Great Wintergreen house!

Very well maintained property in general with many extras like linens, towels, loads of silverwear, glasswear, pots and kitchen appliances. The master bed was very comfortable - the upstairs beds were less so for adults. Other than that we had a great time.

Great House - But Comes With Work

The house is beautiful, the location is perfect, and the furnishings are great. Just be aware that they day you check in, you will need to put the sheets on five beds and unload the dishwasher. Not the way I was expecting to spend my first evening of vacation. Then, on your check out day, you will need to strip all of the beds, empty all trash cans and haul out the trash a mile away, run the dishwasher and have the house "broom ready," all by 10AM in the morning. Wonderful house otherwise.

We had a wonderful time at Briarpatch! The house is even better than the pictures. It was cosy and charmingly decorated. The house was very clean and the kitchen was well-stocked with everything you could need. We loved cooking dinners each night in the beautiful kitchen. We enjoyed looking out at the woods through the windows that are on all three sides in the living room. We saw deer and chipmunks. And it was so peaceful to watch the rain from there. The location was great for drives to see the views and to access the trails. We were lucky to have sun during the day and rain in the morning and evenings, when we were at the house! Thank you for a fabulous stay!

Lovely home on a wooded lot.

There was plenty of space for the 4 of us to relax and watch tv, kick back and read a book, and put a puzzle together. Cookware is All Clad stainless, no nonstick, so don't forget the Pam. Trash does have to be taken to a trash receptacle on the resort but that was not a problem for us.

Celebrating my mothers first birthday since she passed away

Came here to release some of my mother’s ashes since her passing in November. My mother always told us she wanted her ashes to be released in wintergreen so since she passed away in November and her birthday is February 4th I decided her birthday would be the perfect day to celebrate her. The house was beautiful and perfect for us. I contacted the owner and asked a question in our stay and they went above and beyond to help us out. We were extremely grateful with them accommodating us. We will now be making this a yearly trip to celebrate my mother.

About the host

Hosted by Nathan Van Orden

Host profile image
We purchased Briarpatch at Wintergreen Resort in 2010 with the intention of having a Family Retreat that could be rented on a limited basis. We hope other families will enjoy our home as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We chose Wintergreen because my wife grew up having a family home on the mountain and my husband had been a visitor to Wintergreen since its founding. We enjoy the fact that this is a four seasons resort with hiking, fishing, skiing and year around activity. We also enjoy being near the Virginia Horse Center and the variety of horse activities close to Wintergreen. We also enjoy visiting the many towns that are reasonably close to Wintergreen and find the central location ideal for day trips within the region. We hope you enjoy Wintergreen and Nelson County as much as we do.
