Above the Clouds! Perfect Escape for Families!

Breathe in the fresh mountain air when you stay at The Retreat at Wintergreen in the Blue Ridge Mountains. This updated and spacious family-friendly home located in a quiet cul-de-sac includes two gas fireplaces, second floor deck, and a play area for the kiddos. The mountain has something for everyone from hiking, skiing, and swimming, to beer and wine tasting. The house is a short drive to the Wintergreen Spa and Lodge, and a quick walk to Devil's Knob Overlook and an Old Appalachian Trailhead.

This spacious home has two large entertaining areas. On the main level enjoy the beautiful floor to ceiling windows offering a seasonal sunset mountain view with an up-to-date kitchen. Walk out onto the second floor porch to have your morning cup of coffee while listening to nature's serenade. The main floor also includes a gas fireplace, the master bedroom and bathroom with exposed beams and an extra half bathroom.

The other entertaining space is located in the basement which has a gas fireplace along with a TV and fridge as well as another area for outdoor covered seating.. A full bedroom, bathroom, laundry room, and garage are also located on this level.

The third floor boasts beautiful exposed hardwood ceilings and a special children's nook where they can enjoy playing games, coloring, and other kid-centric activities. Two bedrooms and one bath can also be found on this level.

Open the door and say, WOW!
This home far exceeded our expectations!! It was perfect for our girls get-away! It’s in a beautiful and relaxing location . We spent lots of time on the large deck. They even provided s’more forks for our evening fire and dessert s’mores! They thought of everything you could possibly need and the little surprise touches were wonderful! Everything was beautiful, extremely clean and comfy (the beds, the couches and chairs)! It was very spacious and had room for relaxation, playing games, crafts, tv watching, a place especially for the kids was adorable! We had the best time and this place accommodated our every need and were already planning our next escape! Check it out and ENJOY!

Great house!
Wonderful house. It felt very spacious — plenty of space for our group to spread out. Big windows with beautiful views, well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds. A 5 minute drive to the skiing at Wintergreen. The owner sent us an extremely helpful pdf brochure ahead of time with very detailed information about the house. Our only challenge was with climate control — in winter, with the heat running, the living areas and master bedroom felt cool while the other bedrooms felt warm. Just keep that in mind when allocating bedrooms to the people in your party. :)

Beautiful, large, comfortable, and convenient location
We loved our stay at this beautiful home. Everything was extremely clean, and the bathrooms and kitchen looked new. The family room furniture is so comfortable for a large group to recline and relax after a day of skiing. The kitchen was stocked with coffee k-cups, a nice double griddle pan, toaster, and Belgian waffle maker, which made family breakfast so nice and easy. We loved our stay here and had no complaints. We hope to return to the same property again—no need to look anywhere else in Wintergreen. This home had everything we wanted.

Perfect, Special, Quality Time!
We know the Wintergreen Retreat ranks as one of our best vacation homes yet! Our children and grandkids met in this beautiful mountain home for Thanksgiving as well as a birthday celebration. This house is so well appointed with.....just about everything! Not only were we able to cook Thanksgiving dinner there but just about all our other meals. We wanted especially to be "home" for dinner, so we did not miss the stunning sunsets over the mountains! And the stars at night..my goodness...amazing! The home is decorated in such a warm and comforting style. From the super comfortable, plush reclining sofas to the lovely flooring, striking windows...you just wanted to sit in that great room and take it all in! They even had some tasteful holiday decorations about that made it even more welcoming. You can see careful attention was paid to details throughout the whole, very clean house, with quality furnishing, bedding, towels etc. including current, well cared for games for both adult and children. They especially loved both the puzzle and Lego table downstairs! The owners were also very efficient and promptly answered all emails or calls. We had a minor inconvenience happen in the home through no fault of ours or the owners. They responded and made arrangements immediately, on a holiday weekend! They were also caring enough to leave some Happy Birthday balloons and chocolates for the birthday celebration. Wintergreen property is AMAZING! So many opportunities to hike right in Wintergreen. A favorite was the Shamokin Waterfall hike..so pretty! We also went off property to striking Crabtree Falls. That was also amazing! All in all..a fabulous home, perfect holiday, birthday, quality time spent, and precious memories made in such a beautiful setting. So thankful for that experience!

A place above the clouds!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with my family. We were finally able to be together after 2 years, due to Covid-19. The attention to detail in the house made it feel like a home away from home. You provided everything anyone would need, plus so much more! The kids loved the surprise candy in the refrigerator. It wasn't always the best weather, but the house had more than enough room to pass the time together. The family was able to do some tubing, hiking and other activities that were offered at the resort. A thoughtful gesture by you providing our New Year's Eve box. We celebrated at the Wintergreen Resort, which had amazing fireworks! Once again, thank you Brett for promptly answering my many questions. We haven't stopped talking about our time together. Would love to come back someday.

Delightful Holiday
This property is exactly as described and a wonderful place to relax, work, and enjoy the mountain. The home is well maintained, beautiful, and has a fully stocked kitchen to bake, cook, & entertain. We had a great time baking cookies, making dinners and having dinner around the dinner table which seats 6. Absolutely wonderful staff and great hosts! It felt like a resort inside the resort.
