The house is absolutely amazing! The host made everything so easy, and the house was very well-equipped. The check-out process was super easy! We loved it, and it's definitely among the top houses we've stayed in!
We absolutely loved our stay at Brett’s cabin. It is very spacious and clean, has 2 fireplaces and an outdoor fire pit, ample sitting areas, and had everything we needed to enjoy a weekend in wintergreen. We are hoping to return soon!

We loved our stay! The home was beautiful and clean. They had everything you need to stay with children including dishes, toys, a baby gate, etc. They even had a cute little kids rocking chair to play with. It was so nice to go and have what you need in a beautiful location!

Thank you for letting "The Retreat" be part of your family memories! We are glad you had a great time and look forward to hosting your family again soon!
The best part about this accommodation is all the space! Everyone had their own area to hang out. It was well stocked with everything we could possibly have needed, and the candies were a welcomed treat. Communication with the property owners was prompt and helpful. The neighbors were even cordial! Will definitely stay here again.
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.
My family and another family enjoyed a delightful weekend at this cabin near Wintergreen. The home is well appointed (I really appreciated the quality of the kitchen equipment) and very clean, and the layout lends itself well to two families having ample privacy and gathering space. The cabin is a five minute drive from the Wintergreen resort as well as places to sled and play in the snow, and we made wonderful memories here. I also appreciate how accessible the property manager and owner were when I needed instructions on how to re-ignite the fireplace pilot light. I feel grateful for having been able to stay here, and would absolutely return and recommend it to other families.
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!
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. :)
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!
We had a great experience at The Retreat! Check in was easy and Brett's communication was great and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. You can tell the house has been well maintained and cared for. It was better than we expected, we will definitely be back!
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.

Debra, thank you so much for the kind words. We are so happy your family had a wonderful time together and we hope you come stay again soon!
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.
