Cedar Spring Inn & Spa

Great place to get away!
As you drive up the long, long driveway you know you are in store for something special.
This is a beautiful home on a secluded hilltop, very nice for a romantic or quiet getaway — yet convenient to Charlottesville where we had some business.
The hosts were warm and welcoming, but did not linger. The property was pristine, yet has that just slightly cluttered state that makes things seem warm and welcoming instead of cold and impersonal. Our ‘garden’ room was just out of range of the WiFi signal from the main building — something I’m fairly certain pleased my travel companion.
I think what pleased me most was that everything was handy and there was no sense of being nickled-​and-​dimed. A fridge stocked with fancy and plain water and other beverages — complimentary. Heated pool with plenty of towels. Steam room went unused for this July visit — but we certainly enjoyed the pool without children around. TV and gaming area — but you can take a DVD back to the room and watch it there (or bring your own… particularly if you have the room w/​o WiFi ;-)
And the breakfast. Wow. Our morning had choices from fresh blueberry pancakes to an avacado omelet and others. But the personal loaf of fresh, warm pumpkin raisin bread was the nicest surprise and well worth the calories. They even let me take the left overs!
A great find. We will certainly be back!

Amazing location, property, and customer service. Delicious and gourmet breakfasts combined with a beautiful, private room made my Valentine’s weekend with my husband. Judy and Charles were kind and gracious hosts. We had a warm gas fireplace, a spacious jacuzzi tub and clean linens twice a day. The views are incredible. The wine social is a fun way to meet other guests around a roaring wood fire in a beautiful living room.

My husband and I stayed here over Memorial Day weekend and had a lovely time. The inn is just stunning, and Charles and Judy thought of everything. The property is secluded and quiet, but has the nice modern day touches of wifi, TV and pool/​hot-​tub. The entire house is gorgeous with lovely décor, and the room was very clean with everything you need.
Breakfast is served daily between 8−10am, and you get to choose from a small menu. They baked fresh banana-​nut, strawberry and orange loaves daily, and they will package it up for you to take. They also have an evening happy hour of wine, but we didn’t get the chance to participate. They only have five rooms, so it’s nice and quiet. A 20 minute drive from Charlottesville, but close to antique shops and Shenandoah National Park. We can’t wait to come back.

I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars! This place is the best bed and breakfast in Charlottesville, VA. My husband and I visited here for our honeymoon, and also on another occasion to celebrate Valentine’s Day. The inn keepers, Charles and Judy, are one of the nicest people we have met. They definitely went out of their way to make us feel at home. Charles helped push our car up the hill when it got stuck in the snow, and he also plowed the driveway for several hours during the snowstorm. The breakfast here is fresh and so delicious. The rooms are very clean, elegant, and the place has many amenities (pool, hot tub, work out room, sauna…). Words cannot explain what a fantastic time we had at Cedar Springs Inn whenever we visited. I don’t think we will be able to find another B&B as wonderful as this one. We will definitely be returning again soon!

Really terrible customer service. This was supposed to be our romantic anniversary get away and it was completely ruined. It doesn’t matter how beautiful and clean the bed and breakfast is if you’re treated poorly. My husband and I are very well travelled and we have never had someone be more rude. Don’t bother wasting your time here, there are so many other places to stay that will appreciate your patronage and not act like you are intruding on «their home». You’re in the wrong buisness Judy. Since this is your «home» and not your buisness or anything, you must either a) have a lot of money and don’t care if you upset your guests because you also don’t care if they come back or b) can’t afford your «home» and have to rent out rooms to couples so you can live on such a property.
We left early. If I could leave less stars I would.

Visited last May and got engaged here.

I truly loved everything about this place and I wouldn’t change a thing except for extending meal services because it was that good and I would pay extra for it!

My husband and I have been to Cedar Spring Inn & Spa twice — once back in 2005 and once again in 2013 (this past weekend), and each time has exceeded our expectations. From the cleanliness to the décor to the overall property, it is B&B perfection.
The owners/​inkeepers (Judy and Charles) are friendly, knowledgeable about the area and strike the perfect balance between making you feel welcome while also giving you your privacy. It’s clear they understand and appreciate the world of hospitality from the elegant yet comfortable décor they’ve incorporated into every element of the property.
In addition, they’ve incorporated so many thoughtful little touches into every facet of their guest’s stay, ranging from a delicious, multi-​course, homemade (gourmet!) breakfast every morning (including a variety of beverages and dishes to choose from), to a complimentary happy hour (with a delicious white and red wine to choose from!) every afternoon, to surround sound speakers in every room, to a mini-​fridge stocked with beverages in every room (Fiji water, bottled Coca Cola classic…), to spa slippers and robes in the closet, to a turndown service including a sweet treat of some kind atop a card with a corresponding quote and weather forecast for the following day. Talk about making a person feel pampered!
In addition to beautiful inside living spaces, the rest of the property is delightful as well. The steam room and sauna, the heated pool and hot tub, the wraparound deck with outdoor fireplace for drinking a steaming cup of coffee overlooking the mountains on a chilly morning… it just doesn’t get any better.
If you are looking for a beautiful and relaxing weekend getaway in Charlottesville, look no further than Cedar Spring Inn & Spa — you will not regret it!

I went to Cedar Spring April 2013 for my birthday. I had a wonderful experience. It’s literally off the beaten path and the surrounding nature is beautiful. I stayed in the largest room of the house which had an extremely large balcony. It held a full-​size hammock. I took a hike through the woods which is still part of the B&Bs property. It was exciting to check out the abandonned cabin in the woods, cross over streams and figure out new ways to get back on the path where branches/​trees had fallen. Judy and Charles the Inn owners were warm and welcoming. Breakfast was delicious and filling. You will definitely have more than enough to eat. It was a little too cool to go in the pool and jacuzzi, but I kept eyeing them. Staying at Cedar Spring, like someone else mentioned, is romantic and relaxing. There are of course a gazillion wineries to explore, a variety of restaurants, and local activities if you’re feeling adventurous. I went Hot Air Ballooning at sunrise one morning and was able to come back to the Inn, eat a big breakfast and take a nap until afternoon. This was the first time a weekend getaway felt like I had been on vacation for a whole week. This definitely is a place I liked to stay at again and again.

Another wonderful experience, This was our second visit to the inn and Judy the inn keeper and her Husband Charles still provide and amazing experience. The romance and relaxation of this out of the way inn will be a memory you will cherish for years to come. Just north of Charolettesville and only 2 miles off a main road the inn provides easy access to dining and the local winery’s. I would recommend planning a day of your trip to just hang at the end to enjoy the spa or pool or just the peace and quiet. The gourmet breakfast Judy provides is more than enough to satisfy till dinner with maybe a light lunch and the nightly wine gives you a chance to meet and socialize with others staying at the inn. There are only five rooms each with king bed and massive baths with deep tubs and large showers. The trails off the back allow for light hiking and massages and hot air balloon rides can be arranged. I highly recommend the inn weather you visiting a youngster at nearby UVA, attending a game our touring winery’s the views you wake up to alone make it worth while.

Amazing place tucked away in the hills. It was so very relaxing and comfortable. I had never stayed at a B&B before and was a little nervous but my fiancé found this wonderful place for us to stay for the UVA reunion. The home is very new and lavishly decorated. Our room was perfect and spotless with great amenities like free Fiji water in the mini fridge in the room, soaking tub, steam shower, his and her’s vanities and more! We didn’t want to leave in the morning because the king size bed and lush linens were so comfy. Our room also had a covered patio with a hammock for two. We fell asleep in it one night while overlooking the property. And the breakfast was top notch! Their homemade bread was great. We just left this morning and are already talking about when we can go back just to enjoy this B&B.

This is a great getaway! I disagree with the bad review about the bugs and the frog in the room. Although it’s possible because some rooms have doors that open to the outside.
When you have doors that open to the outside and you are in the country — you do have to be careful about bugs. I did not have any issues!
The Inn is wonderful, rooms in excellent condition, beautiful views and grounds. And the breakfast in the morning is amazing! Best breakfast ever.
What you see in the website pictures is what you get. I was surprised at how nice the place is. Even when you stay at the Ritz there may be some mold in the shower — but not here… Everything was great.
Finally I think that the price was very fair. Compare this getaway to The Poplar Springs Inn Spa. There are not as many activities on the grounds at Ceder Spring, but in many ways it is nicer. (Also, there is not an actual Spa at Ceder Spring.) Check their website for what is offered.

What a disappointment. The location was beautiful; relatively close to Charlottesville; and the room was fantastic — EXCEPT for the bugs. There were bugs on the walls, on the ceiling and on the sheets. I spent an hour before bed killing them all — only to find a frog in the room as well! When I spoke to the owners in the morning — they blamed me for the problem, incredulous that it could have been their fault! Except for the frog — they told me that frogs love to go into that room because its so cool. Any other self-​respecting hotel/b&b would have been overly apologetic and offering a discount from what is an already over-​priced room. Instead, the proprietors blamed me. I will never stay here again — stay here at your own risk, there are much better locations closer to Charlottesville with owners that are happy to have guests — unlike this one.
