It has a great view and is quiet. It is up a steep hill so you would want to have a car.
We loved staying at Grand View Guesthouse, big space and comfortable furnishing, the view of course is unbeatable - we enjoyed breakfast and late night relaxation on the balcony overlooking Speyside bay. If you rent a vehicle for your trip, this option is a must for staying in Speyside/Charlottesville
Calling ahead is appreciated. We forgot to and arrived around 9pm. Even then, someone showed up with keys and made our stay quite easy. We'd recommend it to anyone. Also, the views of the bay are stunning.
