Great home
Great home minutes from the slopes. House is even more spacious than I anticipated. Driveway is very steep, but manageable, property owners gave us plenty of salt and were very quick to respond with any needs. Would definitely visit again!

VA MOUNTAINS ADVENTURE
We had a wonderful adventure. One important item to bring to your attention: The kitchen side door is bolted shut! I was blindsided by this and would have appreciated knowing what to expect. It made me anxious to think you might think I was responsible!

Response from VrboOwner on Apr 20, 2024
Thanks Deborah. All doors have a deadbolt lock for security reasons. They can easily be unlocked. If you had issues with the door we would have gladly walked you through how to unlock the doors. Sorry that concerned you, we wish you would have reached out to us during your stay to either wall you through it, or send our property manager over to assist. Thank you!

Mountain retreat
Steep driveway a bit of problem. We parked at the bottom of the hill. We bought firewood but it would be a nice feature to include. The kitchen is large and well stocked for cooking but needs organized to find things. More tourist information would be helpful. We bought a map and put in the binder. Instructions for the TVs would be helpfu for those unfamiliar with the technology. Comfortable beds and efficient heater. Beautiful surroundings! Luckily no bear sightings but important not to leave ANY food items in cars!

Loved the cabin
All the amenities that came with the cabin rental were awesome. The only bad thing i have to say is the location of the beach and the pool were hard to find. I ended up having to call and find out where the were. The cabin was clean, lots of things to do at the cabin, and the rooms were spacious

Loved the house and the size. It fit our group perfectly. The only difficult area for us was the extremely steep driveway, but it was summer so no worries about snow. We were celebrating a 21st birthday for our daughter and she loved it!!

Rainy week at a great week to hunker down.
We got unlucky with weather during our stay. It rained on 5 of the 7 days we were there, which limited our time on the deck and using the included community pool. Fortunately, the weather did not affect our ability to visit many of Nelson County's wineries, cideries and breweries. The house was a perfect size for our group of 2 couples and a 12 year old. There would have been room for several more kids. The 12 year old appreciated the video game consoles and played Zelda all week. I've been to rental properties in Wintergreen several times now. This house is the best value I've seen and has everything you would need. The driveway is steep but was manageable. I parked at the top and didn't have any trouble with traction. The other family's pickup truck needed to engage 4 wheel drive a time or two on wet days. I do wonder about winter snow days, but we visited in June. The driveway wouldn't impact my decision to stay here even in winter.

Lovely chalet in the Shenandoah Valley
We were two couples looking for a comfortable base for a 4-day exploration in the Shenandoah Valley. This property completely met our needs and expectations. The bedrooms were plenty large enough and beds comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and there was a generous collection of spices and condiments. The entertainment center was first class and the addition of a Netflix account was a plus. We would certainly stay here again if the opportunity arises. Good choice!

Amazing Home with panoramic views
This was our first time staying in this gorgeous home. So happy we brought our 4wd due to the residual ice and steep drive. The views are gorgeous and this home has everything you need. It was perfect for our family of 5. We took advantage of the weather early in the week and it made for perfect skiing. We went tubing and had a blast. Thank you.

Beautiful Home in a Beautiful Location!
We went with family & friends for a long weekend away. The house was great for a multi-family stay, with lots of space in the living room & kitchen for us to gather. The house is set in the mountains, so as the listing says, be prepared for a steep driveway! Located near lots of great hiking paths and overlooks. If you're looking for a quiet getaway, this is it!

Beautiful and well stocked mountain chalet in the trees
We had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful home for a long weekend over Labor Day. There were 5 adults and 1 child (9 yr old) and there was plenty of room for us all. The house is STUNNING with it's lovely, palatial windows and forest view. I felt like we were in a beautiful tree house on top of a mountain. The beds are extremely comfortable with really nice linens, and there are 2 fireplaces - a gas fire pit on the deck and a wood burning fire inside. The kitchen has been recently remodeled and had everything we needed to nest and cook at the home without going out, including a nice coffee maker and gas burning grill on the deck. And the location is fantastic as well. Even though we weren't there during ski season, there were multiple trails within walking distance from the house or a short drive that we did and very much enjoyed. I highly recommend the Upper Shamokin Falls for those looking for a few rock scrambles, and the Shamokin Nature Trail if you are looking for a shorter, beautiful hike. We had one minor issue with the property (nothing of the house or home owners fault) that we had to contact the property owner about and he responded immediately, walking us through resolving it, and was fantastic to work with. Thanks for allowing us to use your home and for such a wonderful experience!

Great weekend getaway
We spent 4 nights at Shamokin Chalet during a very snowy holiday weekend. Proximity to ski resort was about a 5 min drive. Layout was good for a small family, beds were reasonably comfortable. Access to the house was our primary challenge in the conditions. We had to park at the bottom of a steep driveway and carry belongings in and out via many show-covered stairs. This would be much too treacherous for anyone with mobility issues. Host was very responsive to our few inquiries.

Best experience brining in the New Year
We came with family and friends to enjoy a ski trip for the New Year, but a week before we arrived, we found out the slopes were closed due to warm weather. We decided to make the best of it and came anyway to get away for New Year’s Eve. It turned out to be the best weekend! We were able to stay one more day when the snow decided to make an appearance on our last day! We truly enjoyed the home to relax in, the fireplace was warm and comforting and the entertainment space was perfect for quality time with family & friends! I highly recommend this rental in Wintergreen! Thank you for the great experience! Kindest Regards, Heather Marie Miss Virginia for America 2021

Fantastic Mountain House
The house is great for smaller groups of people. The beds in all the rooms are comfortable, the house was very clean and well kept, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything you need for cooking. The owners made check-in super easy and allowed us to check-in early which was great and the owners respond quickly to any questions you have prior to check-in. The house is stocked with firewood and the fireplace is great with everything you need to manage the fire during the colder months. The television in the den has a Roku that can access all the streaming apps and various channels to watch sports etc. so there’s no issue there. There is a hiking trail two minutes down the road which we took advantage of both days we were there. If there’s anything for people to be aware of it’s the driveway in bad weather, driving up the driveway in any type of inclement weather is not recommended. Overall, I’d absolutely stay at this house again and recommend it to friends.

Great spacious house
House is very nice and comfortable. Kitchen was very well stocked which allowed for some great cooking. House was roomy enough we could all spread out but also be together. Sits on a very steep hill so you feel very secluded with all the trees around. The hill is very steep though so I can not imagine trying to get up to the house in bad weather. Only a few negatives. The back door was very difficult to lock so most of the time we didn't bother trying to lock it. We loaded up all the kids to go to the pool and arrived at 11:30 only to be told it is only owners allowed at that time and we would have to come back at 2 when it is open to guests. Just frustrating because the kids are ready to swim and there was not a single person in the pool. Nothing against the home but I wished this would have been known that the pool has very limited hours for guests. The house is a little difficult to get to as there is only one entrance into the resort complex and it is a drive to get back to the house. You can use trails to get to the Blue Ridge Highway quicker walking than you can by driving. Again nothing against the house I just wish we would have known it is a bit of a drive to get to things. Overall the house is very nice and I would definitely rent it again.

Had a wonderful time at Shamokin Chalet!
This is a great house that had everything we needed for a guys weekend away to watch March Madness. Large flat screen and sectional in the living room made this ideal. Streaming the games on multiple TVs while keeping up with brackets etc. on smart phones was no issue for the internet - signing in on personal phones/devices was a breeze, smart TVs throughout the house (incl. every bedroom) were already online with built-in Rokus for streaming, and the service was fast/reliable. Also ventured out of the house to enjoy the Upper Shamokin Falls Trail – fun hike that I certainly recommend and the trailhead was a mere minutes away from the house! Was a perfect place to spend the weekend with friends but I also definitely plan to return with the family. House has plenty of space but retains a cozy feel with features like the stone fireplace and I know my wife would love to experience the beautiful mountain views we enjoyed (especially at sunrise) through the large windows and the front porch.
