About this property

Mountain Top Private Retreat

Our home towers on the highest peak at Wintergreen Resort. Each of the 4 levels has decks to enjoy the best sunset views across the GW National Forest. The house is crowned by an observation floor and features spacious living areas, 5 BR (bonus of 3 sofa beds - all great for kids), 6.5 baths, large private lot, large sauna & very private secluded out-door hot tub. Three Primary Bedrooms: The main bedroom is a 2 room/2 bath suite & encompasses most of the third floor & includes pull out modular bed in the sitting room. Optional primary bedrooms on the lower and main floor, each with private baths. The main level has a large living room with new furniture, large smart TV, vaulted ceiling and a slate fireplace. Two additional sitting areas flank the large farm table that seats more then 12. Kitchen has been recently updated with stainless appliances, granite and butcher block counter tops, bar stool seating and opens to the large gathering room . The lower first floor has three bedrooms (king, bunk room, & queen) and seating area with sofa bed, and a small exercise/yoga room. All the bedrooms are airconditioned as well the kitchen/gathering area. The main living areas are not airconditioned, but we encourage our guest to turn off the A/C and enjoy mountain breeze. It’s not unusual to sleep under blankets in the summer. The home works great for 3 or 4 couples and a few singles/kids. Guests should consider this home is 20 years ago and there are quirks, tricky windows and wear & tear associated with that. Its our family's vacation house and definitely does not feel like a new cookie cutter suburban track house. We hope you will love it like we do!

Great location and views, house needs some attention.
Great location and nice sunset views. House set up is nice for a large group and easy commute to all the resort amenities. House has a lot of potential but could use some work. Several windows are drafty however most of the house heats up nicely except the observation floor. Needs space heater. Some Bathrooms doors don’t close all the way/lock and electrical is funky. Kitchen outlet tripped and couldn’t find the breaker, called owner with no answer but eventually found a breaker in bottom floor closet. Bunk room smelled a little moldy, possibly from the hvac unit being right outside the window. House needs a major deep clean. Had to search through and under couches for our kids toys and you don’t want to see what’s under there. Housecleaning service could do a better job at vacuuming and organizing closets, cupboards, linens and throwing out old items and food from previous stays. I’d say cleanliness and presentation is the downfall to our stay. Overall easy fixes the owner can do to make this rental great and I hope he does because the house has a lot of potential with its amenities.

Great Place to Stay
We stayed with a group of friends for a ski weekend and had a great time. The kitchen was recently updated, and looks like there has been some recent deck work done, too. The property has a great view of the mountains, and the hot tub was well received after a day on the slopes. The kids especially loved hanging out in the loft space on the top floor while the adults gathered around the cozy fireplace in the family room. There are some items that could still use updates in the house, and there were some very minor issues with electrical switches not being able to work (or at least we couldn’t get them to work) for some ceiling fans, etc, but overall, we all really enjoyed the very spacious property and would stay again.

Great Size and Location, Not a Great Presentation
The location and views of this property are great. There are tons of rooms and beds which is great for large groups. HOWEVER - when we got there it looked like it had not been cleaned in a very long time: the sheets were dirty with visible human hairs on them, there were crumbs on the counters, crumbs on the couch, crumbs and bugs on the floors. The bottom level has a very serious mold/mildew problem the smell was nauseating. It is definitely very run down, most of the windows are broken or do not even open; almost every window has a strong rot/mold smell.

About the host

Why they chose this property

You will come for the view and return for the experience on our mountain. This is not a new squeaky clean cookie cutter suburban type house and you will not have that kind of experience here. This home has evolved across three lots, multiple additions and family pieces of furniture chosen by owners from South America, Florida, and Virginia across 20 years. The extensive decks will draw you out into the sunshine and the outdoor hot tub will complete your day. Although 4/5 bedrooms do have air-conditioning, you’ll find yourself sleeping with windows open under blankets in the summer.
