About the host
Hosted by Nathan Van Orden
We purchased Briarpatch at Wintergreen Resort in 2010 with the intention of having a Family Retreat that could be rented on a limited basis. We hope other families will enjoy our home as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
We chose Wintergreen because my wife grew up having a family home on the mountain and my husband had been a visitor to Wintergreen since its founding. We enjoy the fact that this is a four seasons resort with hiking, fishing, skiing and year around activity. We also enjoy being near the Virginia Horse Center and the variety of horse activities close to Wintergreen. We also enjoy visiting the many towns that are reasonably close to Wintergreen and find the central location ideal for day trips within the region. We hope you enjoy Wintergreen and Nelson County as much as we do.
