An idyllic haven on the eastern slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Wintergreen offers one-of-a-kind serenity and relaxation. Travelers are promised sweeping views of rippling streams, lush forests, and snow-tipped peaks from the doorstep of their Wintergreen vacation rental, but there’s more than just views on the itinerary. The 4-season Wintergreen Resort offers an unparalleled range of amenities to help you make the most of your peaceful retreat. You can chill out at the full-service spa, hit the links on one of 2 championship golf courses, or head for the great outdoors with winter snowboarding or summer hikes.
The Rockfish Valley’s diverse ecosystem is proudly showcased at the Rockfish Valley Foundation Natural History Center, which is located within walking distance of most central Wintergreen vacation rentals. Open weekends between April and December, this center works to educate visitors on the historical and ecological features of the area. Their displays include a number of preserved native specimens, including black bears and wild turkeys, as well as collections of pelts, rocks, and other artifacts. Some of its most striking exhibits are on loan from the Virginia Museum of Natural History.
The Wintergreen Resort is a major draw for winter sports enthusiasts, who flock here during the colder months to partake in snow tubing, skiing, and snowboarding. The Plunge is a 900 ft snow-tubing hill with 10 lanes and a 100 ft vertical drop. You can reach speeds of up to 40 mph as you whizz past some of the area’s most gorgeous scenery. Twenty-six slopes and 5 lifts making skiing another must in Wintergreen; the 129 acres of skiable terrain cater to all experience levels and 14 slopes are even lit up for night skiing, offering a new perspective on the landscape.
Wintergreen is the ideal base camp to explore the sights of Charlottesville. Vacation homes are available near places like the Virginia Discovery Museum, a children’s museum with interactive exhibits on history and science, and the Rotunda, an iconic university building with notable architecture. You could also visit the Fralin Museum of Art at the University of Virginia, a large museum housing an extensive collection of artwork from different cultures and time periods, and McIntire Park, a city park with woods, streams, and recreational areas.
The resort’s popularity as a snow-sports destination means that Wintergreen vacation rentals are in high demand throughout the winter months. Temperatures are low, with averages falling to 34°F in January, while natural snowfall is bolstered by state-of-the-art snow-making machines. The mercury rises when summer rolls around, with July temperatures hovering around 75°F. Mountain breezes keep things cool, however, and artificial snow is in constant supply, so you'll still be able to hit the slopes. Due to this unique 4-season appeal, vacation rentals in Wintergreen are perennially in vogue.
Part of the Virginia Birding and Wildlife Trail, the Rockfish River Loop Trail spans 6 miles and is a perfect spot for nature enthusiasts and bird-watchers to discover Virginia’s picturesque beauty. These trails also allow leashed dogs, so if you’re staying in a pet-friendly Wintergreen vacation rental, why not treat man’s best friend to a day out of their own? The Nelson Scenic Loop, meanwhile, is a 50-mile drive around Rockfish Valley that offers awe-inspiring views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Crab Tree Falls, and the Appalachian Trail. Farmers markets, breweries, and wineries line the circular route, while spurs lead to hiking, biking, and birding trails.
