🚗 Getting Around
A car is essential for exploring the area, as Skyline Retreat sits high in the mountains for maximum privacy and panoramic views. The roads are paved and well-maintained, but we recommend AWD or 4WD during winter months or in inclement weather.
You’ll be just minutes from the Nelson 151 Trail, featuring award-winning wineries, craft breweries, hiking trails, and scenic overlooks — most within a 10–20 minute drive. Ample on-site parking makes arrivals and departures effortless for groups or families.
Prefer to sit back and enjoy the ride? Local tour companies offer private wine and brewery transportation, an ideal option for girls’ weekends, bachelorette celebrations, or romantic escapes.
We want your stay at Skyline Retreat to be unforgettable! Please note the home is located on a mountain road—while fully accessible, AWD/4WD is recommended during winter months or inclement weather.
This three-story lodge features exposed beams, cozy stairs between levels, and a fun secret room—perfect for adventure but may not be ideal for very young children or guests with mobility concerns.
We’ve designed this home with comfort, style, and mountain charm in mind. In return, we ask guests to treat it with care and respect—especially in shared spaces and outdoor areas.
Quiet hours begin at 10 p.m. to preserve the peaceful surroundings and respect our mountain neighbors.
Wildlife Notice
Skyline Retreat is nestled deep in the natural landscape of Afton Mountain, and local wildlife regularly roams the area—including a black bear that often walks through the neighborhood and occasionally checks out the trash cans. Please secure all trash, keep food inside, and follow posted guidelines to help keep everyone—guests and wildlife—safe.
Note on Country Living & Pest Control
Our homes are located in the beautiful Virginia countryside, where you’ll enjoy mountain views, fresh air, and quiet natural surroundings. With this setting comes the reality of nature—including the occasional visit from local insects.
We maintain a proactive pest control program with quarterly and seasonal treatments at every property. While this greatly reduces activity, it’s not possible to eliminate every bug entirely, especially in warmer months.
Thank you for understanding that a few sightings are a natural part of the rural experience—and part of the charm of being surrounded by the Blue Ridge!
Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions—we’re here to make your stay seamless and special.
