About your hosts!
Hi, I’m Susan Pierce, and I’m an architect, who designed our home near Washington, DC and restored our
log cabin near Charlottesville. Originally intended for our family and extended families, I now LOVE
sharing them with others, especially when our guests tell us how much they have really enjoyed their
stays. Whether you’re exploring the many sights of Washington, D.C., or unwinding in the peaceful
countryside of Charlottesville, my goal is to provide a welcoming space where you and your loved ones
can relax, re-connect, and make lasting memories. We also have enjoyed hosting work-groups and group-
study programs where luxury and charm are valued.
