New Listing! Welcome to Goldfinch Perch, the most family-friendly home in Wintergreen. The kids will be fully entertained with the on-site playground, 13' spiral slide, indoor climbing area, toddler village, nerf gun wall, arcades, and more. And that will allow YOU to enjoy the hot tub, barrel sauna, fire pit, and gorgeously decorated interior. With 6 bedrooms, the home sleeps 16 comfortably. Plus, pet friendly! Managed by Chris at New School Hosting.
The house is a 5 minute walk to the Tyro ski slope, or feel free to drive 3 minutes down the road to access all the slopes, dining, and other Wintergreen attractions. If you’re willing to venture a bit further, some of the best hiking trails in the state are off the Blue Ridge Parkway (15 minutes from the house), and there are over dozen wineries, breweries, and distilleries within a 30 minute drive. During the summer, enjoy Sherando Lake and Lake Monocan with sandy beach entrances, or take a dip in the heated community pool.

Tips for a Happy Hot Tub
- Be sure to unclip the hot tub cover before removing it.
- Please do not put anything besides people in the hot tub (like mulch or toys).
- If the water level doesn’t cover the jets, you can use the hose to add water. Please disconnect the hose when done, especially in cold weather when it could freeze.
- Always put the cover on the hot tub when not in use - this keeps the hot tub warm & filled with water. Using the plastic clips helps keep it from blowing off.
- For safety reasons, please don’t add chemicals to the hot tub yourself. If the water looks murky or has a smell, let us know, and we'll have our hot tub expert come by to treat it.
- Do not drain the hot tub.
- There's no need to turn off the hot tub. It may run the jets on low periodically to circulate water through the filter—that’s totally normal.
- Use plastic drinkware around the hot tub.
