About this property

The Mountain House | Incredible Views | 5BR

Escape to a peaceful mountain retreat where the views steal the show. This spacious 5-bedroom chalet offers the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and room to gather—whether you’re here to explore nearby trails or simply unwind and take it all in. If you are visiting Sweet Briar college, this is the spot for you and your family!

A quick note before you continue to read about this wonderful property...the driveway is long and hilly, and at some points rocky. 4WD is REQUIRED to the STUNNING property at the peak. If you are looking for a smooth, short driveway and a more suburban or normal neighborhood setting, this is not the place for you. If you are in search of a magical property in the sky, that takes someone who understands true mountain life (or is willing to try), look no further.

The views are simply unmatched. Stretching across the entire valley, they’re stunning by day—but at night, they become something unforgettable. Gather around the fire pit under a sky full of stars and take in a panoramic view that truly makes you feel like you’re on top of the world.

Inside, the home blends cozy mountain charm with plenty of space to gather and unwind. The soaring A-frame ceilings create a warm, open atmosphere, while the large, fully stocked kitchen and oversized dining table make it easy to bring everyone together.

What you’ll love:

- 5 spacious, ultra-comfortable bedrooms : 1 California King, 2 Kings, 1 Queen and an additional room with a queen bed
- 3 Full and 2 bathrooms conveniently located
- Expansive deck with outdoor dining and breathtaking views
- Screened-in porch for slow mornings and peaceful evenings
- Fire pit with some of the best nighttime views you’ll ever see
- Outdoor loungers for soaking in the mountain air
- Walking trails right on the property
- Grill for easy outdoor cooking

Endless entertainment & gathering spaces:

- Pool table, ping pong, and darts
- Downstairs bar area perfect for hanging out
- Board games galore + a high-top table made for long Scrabble nights
- 3 Smart TVs when you want to wind down

Something truly unique:

A cute, 'hidden down the hill' treehouse that brings you even closer to the views and the feeling of being suspended above the valley

Every detail of this home invites you to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the moment—whether that’s sharing meals, playing games late into the night, or just sitting quietly taking in the view.

This isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a place you’ll remember.
