Scenic A-Frame Near Trails and Wineries
Escape to Peak Retreat, a modern A-frame with mountain views near Skyline Drive, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and local wineries. Enjoy a hot tub, firepit, media room, and chef’s kitchen. With two bedrooms and a loft, it’s perfect for couples, families, or friends exploring Virginia’s wine country and trails. Managed by Koehler Vacation Rentals, offering well-appointed stays in the Blue Ridge.
We want your stay at Peak 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.
The spiral staircase to the loft is beautiful but may not be ideal for small children or guests with mobility concerns. The loft itself is open to the main living area and offers amazing views—just keep in mind it’s best suited for guests who are comfortable with some climbing and less privacy.
We’ve designed this home with luxury and relaxation in mind. In return, we ask guests to treat it with care and respect—especially in shared spaces like the hot tub and media room.
Quiet hours begin at 10 p.m. to preserve the peaceful surroundings and respect our mountain neighbors.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions—we’re here to help make your stay seamless and special!
Guests will have full, private access to the entire home, including the hot tub, media room, and all outdoor spaces.
Check-in is easy and contactless with a secure keypad on the front door. You’ll receive a personalized door code before arrival—no keys to keep track of during your stay!
Parking is available on-site, just steps from the entrance. The home is yours to enjoy from the moment you arrive.
Getting Around
A car is essential for getting around the area, as this home is tucked into the mountains for peace and privacy. The roads are paved and well-maintained, but we recommend AWD or 4WD during winter months or inclement weather.
You’ll be just minutes from wineries, breweries, hiking trails, and scenic overlooks—most attractions are within a 10–20 minute drive. Ample on-site parking makes coming and going easy.
Looking to explore without driving? Local tour companies offer private wine and brewery transportation—perfect for a girls’ weekend or a romantic outing.
We want you to feel completely at home during your stay at Peak Retreat. While we give our guests plenty of space and privacy, we’re just a message away if you need anything—from local recommendations to help with the home.
Our team at Koehler Vacation Rentals is based nearby and available throughout your stay to ensure everything goes smoothly. You’ll receive detailed check-in instructions and we’re happy to answer any questions before or during your trip.
