About this property

The Mountain House | Stunning Views | 4WD required

  • Escape to a peaceful mountain retreat where the views steal the show. This spacious 5-bedroom chalet offers the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and room to gather—whether you’re here to explore nearby trails or simply unwind and take it all in. If you are visiting Sweet Briar college, this is the spot for you and your family!



    A quick note before you continue to read about this wonderful property...the driveway is long and hilly, and at some points rocky. 4WD is REQUIRED to the STUNNING property at the peak. If you are looking for a smooth, short driveway and a more suburban or normal neighborhood setting, this is not the place for you. If you are in search of a magical property in the sky, that takes someone who understands true mountain life (or is willing to try), look no further. ALL vehicles must be 4WD. Parking cars at the bottom of the driveway is not permitted.



    The views are simply unmatched. Stretching across the entire valley, they’re stunning by day—but at night, they become something unforgettable. Gather around the fire pit under a sky full of stars and take in a panoramic view that truly makes you feel like you’re on top of the world.



    Inside, the home blends cozy mountain charm with plenty of space to gather and unwind. The soaring A-frame ceilings create a warm, open atmosphere, while the large, fully stocked kitchen and oversized dining table make it easy to bring everyone together.



    What you’ll love:



    - 5 spacious, ultra-comfortable bedrooms : 1 California King, 2 Kings, 1 Queen and an additional room with a queen bed

    - 3 Full and 2 bathrooms conveniently located

    - Expansive deck with outdoor dining and breathtaking views

    - Screened-in porch for slow mornings and peaceful evenings

    - Fire pit with some of the best nighttime views you’ll ever see

    - Outdoor loungers for soaking in the mountain air

    - Walking trails right on the property

    - Grill for easy outdoor cooking



    Endless entertainment & gathering spaces:



    - Pool table, ping pong, and darts

    - Downstairs bar area perfect for hanging out

    - Board games galore + a high-top table made for long Scrabble nights

    - 3 Smart TVs when you want to wind down



    Something truly unique:



    A cute, 'hidden down the hill' treehouse that brings you even closer to the views and the feeling of being suspended above the valley



    Every detail of this home invites you to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the moment—whether that’s sharing meals, playing games late into the night, or just sitting quietly taking in the view.



    This isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a place you’ll remember.

Wow! What a property. We rented for a weekend with family to attend a wedding nearby. It was perfect and so much fun! Plenty of room for all of us and so well appointed. Host was so helpful and this was just an epic experience on an epic property. If you are even thinking about this property just book it. You won’t regret it. In fact, you’ll have memories for a lifetime.

Rental is beautiful. The house is well stocked with kitchen needs and has many games if the weather is bad. The owner was amazing at communication. It definitely required 4 wheel drive, but this was made abundantly clear before our stay. If you are trailering anything, I would make arrangements to store the trailer somewhere other than the property. We had a great time.

Mixed feelings on this property. The home is beautiful and in an amazing location with gorgeous views. It has everything you could want for a fun stay. However, it should be noted before booking that you must have 4 wheel or all wheel drive in order to get up to the house. It is a long, steep, rocky driveway. Two of our vehicles were not able to get up. We had a few minor housekeeping issues and were surprised to find out we were responsible for bringing all garbage to a facility 20 minutes away upon departure.

This property is stunning! Yes the driveway is steep, which we initially hadn’t seen that in previous reviews. However, immediately after booking, Anna sent me a message letting me know the driveway is steep and would need a 4WD or an AWD vehicle. She gave me the option to cancel if we were not up for the adventure. She also included a you tube video demonstrating the drive. We were up for the challenge, we rented a 4WD suv and it made it to the top no problem and was 100% worth the views and the solitude. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The host was very communicative and I knew I could message her at any time and she would respond. My only disappointment was that our personal schedules didn’t allow us to stay longer. Thank you for sharing your beautiful space with us, making us feel so welcome and taking care of us.
