About this property

Dream Big in the Blue Ridge Mountains

Bring everybody together in our Blue Ridge Mountain 10,000 square foot home. The home is located in Nellysford's Stoney Creek neighborhood, which is right off of the 151 -- home to many wineries, cideries and breweries. It's about 30 minutes to the Wintergreen Resort, which offers skiing as well as additional golfing, hiking and other adventurous activities.

This home is possibly the largest home available to rent in our area; it was built to host large get-togethers and with that in mind it has been constructed with the finest qualities and details to make everyone feel like they are at their own luxurious home from the moment they step into the house. With floor to ceiling windows, the home gets tons of natural light so no matter the time of year, rain or shine, you can get beautiful mountain views.

You can find yourself tanning and grilling on the deck in the summer, hanging out in the hot tub in the winter (after a long day of skiing), or getting comfy in the large in-house theatre room with some popcorn -- there's something to do any time of day during any season.

The kitchen is fully stocked along with a full coffee and breakfast bar.

There is a full game room, with table games (ping-pong and pool) and many board games.

The theatre room is fully stocked with tons of DVDs.

The libraries have hundreds of books to choose from.

There is ample private parking, enough for 8 full-size cars. Street parking is not permitted. If you need more than this, please contact us in advance.

As our property is nestled amidst beautiful nature, it is not uncommon to have a variety of insects and critters in the area. While we take all necessary measures to ensure your comfort by having the property treated weekly by our pest control team and checked prior to each guest check-in, it is possible that you may come across insects during your time here. Should you have any concerns or require any assistance during your stay, please do not hesitate to reach out to us as we are here to ensure your comfort and address any issues that may arise.

All parts of the home are accessible.

Our house manager Robert is available for anything that you may need during your stay! Please call if needed. If he does not answer, please text him since sometimes cell service is spotty on the mountain.

Best cider in town - located next door to where you’re staying at Bold Rock Cider (try the Pineapple flavor and watch as they have the cider roll off of their assembly line).

Best burger in town - Blue Mountain Brewery. Hands down.

Best fries (and vibe) in town - chill out under the lights at the bonfire, drink a beer and taste the best fries in town at Devil’s Backbone Brewery.

There is so much to do in Wintergreen, Nelson County and beyond! Here are just a few to get you started:

Rockfish Community Center is located near Stoney Creek off of Route 151 the bottom of the mountain - 136 Rockfish School Ln, Nellysford, VA 22958. It has a few shops located inside: Thrift Store, Gem Shop, some ball fields and courts, a playground, and a skate park.

Stoney Creek Park - down the road from the house.

So many hikes all over! Wintergreen Resort has hundreds of hiking trails available for all levels of fitness and interest. Look on their website for details and updates on trails. Paul’s Creek Trail has natural water slides and is a family-friendly hike. Upper Shamokin Falls is a great family hike as well.

Ravens Roost Overlook is a beautiful overlook with a parking lot to see the view and magnificent sunsets.

In addition to the above-mentioned places, there are so many orchards, cideries, breweries, wineries, and distilleries that make route 151 a statewide tourist attraction - let us know of your favorites so we can check those out too!

Need vehicle transportation

For large groups that would like to have a dining table setup for more than 14 guests, we will require advance notice so that we can accommodate and set up a second dining table/area that can seat up to 25 guests (see pictures for this setup). We do this when we host family events/reunions/retreats that would like formal sit-down meals with everyone together.

Gorgeous house in the VA mountains
This house is absolutely stunning and huge - our group loved staying here and found it comfortable, spacious, and the views were incredible. The surrounding area is great for hiking, walking, and enjoying the outdoors. Highly recommend for a large group. Excellent communication with the hosts and property managers as well!

Fall golf weekend in a fabulous house
We have stayed in many houses at the Wintergreen Resort and this is by far the best place. The owner was very responsive from the beginning and allowed us to drop food and luggage prior to the actual check-in time. The house has everything you can imagine and we took advantage of the media room, hot tub and gas grill. We had 12 adults and everyone had their own bed with extra beds to spare. We especially were impressed with all the amenities provided including all of the utensils one could imagine and the two dishwashers. As this is a yearly trip we definitely will be returning. Thank you Sarah and Zee for your hospitality and we look forward to our next visit. Greg S. October, 2023

Incredible, HUGE private home
This home is absolutely HUGE- with hidden closets and unexpected twists and turns. I felt that people kept getting turned around/lost! Absolutely perfect for a multi-family get together. I do think it would have been helpful to have more of a diagram/schematic of the rooms/bathrooms, but it's honestly a well-appointed and easy to fall in love with type of place!
