Come and enjoy a beautiful view and relaxing time at Windy Knoll....


Windy Knoll invites you to come and relax and enjoy the stunning views of the Afton Mountain greenery. Large A-Frame windows allow the sunlight to come through so you can enjoy the birds and nature all around. The property sits on 3.5 acres so it is very private. An expansive rolling lawn in the front to enjoy watching the deer in the morning while having a cup of coffee on the wide front porch. Forest areas on the side and back of the house. Enter the home in the front door and a warm and welcoming living room await you with two couches and a gas burning fireplace. Throw blankets and pillows for snuggling while watching a movie. TV and DVD player with a selection of movies to choose from. The dining room with bay seated window has a large table to seat 6 comfortably. The front porch also has a dining table. Spacious, well appointed kitchen with all you need for preparing delicious meals after a day of hiking the Appalachian trail or sightseeing. Dish-ware, flatware, sauce and saute pans. Wine glasses, coffee mugs, serving ware. Crock pot, blender, mixer. Coffee pot with coffee bean grinder (Starbucks coffee beans in the pantry). You will find a few condiments in the refrigerator, spices, herbs, oil in the pantry. The loft bedroom has a Queen bed and a Double Bed with a private bathroom and shower. The first floor bedroom has two twin beds and a separate bathroom with walk in shower. Loft area also has a desk with laptop and printer for your use. Back deck has a grill all ready for those barbecues!

Perfect Mountain Retreat

Windy Knoll is the best of all worlds - a quiet mountain retreat to relax at and disappear into nature, while being close enough to multiple great towns to enjoy what they have to offer as well. The owners clearly love this home, always upgrading to make the experience more enjoyable. Can't get enough of this place!

Family Vacation

Stayed here a few days as part of larger vacation with my girlfriend, mother and dogs. The property is in a great location and only minutes from everything we like to do. The house is in a very quiet neighborhood and had lots of well thought out extras, including for pets. We would definitely stay here again.

Another wonderful stay at Windy Knoll

We just had another lovely stay at Windy Knoll... same relaxing scenery where we could decompress and the house that was tastefully renovated! The personal touch and the amenities to make guests feel welcome remain a constant at Windy Knoll, from first quality bed linens/towels, well stocked kitchen/pantry to fresh coffee beans to enjoy and recommendations for things to do in the area! And then also dog bowls and towels for dirty paws for the furry guest! Needless to say, we will be back as soon as we can!

Our favorite rental!

My wife and I loved Windy Knoll. We’ve stayed at dozens of rentals the past 25 years and this rates #1. It’s beautifully furnished and very clean. The location is perfect and the view from the front porch is stunning. Such a peaceful setting. We will return.
