Okay

Hosts were friendly and helpful. Place was clean, if a little care-worn. Well-stocked with coffee, tea and one could use the kitchen. A few caveats -- the guest rooms are three small bedrooms on one floor. It was okay for us, since no one else was there. There also is only one bathroom on the floor,so if there is more than one room occupied, it could be an issue. There is no television. The mattress in our room was a futon placed on a wooden box. It was not comfortable.

Nice B and B in Charlottesville. The only inconvenience is the shared bathroom, but it was quiet, the bed was very comfortable, and Flame and Raven are nice hosts. There's continental breakfast items in the morning. The house is very eco-conscious.

This was a lovely place. Very clean, spacious, beautiful artwork and plants. Terrific location for visiting our son at UVA. The hosts are very friendly and welcoming. It was the perfect place for us to stay to attend our son’s graduation.

Our stay at the Fairhaven Guesthouse was very comfortable. The home was clean and accommodating. The proprietors were very pleasant and accommodating. The exterior of the accommodations could use some curbside updating. We would absolutely stay at Fairhaven again and would recommend it.

Great bargain, close to the sights

Like any lodging, Fairhaven has both good and bad points: PRO: Raven and Flame, the hosts, are most helpful Location is convenient to Monticello, UVA, downtown mall Quiet residential neighborhood DIY breakfast--ingredients are in the kitchen so you can make what you want when you want it Price is great CON. Shared bathroom Steps from the street to the front door (and the railing was unstable), then additional stairs inside You can hear the people in the adjacent rooms No TV, newspapers or magazines, although the wifi is good If you looking for a charming B&B, this isn't it. If you are looking for an inexpensive place to stay--almost like a hostel--do consider Fairhaven Guesthouse.
