Escape to a peaceful spot in the beautiful valley between Bright and Harrietville, surrounded by natural bushland and mountain views. Set on 8 hectares, this holiday retreat offers a quiet space to unwind while still being close to everything you need.
With no close neighbours, this place is perfect if you're looking for some downtime and fresh mountain air. It’s an easy drive to the nearby towns of Bright (14 km) and Harrietville (12 km), where you'll find great local food and a friendly country vibe.
If you're up for some outdoor fun, you're in the right spot. The Murray to Mountains Rail Trail is just outside your door and the Ovens River is nearby for a refreshing dip. From mountain biking and dirt biking to skiing and fishing, there are plenty of activities to keep you entertained, or simply kick back and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
The main house has a practical open-plan layout with a kitchen, dining and living area featuring a wood heater for cosy nights in. The large deck outside is perfect for summer BBQs and watching the stars come out.
There are three comfortable queen bedrooms in the main house, and a separate barn adds extra space with its own queen bedroom, a simple bathroom and a large laundry. This makes it great for bigger groups or families who need a bit more room.
The barn also has a bunkroom that kids will love, with bunks, a comfy lounge area, beanbags and a TV to keep them entertained. It’s got its own wood heater and easy access to the rustic barn bathroom, plus a short path that connects it to the main house.
With plenty to do and space for everyone, this holiday spot is a solid choice for a relaxing getaway. Whether you're here for the adventure or just to chill, it’s a place where you can make memories that’ll bring you back year after year.

Thank you Anthony for letting us host your stay at Feathertop Views and Barn. We hope to see you back in Bright again. Kind regards, Bright Escapes Team
Our second year with friends at Feathertop Views and Barn. The Barn is perfect for the kids. Perfect spot to get up to Hotham and back and then relax at the farmhouse by the fire in the evening.

Thank you for the review Jamieson. We hope you will contact us again when next visiting the area. Regards The Bright Escapes team.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Very clean and oh so user friendly with all the mod cons. The welcome gift was a very pleasant surprise and greatly appreciated after a looong drive.
Scenery and outlook was spot on as was the Milky Way of a night time - the kids loved it.
Highly recommend it.
Thanks muchly.

Thankyou for lovely review Matthew, we hope you will contact us at Bright Escapes when next visiting the area. Regards The Bright Escapes team.
We only needed a place to sleep after we go up Mt Hotham and Fallscreek, but we never thought we’ll have a best sleep in there. The place was very relaxing, clean and complete. The outdoor activities also excited the kids, how ofter do they get go cut woods and make their own bonfires in the metro?? Thank you so much for letting us enjoy your cozy place, God bless your home🙏

We appreciate the feedback Ethel! We are glad your family had a comfortable time here. We look forward to hosting you in the future. Regards, The Bright Escapes Team.
Feathertop Views was a stunning setting for our family weekend. The house was extremely comfortable and clean. It had everything we needed. The clouds lifted o our last day and we had the magnificent view of Feathertop with a scattering of snow. It was great being close to Bright.
