Mountain Barn With Comfort & Charm

This was our third stay at this property and it has always been clean and very nice place to stay at Wintergreen. Super friendly, helpful and communicative owner.

The house was nice; in good shape, nicely furnished, comfortable, and well provisioned. The owners are very quick to respond. One thing to consider is three of four sleeping areas are semi open lofts so if you have people that go to sleep early while others stay up to play it may cause issues. It was just me and the kids so no problems there. I will definately consider this house for future vacations!

Thank you for a great trip!

My husband and I spent the month of August in this house to escape the hot, humid, rainy days of the Florida summer. We couldn't have been happier with the house, the location and the weather. The house had everything we needed +++. The mornings were cool and crisp. The afternoons were sunny and pleasant. The neighboring houses can hardly be seen or heard. The golf courses and hiking trails were all we needed. However, if golf and hiking are not your thing there is plenty to do and see in Nelson county and beyond. We loved the open architecture and mountain decor. We would not hesitate to recommend this house to anyone.

The 'barn' was the perfect family getaway. Cozy but comfortable enough for my kids and parents. Gerri could not have been more welcoming, responsive and accommodating. Great location, close to Chestnut Springs pool and playground, as well as close to the nature center (my kids love!). The best part is the short hike from the back door to Indian Point overlook, which we did daily. Be aware that (as stated in the vrbo summary) all rooms but the master are fully open to the main room so we had to plan a bit to get the kids to bed, but it still worked wonderfully for us. We would stay again. Thanks Gerri!

We were supposed to enjoy a long 4th of July Holiday weekend at this property, but upon arrival, found so many basic maintenance problems which were in fact safety issues, that we could not in good conscious stay there with our 3 small children. Even our children remarked on the poor condition of the house, and that they wanted to leave. We contacted the homeowners shortly after our arrival, who after much back-and-forth, only agreed to give us a partial refund, and then acted like we just being "picky."

Our 3 night/4 day stay was quite expensive in comparison to the accommodations. They kept 40% of our total payment, and meanwhile they re-advertised the property as available for the remainder of our stay. Who knows if they did re-rent it. Essentially we donated six hundred plus to them - which I hope they put to good use to improve the property and all of its problems.

If you enjoy staying in a home where the windows are inoperable (what to do in case of fire?), screens missing, trash discarded around the property, peeling linoleum, mold and a non-functioning land-line telephone (no cell service for emergency calls) and many other issues, then this is the place for you.

Otherwise, there are many fine properties on the mountain, with responsible and reasonable owners, where you can enjoy the many and varied activities that WTG has to offer, and come back to a place where you can feel that your family is safe and comfortable.

No doubt the homeowners will try to defend their actions, and say that we agreed to partial refund - but when someone has your money hostage, what else can you do? I would have pursued the balance in court, but the distance from our home made that option even more of an inconvenience than the homeowners already made for us.

If I could give this place less than 1 star, I would.
