    Prospect Hill is one of our favorite places to get away to, located in Virginia wine country and not far from Charlottesville. The Sheehan family knows what hospitality really is and makes their guests feel very welcome. Wine and dessert is in your room when you arrive. We have stay in the Summer's Kitchen at least four times or more very cozy and comfortable. The stand out of this inn is dinner. Everyone eats together and the food is excellent!!!! We have never ever had a disappointing dinner or breakfast. We will always keep coming back!!! AP/LP Suffolk VA

    Like many people, my husband and I lead extremely busy lives. Prospect Hill was a delight from the moment we walked in. It was truly relaxing. The food was fabulous. The rooms were clean and well decorated. Beds were unbelievably comfortable, which is essential for us. Wow, breakfast in bed. Can't remember the last time I had breakfast in bed. We took our time and walked the grounds. We walked to the pond and just sat on the bench in a hurry to do nothing but enjoy the scenery. Headed back again this weekend for a different kind of trip. It will be our hub for other activities, such as golf and a college football game. I was hoping to have time for the vineyards and Monticello, which was what we did on our first trip. I think that next time will visit downtown Charlottesville at Christmas time. There are tons of museums. Well, today is Wednesday. Just a couple more days to go. Hope everyone reading this post enjoys Prospect Hill as much as I do.

    We took a weekend in October to spend at Prospect Hill and it was just beautiful. We stayed in the main house and the room was large and very comfortable. The fruit basket, cookies and bottle of wine that greeted us was a really nice touch. I was absolutely blown away by the quality of the food! The nightly dinners that were served were absolutely wonderful and the wine choices were a perfect compliment to the meal. High praise go to the chef! The innkeeper was so personable and knowledgeable regarding the history surrounding the plantation. He really made the trip interesting for us. I absolutely loved everything about our stay and we will definitely plan to return.

    We went here in November 2007. We loved the quaint and isolated cottage away from the main house. Stocked and cut firewood for the fireplace created a romantic atmosphere. The dinner and breakfast were excellent . Well pepared and well presented. The cottage was a little rustic - but we were in "the country", I think it's supposed to be a little rustic in the country. Would recommend this place - it's serence, in the middle of nowhere , yet fine dining and food.
