A Delightful Stay at Dunlodge Cabin
By Jess LaPolla
Built by the Dunn brothers in 1940, Dunlodge is a gem in the PATC cabins system. Located within Charlottesville city limits, near the University of Virginia (UVA), this modern home is ideal for sports fans, American History enthusiasts, and those looking to experience the Charlottesville area. The university football stadium and John Paul Jones Arena are both within walking distance.
Surrounding the cabin are landscaped gardens, a large outdoor patio with a rock fireplace to enjoy on crisp evenings, a horse barn, and a series of walking trails, including a short connector trail linking the cabin to the UVA Observatory Hill Trail.
Located on a secluded wooded property, the cabin offers a quiet and remote experience despite its front country location.
The house is uniquely constructed, showcasing log siding, sloped roofs, step down rooms, rose bud flooring, indoor fireplaces, wood beam ceilings, a large sunroom, and a formal dining room. It brings a sense of enchantment and whimsy for anyone who stays here. Complete with four bedrooms, 2.5 baths, an all-season sunroom, central heat and air, and a variety of other amenities, Dunlodge has all the comforts of home.
Dunlodge is also conveniently located near wineries, breweries, restaurants, and many historic sites. Visit Monticello, Thomas Jefferson’s home, which, along with UVA, is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Kluge Ruhe Aboriginal Art Museum is the only museum in the country dedicated to Indigenous Australian art.
Dine in and enjoy creating a meal in the full kitchen, or dine out at one of the many restaurants in town. Start your morning with a cup of joe from Shenandoah Joe Coffee Roasters, or enjoy a delicious meal at El Tio.
This cabin is available to PATC members only. If you are interested in becoming a member to access our dozens of incredible cabins, click here.
