Beautiful Butterflies

Dick's latest butterfly siting, a Hackberry Emperor, - spotted a few days ago in our gravel driveway where it was getting the minerals that leach into the little puddles. This one is a first for his photographic collection. It's a beauty -  have you ever seen it at your house?

Join us in Sugar Hollow and Dick will be glad to take you on a butterfly tour of our property!

Free. Outdoor. Friday. Bayou Americana.

Charlottesville's Fridays After Five, 2012, does it again with the best Louisiana bayou music by the Honey Island Swamp Band. For those of you who are not preoccupied with UVA graduation, you will not want to miss this -- and it's free!

HISB came together by chance when Aaron, Chris, Sam and Garland found themselves marooned in San Fran after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans. They put together a song list, got some gigs and the rest is history. They have won too many "Best of" awards to count including, Best Roots Rock Artist of 2011 at the Big Easy Awards, New Orleans premier arts and entertainment awards ceremony.

What's not to love about a group that calls themselves the Honey Island Swamp Band ! Enjoy your Friday night out with the band, then come to stay with us in Sugar Hollow and tell us about it!

Super Moon

If you are staying with us at our Charlottesville Inn this coming weekend you might be in for a special celestial treat! This month's full moon will coincide with the moon's closest approach to the Earth, so the moon should be extra big and bright for us.

With a little luck we will have clear skies over Sugar Hollow for a great view of this so called "Super Moon".

Cold Snap in Spring? Blame it on the Blackberries!

Interesting fact: the cold snap we have been experiencing this Spring is known as a Blackberry Winter. With the mild weather we had been having, the blackberries bloomed early. Farmers know to watch for a cold snap in Spring once the blackberries bloom, as they require some cold weather to set their buds.

A Great Night's Rest

Actual Picture of Woodland Room Bed

Some details have been changed to protect the innocent but we wanted to share this nice comment left by one of our guests recently. We get a lot of positive response to the comfort of the mattresses on our beds, but we thought this one was especially good:

"Julia and I would like to thank you for the wonderful and relaxing stay at your inn.  It was a wonderful way to celebrate our anniversary and we will be back. We meant to ask you what brand and style was the mattress on our bed in the Woodlands room.  I have problems with sleeping at night because of pain in my lower back.  I had no pain laying on the bed and had the best sleep in months!  I returned home to have pain again laying on our bed.  So, a new mattress is amust for us."

If you want the same great sleep at home as you have experienced with us, first move to mountains. If that doesn't work, just ask us for the name of our mattress man, we'll be glad to share!

Free. Outdoor. Friday. Bluegrass.

The Charlottesville Fridays After Five Summer Concert Series kicks off with bluegrass music from Love Canon, but this isn't your Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs and the Foggy Mountain Boys. These guys rock out with bluegrass interpretations of hits from 80s (think Cindi Lauper, Whitesnake, and Dire Straits). Sounds like a ton of fun.

Head on down to the n-Telos Wireless Pavilion near the historic walking downtown mall in Charlottesville and catch a free show tonight.

Then come stay with us at our Charlottesville Bed and Breakfast and tell us all about it!
