~ A True Sanctuary ~
Less than an hour south of Charlottesville, cross a small bridge over Possum Trot Creek and follow the drive past the privet hedge—where you leave the modern world behind and step into old Virginia, the way it used to be… and still is.
Possum Trot blends timeless countryside charm with a modern Lodge built for celebration, featuring a chef-designed kitchen, gardens made for saying “I Do,” and a stunning Great Room with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and built-in bar. French doors open to our Sun Room, which seats up to 76 guests at hand-hewn farm tables—no tent required.
Just steps away, the original 1924 Farmhouse offers classic elegance with welcoming gathering spaces, an entertainer’s deck, and a front porch perfect for slow mornings and summer evenings.
Sleeping up to 18 guests in beds, with space to glamp outdoors, the property also features a creek, bonfire ring, lawn games, and peaceful places to wander. Rent the entire estate—or choose the Lodge or Farmhouse—for weddings, retreats, reunions, and celebrations of all kinds.
With gardens, creekside grounds, and shaded lawns, Possum Trot Lodge offers beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces for every celebration. A climate-controlled covered porch seats up to 75 at a King’s Table or 100 with casual seating, while a 60-foot covered patio provides space for dancing and outdoor lounging.
Rain or shine—we’ve got you covered.
