Location: Wintergreen, Virginia, USA (35 Miles from Charlottesville, Virginia)
Accommodations: Condominium, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)
Whether you are a skier, snowboarder, golfer, tennis player, hiker, or cyclist, or perhaps you merely enjoy reading a good book by a warm fire, a Wintergreen getaway is just what you need. At nearly 4000 feet astride the Blue Ridge Mountains, adjacent to the Appalachian Trail and Blue Ridge Parkway, Wintergreen has become a four-season resort that will provide a natural backdrop for whatever you like to do. And what better way to enjoy all that Wintergreen has to offer than a stay at a luxury, two bedroom condominium with a view that can only be described as "breathtaking?"
Our family had stayed at Wintergreen before, both in the summer and winter seasons, and had enjoyed each stay enormously. When it came time to look for a vacation home, we naturally focused on Wintergreen. We hoped to acquire one of the newest condos on the mountain, but our highest priority was to be located on the ridgeline where the views are best. With a great deal of luck, we were able to find a place that met all of our expectations, and we would like to share it with you.
The master suite features a king-size bed, with its own door onto the deck. The views are gorgeous, to the east primarily, but you can also see westward into the Shenandoah Valley. This room has a 20-inch cable TV with built-in DVD. The master bath has a double vanity, Jacuzzi tub, walk-in shower, and walk-in closet. The second bedroom has a queen-size bed, a closet, and is adjacent to the second bath, which contains a full tub/shower.
The living room is large and airy, and has a fireplace (with all the free firewood you can use), a home theatre system with 37-inch LCD Hi-Def cable TV, the ability to play DVDs, CDs, and your iPod, (we have over 50 movies, for kids and adults, but be sure to bring some of your favorites), a Nintendo 64 game, a leather sleeper sofa (full-size bed), and two side chairs. The living room has a door opening to the deck, which has a table for dining in the warmer months and a grill for outdoor cooking. The dining room has a six-person table and, like the living room, features oversized windows looking eastward. The view is amazing, and you can see the ski slopes below, Charlottesville to the northeast, and even the glow of Richmond at night some 70 miles away.
The kitchen has new appliances, including refrigerator, electric range with smooth cooking surface, dishwasher, disposal, combination range hood/microwave, and most every small appliance and utensil you could need. The condominium has a full-size washer and dryer, and an outside ski locker for storing wet and icy gear out of the way. The unit is on the second floor, but an elevator makes loading and unloading a breeze. The building also has available covered parking, further protecting you from the weather. Cleaning service after your departure is included in your rates. Our condominium is No Smoking, No Pets for everyone’s enjoyment.
We now have a WiFi DSL hi-speed internet connection in the condo, so you can use your laptop inside or on the deck to keep up with e-mail and the office.
Our building is across the street from the Devil’s Knob Golf Course and tennis facility, which also boasts an excellent restaurant. Adjacent to Devil’s Knob is the Wintergarden Spa, with fitness facilities, indoor pool, and spa treatments. The ski area, shopping, and other restaurants are a five-minute drive, or you can take a free shuttle bus that runs every 15 minutes and stops outside our door. There are numerous hikes that you can tackle without driving at all (including the Appalachian Trail), while the nearby Blue Ridge Parkway is perfect for cycling or cross country skiing.

This was our most enjoyable stay at Wintergreen. The condo is fantastic! We loved the décor. We loved the view. We loved the proximity to the slopes. Our trip was a last-minute impulse and your posting seemed too good to be true. Previous rental experiences have taught us to keep our expectations low. However, we were delightfully surprised when we arrived. It felt like home. All of the details you've provided didn't go unnoticed. I cooked breakfast, lunch, and dinner and didn't have to "make do" one time. You've equipped the kitchen with every gadget I could think of, and then some! I don't ski, but the rest of the family does. I was able to read, cook, and enjoy the view while my family played in the snow. Being able to meet them for a mid-day 'picnic' was so much fun. After skiing all day the kids were exhausted, but somehow managed to squeeze in some time playing the Nintendo 64. I had the best night's sleep in ages. The mattress in the master bedroom was wonderful. (I'm hoping to replace mine with one just like it!) The down blankets were a very nice touch, too. Everything was perfect. Don't change a thing! Thank you for accommodating our schedule and allowing us to stay a couple of extra hours, too. It made the trip much more relaxing. We hope to visit again soon.

A quick note to say how much we enjoyed your condo. Beautifully decorated and with all the comforts of home! We've been to Wintergreen many times, but finding a place to stay was always a problem because the condos rented by the resort are so variable. We're glad we tried something different! The cool mountaintop was a welcome relief from the sultry weather here in Charleston, and the golf at Devils Knob challenging--those greens are murder! We'll be BAAAAACK (if we may!)

Bill and I absolutely loved the time we spent in your condo. What a beautiful place! You did everything right: Egyptian cotton sheets on the bed, thick towels in the bathroom, every (new) gadget and appliance one could want. You spared no expense and made everything feel luxurious--exactly how you want to feel on vacation. When we arrived late on Sunday night, there were no parking spaces left (we improvised just fine); by Tuesday morning, ours was the only car in the lot! We enjoyed the crowds on the 4th, and the solitude afterward. Thank you for letting us stay a bit later; it gave us almost another full day away. And thank you for your hospitality--you were kind to call on Monday morning. We would love to return.

We enjoyed our weekend in your home thoroughly! The view is absolutely breathtaking. Thank you for thinking of so many little things to make our stay more comfortable. We especially loved the toys, books, and all the other kids' items. Your home is very cozy and when we consider coming back to Wintergreen we'll be calling you!!

Thank you all so much for opening up your beautiful home to us. We, along with our three-year-old daughter, had a fabulous time. Although we went on a "snow hunt" and couldn't find any, we still enjoyed our stay. You have stocked the condo with everything a person could want and more. We really enjoyed your movie collection!! Again, thanks so much. We look forward to coming back again soon.
