We truly loved and enjoyed our stay in this warm house for a lovely Thanksgiving holiday at Wintergreen. The home was the perfect size for us – parents, daughter, son and his fiancée. We joined other family members staying at another Wintergreen home for Thanksgiving dinner and the house gave us a cozy respite from the larger crowd! We really enjoyed our family card game next to the warm cozy fire. We found everything we needed and felt right at home. If our plans take us to Wintergreen again next year we will definitely come back! We strongly recommend it to others.

This is a story about five women who came to this mountain to stay in the comfortable cottage to have a meeting of the minds, mixed with lots of food and cocktails.
We sang Happy Birthday.
We brainstormed about how to grow our business.
We ate tacos, spaghetti, doughnuts and coffee cake and anything else we could find.
We saw a live motor boat, flashed each other and saw what beautiful lips really look like.
We played Never have I ever, Truth or Dare, 2 Truths and a Lie and acted like teenagers.
We sang karaoke at the tope of our lungs.
And we found out that we had more in common than we have different.
Here’s to a charming cottage in the woods with good food and great company.

The 4 Quebec Province cyclists really appreciated the location of your charming house.For us the ultimate advantage was having the Blue Ridge Parkway just behind the house. During our one week stay,we did cycled part of he Skyline Drive, part of the Blue Ridge Parkway, have also biked
Nellysford, Waynesboro,Charlotteville and Stauton and we stopped in Batesville for a home made Ice Cream Cone.
The house was very confortable, the resort so huge and clean. We were definitely very impressed.
The average temperature for the week was 90 F, a little bit hot, but we took the time to cool down at the Chestnut Pool just nearby, and this on a daily basis. Just Perfect.
Thank again and be sure that we will greatly recommend your place

| We had lots of fun for the week while were staying in your house. The weather was excellent. We enjoyed the nearby trails and encounters with the local bears, deers, and weasels. The house was great, comfortable and managed to keep the guests happy. We enjoyed a local day trip to the Natural Bridge via the Blue Ridge Parkway (highly recommended) and the Monocan Lake down in the valley. The Copper Mine has a great steak. Thanks! |

Thanks so much for letting us stay in your lovely home! We really enjoyed the weekend of June 10-12 that we spent up in the mountains! All eight of us -- grandparents, parents and four kids -- found the house to be particularly cozy. The sleeping arrangements were very comfortable! We are from New Jersey. We loved exploring the area and hiking the trails. The waterfall was fantastic! That was truly a delightful experience. We hope that we can come back again someday! Thanks again!

My friends and I picked a perfect home for our spring break getaway! This house was so cozy and had everything we needed. We especially loved the wood stove and the beautiful and spacious master bedroom. The cabin-like feeling inside the house was neat. What a perfect place to come home to after a day at the slopes! Thank you so much! We hope to return soon.

We arrived on Wednesday evening to an ice storm and when we left on Sunday, it was close to 70 oF! A little bit of winter wonderland and some great hiking weather --- All in the same weekend. We had a great time. It was a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday in the mountain. Your cabin is just perfect!!

We just returned from an April getaway, full of peace and quiet and great hikes. Plus the tennis courts, spa, and devils knob grill were just down the hill. The house had many brochures for local attractions and trail maps, along with good dvd selection and well equipped kitchen. The owner made the rental process easy with clear directions and contact numbers. What an enjoyable rental!!

| We had a really nice time in your cabin + in Witergreen, skiing, snowboarding, pool, sleeping. Our party of 7, from NC and Lake Charles, LA, slept easily and comfortably. We loved the house, very cozy! Our 3 boys loved your movie selection. They liked the Lord of the Rings. Everyone had a lot of fun. We will definitely use your place in the future and highly recommended. |

| December 31st to January 6th 2005 -2006!! We, 8 seniors of VCU, had so much fun this week, even if we couldn’t remember the date. We lost track of time and date. Even though we thought we had an extra day it was fun. The house was beautiful, which was our perfect house for a week. I can’t think of a better way to spend New Year’s Eve! I have had the best week ever! Thank you so much for sharing your house with us. There were so many memories from our stay that we’ll take with us! Thanks for all the happiness! |

| Visited in January 2006. We loved the house, very cozy and a great location. The Lindsey's were great to work with and made renting their home easy. The home was well stocked and has everything you need. We hope to return next year. |

| We had a great time. The home is on top of the mountain next to the Appalachian Trail - more on the out skirts of the resort which is just what we were looking for. We hiked, played tennis on the mountain and exercised and swam at the spa. Another day we spent in the valley swimming and playing tennis. We also ate in 2 of the resort's restaurants for dinner. Both were excellent. |

Well, what can I say, it seems its all been said.
In May 2005, some American friends and I spent 2 weeks in this perfect house, set apart from nearby dwellings, yet part of Wintergreen as a whole, with all of it's facilities. At anybody's standard, this house is rated top of the range. It has everything you might want.
For a garden lover (with so many public parks and estates nearby) or a wine lover (with dozens of wineries in the area), or a hiker (5 minutes from the Appalachian Trail), or a skier, the location is wonderful.
There is a huge selection of DVDs and videos, plus cable TV, dishwasher, microwave, etc. The fireplace is very special.
The Lindseys are super people to deal with and we look forward to having them in South Africa soon.

| A great place to celebrate a first year birthday and a family get-together! Our daughter's first birthday was memorable. Thanks so much for allowing us to rent the nice place. The house was well stocked and comfortable for 11 of us (8 adults and 3 children). We hope to use it again sometime in the future. |

| Thank you so much for the use of your wonderful house. We were there last weekend with my parents and my sister and her family to celebrate my parent's 40th wedding anniversary. The house was very cozy and comfortable. We especially loved the fact that we could walk to several hiking trails!! My niece (4) and my nephew (6) thought the purple unicorn was great. Thanks again!! |

This mountain home was cozy and comfortable meeting almost all of our needs. It was well furnished and clean. Blankets, linens and towels were plentiful and space fit four adults and four teenagers comfortably. Adults played cards and children watched movies at night. Loft was a little small so boys slept on sofas. Wood stove provided warmth and wood was plentiful. A wonderful winter ski weekend. Check in and check out conducive to getting the most out of your vacation. We look forward to next time.

| This was our third stay at the house but the first one on our own. We went in the fall to see the fall foliage and were lucky enough to hit very close to peak. We stayed two nights and spent our time walking, sleeping, eating and watching the excellent selection of new release movies available in the house. Our favourite part of the house is the cathedral ceiling in the main room and the master bedroom - the spaciousness complements the view of trees out the windows. We love it there and can't imagine anyone being disappointed with a visit to the house or the resort! It's the perfect place to spend a few days in a log cabin and commune with nature. |

| This is our third visit to this great Wintergreen get-away, and we have begun to relate to it as a comfortable second home for ourselves. The surrounding woods at this season have given us 20-degree temperature relief from the heat and humidity in the lowlands, and offer solitude and serenity.., especially on days when passing clouds have engulfed us in a cool fog that seems almost magical. We have enjoyed passing deer, squirrels and chipmunks, and relished the absence of traffic or any other ambient or even neighborhood noises. We have taken great advantage of the TreeHouse children's programs, tennis clinics & round robins, pools and yoga classes. It's a safe and happy house that we are grateful to return to for quiet R&R time, and has helped us determine to purchase property here of our own. |

| Our family stayed at this lovely home in Wintergreen for a week during July, 2003. The house provides plenty of space--including kids, there were 9 of us! We especially enjoyed the porch swing and appreciated the selection of DVD's for those rainy afternoons. The pool and spa are just a short drive away and Wintergreen itself is a really neat place to visit. The owner's were extremely helpful and made the rental process very simple! I would strongly recommend renting this home to anyone thinking of going to the Wintergreen area. Enjoy! |

Comment Text: My husband and our kids, ages 3 and 5 spent 8 nights here during the torrential rains of June 2003. The house was so wonderfully removed from the rest of the Wintergreen development, situated at the end of Laurel Springs Drive, mere footsteps from the Old Appalachian Trail, but only 5 or so mintues from the whole mountain center. We enjoyed the front porch swing (especially in the heavy rains), the remote and quiet setting,the spaciousness of the house, the BBQ, the collection of DVDs and videos, and that we were able to sleep close to our kids. We used the upstairs suite more as a playroom for the kids, and my husband used it on a day he had to work from Wintergreen. Lots of great hiking, but too wet for mountain biking. And our kids LOVED the Treehouse childcare program. Also enjoyed the Chestnut Springs pool on the couple days we had sunshine. Wintergreen is the closest we have found to the kind of atmosphere we have enjoyed during the summer at Whistler,BC (we are originally from Vancouver). Wintergreen is not the west coast, but a great substitute when living in DC. The trip home to Bethesda took 3 hours exactly on Sunday afternoon, and it took about 3 1/2 hours to get there on a Saturday afternoon. A great break with lots to do, even in the rain. And we are hoping to return at the end of the summer. Highly recommended. A great value for the money. We could have easily shared the space with another couple or a one child couple.

| My family stayed in this charming mountain house over Thanksgiving as a HomeExchange guest. It was everything we expected and more. All the comforts of home, in an absolutely breathtaking setting. You're sure to enjoy the natural surroundings. The mountain views are beautiful. We'd love to return for any season. |
