History 

Built in 1895 by S. A. Eddins, your accommodations, the Farm House is said to be the second oldest home in the Belmont neighborhood of Charlottesville.. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, it was located on what was considered the elite street for successful businessmen and merchants. Eventually, in 1897 S.A. Eddins deeded the home to his children.  The family later sold it to Samuel J. Robinson in 1906.


Samuel J. Robinson was considered one of the wealthiest and most influential residents of the Belmont Farm House. At one time, he owned nearly an entire block of land, including his residence and every lot behind his house to Monticello Road.. Mr. Robinson passed away in 1942, his family sold the home in 1945. Decades later, the Thomas family purchased the home renovating it into a rooming house and an apartment building.

Reviews

Crystal was amazing! The trip was organized and relaxing, I will definitely join the next yoga retreat in 2021.
By Maryam N for Rejuvenation Yoga Retreat: Costa Rica on Mar 01, 2020
Crystal Mann was a wonderful leader, teacher, and friend. This trip she organized was just what I needed, when I needed it. All of the important details were taken care of. From the time I landed in beautiful Costa Rica, all the way through landing and receiving follow up information. She even had little gift bags waiting for us in our rooms at the beautiful, mountain resort she selected for our yoga retreat. The yoga classes were just right - a good mix of experiences, poses, and meditation. Everyone could participate as they liked. The excursion to the Wildlife and Waterfall center was just the right addition to this relaxing, restful, and restorative adventure to a warm climate, and serene setting in Central America. The resort was an escape from reality, where the food was not only fresh and delicious, but nutritious too and considered a variety of dietary choices and needs. The pool was one of my favorite spots - heated, clean, and plenty of soft towels to cozy up in with a good book. My bed was so comfortable, the only thing getting me out was my enthusiasm for the good coffee, and perfectly-timed yoga (not too early and not too late)! Thank you so much to Crystal for organizing this retreat. It was the perfect birthday gift to myself - thank you so much for making it such a special way to celebrate! Namaste.
By Rebecca D for Rejuvenation Yoga Retreat: Costa Rica on Feb 29, 2020
This was my first yoga retreat and I had a wonderful rejuvenating time. Everything was well organized, clear and went smoothly from beginning to the end. The instructor Crystal was so thoughtful and paid a lot of attention to details from welcoming each of us with a goodie bag to offering every class with varied themes such as chakra balancing, alignment flow, yoga nidra, aromatherapy yoga etc. She has a Kind grounding presence and a poise that comes through in her teaching. She was great at giving cues to correct alignment, and created a calm yet dynamic flow of energy in the room. The facility was serene and beautiful with 3 amazing meals. Highly recommended!
