Interested in visiting Civil War battlefields? Sugar Hollow is an excellent base for making day trips to the National Historical Battlefields of Appomattox (to the south) or Fredricksburg (to the east).
If you decide to take a biking or driving tour of the area you will find that each country road you go down is prettier than the last one you were on -- rolling hills and pastoral scenes -- just beautiful!

FOOTBALL CROWDS - NO PROBLEM IN SUGAR HOLLOW!
The UVa football season is almost upon us! The first home game is September 8.
Not to worry about all of the hoopla, traffic and crowded restaurants in Charlottesville during the football season. Sugar Hollow is close in proximity to Charlottesville, but feels worlds away from traffic and congestion. No matter what is going on in the rest of the world it is peaceful and serene in our Sugar Hollow setting. With our mountain views, streams, long and colorful sunsets, hummingbirds, butterflies, deer, wild turkey and fox there is plenty of quiet entertainment. And don't forget the fall colors -- our mountain surroundings give us a spectacular show every fall.
If you wish, you can stay on this, the west side of Charlottesville, entertain yourselves thoroughly and never have to deal with the confusion of a football weekend. There are several excellent wineries nearby, fun for touring and tasting and great fall hiking 2 miles from the inn. With free access into the Shenandoah National Park you can take an easy 2-hour hike to the top of the Blue Ridge to the Appalachian Trail.
There are several excellent restaurants just 10 minutes from the inn -- unaffected by the football dinner crowds in Charlottesville. You can have a wonderful meal nearby in peace and quiet on your own time schedule. Perfect!
Check our reservation schedule to book a room -- consider a stay of one or more weeknights when we have more availability. We would love to have you as our guests!
