About this property

Modern Luxe Treetop Retreat w/Gas Fire Pit, Steps to Ski & Hike!

Come relax in this fully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath house nestled in the trees in Wintergreen! Two luxurious bedrooms on the main level for adults, and a cool loft hangout space for up to six kids! The home is ideally located with instant access to Wintergreen Ski Resort's slopes and miles of hiking trails. Spend your days outdoors, visiting local vineyards and breweries, leaf peeping or on the slopes before returning for a cookout on the deck and story-telling around the fire pit! The 'Treetop Chalet' features new high-end furnishings, fast internet, luxury bedding, and a stocked gourmet kitchen. Explore outside or recharge inside – the choice is yours!

We designed this cozy, vintage, updated chalet for maximum efficiency and comfort. Vaulted shiplap ceilings, exposed beams, four flat screen TVs, updated fixtures and luxury furnishings surround you.

The main level has an open concept kitchen, dining and living space. The kitchen is stocked with oils, spices, baking basics (even squirrel and bear cookie cutters!) and stainless steel appliances. The knives are sharp, pots are new, and if you'd rather spend your day on the slopes, the crockpot feeds a crowd. The dining table expands to seat 10, and the large, plush leather sofa in the living area is a great space to pile in for movie night. The stone wood-burning fireplace is available for your use, and we've included instructions that make it easy to light. The BlueTooth surround sound system hooks to your phone with the touch of a button, and the house is stocked with books and games. We've even supplied a telescope for stargazing and wildlife spotting! It's easy to come in, relax, and feel at home.

The two main floor bedrooms and bathrooms were designed to help guests rest and recharge after active days on the mountain. The luxury memory foam mattresses are new, and topped with plush velvet quilts and linen cotton duvets. There are plenty of pillows, lots of storage space, luggage racks, and at least 4 USB ports in each room. The “Blue Ridge” king bedroom has a gorgeous seasonal mountain view; there's nothing like seeing the colors of a sunrise peeking through the Blue Ridge mountains. The “Wintergreen” king bedroom has a dedicated work space, and both rooms have two high powered fans each. The bathrooms have heated tile floors, granite countertops and are stocked with luxury amenities, a first aid kit, hair dryers, and plenty of clean, fluffy towels. There is a washer and dryer in the cabin, with laundry soap supplied.

Outside you'll find a large deck with gorgeous seasonal mountain views and a view of the Lower Tyro ski slope. In the spring and summer, the mountains are hidden by the treetops, making this feel like your own private treehouse. A gas grill is provided for easy, year round grilling. The deck dining table expands to seat a crowd, and the gas fire pit turns on with the touch of a button. All the ambiance and warmth of a fire pit with none of the work! The fire pit is under a covered portion of the deck, so you can sit by the fire, enjoy the complimentary bottle of wine we gift each guest(one per booking) and watch the snow fall. The front of the home has an exterior ski closet and a free EV charger.

The third floor sleeping loft at the top of the spiral staircase is a kid and teen dream! The “Cub Den” houses six twin beds (two sets of bunks and two trundles) so all the kids can sleep together. The room has two high powered fans, more USB ports than we can count, and individual bunk reading lights, charging outlets, and storage shelves. The entertainment space has games, puzzles, a Roku TV, and a video game console stocked with vintage Nintendo games. It might be hard to get them to come down and join the adults! The loft overlooks the main living area, and the opening can be closed with the sound and light blocking curtains.

This Treetop Chalet is a perfect getaway for families making memories together or couples seeking a cozy, romantic getaway.

Guests can walk from the Treetop Chalet to the Lower Tyro ski slope in less than one minute. That makes coming home for lunch during a busy day of skiing easy! It's that same distance to the hiking trail entrance. The location is perfect for families with lots of different activity and endurance levels! Park your car, avoid the crowded lodge and lines, and ski in and out as you like!

Guests will have access to the owner's Wintergreen Loyalty Group membership for the duration of their stay. The WLG offers perks and discounts to dozens of local businesses, including 15% off at the Ski Barn for rentals, 10% off most breweries, and more!

You'll access the home via a keyless entry touchpad. Your welcome and check in is contactless, for your safety and privacy. Parking is simple, three spots right in front of the home. No long walks lugging groceries or gear - the front door is 3 steps from the parking area. You'll have access to the full house, with the exception of the locked owner's closet and basement storage area.

The cabin, like most Wintergreen properties, does not have central air. It is typically 10 degrees cooler on the mountain than in the valley, and because of that, guests are usually very comfortable just opening the windows. There are two high powered fans in each room if you like it cooler.

This property is about 1230 square feet. It is designed to accommodate families, and is not well suited to groups of 10 adults. We're sad to say you will want to choose another property for your big girl or guy getaway. Plugging in all those hairdryers and running them at once will trip the circuit - trust us!

We're looking forward to welcoming you!

Loved it!
Super cozy and spacious cabin. Clean, kitchen filled with all the necessary items, comfy beds, board games, DVD’s, and great hosts. The only issue we had is that there was NO firewood. We bought some, but would have liked to have had firewood under the house as represented in the listing. Everything else was perfect.

Great place
We stayed here to enjoy the slopes. We enjoyed the home and found it more than adequate for our needs. Nice and cozy after long days skiing! Bummer that the slope was closed by the house but was still very close driving to the resort.

Lovely - would book again
Great rental! Super clean, well-stocked kitchen, loved the heated bathroom floors, wood burning fireplace, lots of nice cozy blankets to cuddle up under after a day on then slopes. Cool books and games and all the tv’s worked properly. We really liked the layout of the home. It was cozy but spacious and well decorated. Lots of attention to details that often get overlooked at a ski rental like abundant coat hooks and extra propane so you know you can use the grill. I know some of these details might sound silly, but we really appreciated them. I have had plenty of rentals where the master bedroom had a tv, but you couldn’t use it, or there was a gas grill but no propane. We were a family of four- kids ages 19 and 10. The communication with the property manager was also great.

Great Experience
This home was located in an excellent location, just off the Tyro slope, with just a short walk to Tyro, where we could then board down to the Acorn lift. The home was in excellent condition and had all of the little things that you would want in your own personal home. Thank you to the host whom was a pleasure to work with.

About the host

Hosted by Danessa Knaupp

Host profile image
My husband Jonathan and I, and our six children, live in Virginia. We love to travel, and in the 2020 pandemic, invested in real estate in the Blue Ridge mountains to scratch that itch! We're now happy to be VRBO hosts as well as guests, and are delighted to once again be able to roam the world!

Why they chose this property

This property spoke to us from the street! It wasn't even listed when we first saw it, and we fell in love. We knew it would be a perfect place to retreat with our teenagers and would provide them plenty of option to relax, hike and ski, and make memories. We love it here in the treetops year-round, and hope you will too.

What makes this property unique

The Treetop Chalet's location can't be beat: steps to ski and hike but set back from the noise and activity of the snowblowers and skiers. We love to park our car and walk to the slope, hiking trails, overlooks, and Market.
