we you are on vacation! especially the second morning when we got to sit outside... perfect). We toured 2 wineries on our first day there, and then we did the tastings at Veritas before heading home on our 2nd day. We loved the Veritas wine, and became members of their club as it was so good. The staff at The Farmhouse (and the winery) were just so lovely, and it was great seeing what a family-run company they have - very impressive. If you are looking for a truly lovely, romantic (sparkling wine waiting for you in your room upon check-in) get-away then this is the place to go! We have been to several other B&B's in VA and MD but this is now our favorite - can't wait to go back!! Thank you to all of the staff for such a lovely stay.

From the time you walk in until the time you leave you will love The Farmhouse at Veritas. Jose greeted us upon arrival with some fresh baked chocolate chip cookies right out of the oven! We stayed in Somerset, a lovely room. Beautiful artwork, window treatments and paint color. We went to Veritas winery that afternoon. A beautiful setting and very good wine. Wine hour was at 5:30. So nice that Patricia (loved hearing about the history of the Farmhouse and Veritas) joined us. Also enjoyed getting aquainted with other guests. We enjoyed an outstanding 4 course dinner,prepared by the amazing Chef Joel, with each course paired with Veritas wines, on our second night. Breakfast was amazing as well. The entire stay was perfect. Thank you Hodson Family for doing it right...

My husband have enjoyed a winter get away trip for the past seven years and have stayed at a different hotel or b&b each year. The Farmhouse at Veritas was our favorite by a long shot! The property was breathtaking, the food and Chef Joel were just divine and Patricia and Andrew were absolutely lovely! You feel right at home. The companionship of the staff was so unique and fun. Everything was perfect at the Farmhouse at Veritas!
