They were able to fit me and my family of 4 into a unit same day and helped us with getting it for two days. Which allowed us to enjoy the jubilee which was such a blast. The room was perfect, everyone was so respectful and diligent and the staff handled everything with grace.

Family reunion with food catered in a rented house. Absolutely FANTASTIC lodging and food catering service!

Wintergreen Fourth of July is our family tradition. I haven’t actually stayed at the resort, we always rent a cabin or a condo. Beautiful weather, wholesome family activities, endless natural opportunities for fun and exploration … I would live here full time if I could. The resort is 50 years old and there is a slightly rundown 70s quality to it, but that is definitely part of the charm for me.

A great overall experience. Views can not be beat. The atmosphere on the entire mountain is very unique. The lodge is very cozy and rustic, while still being luxurious. Several nice restaurants. Lots to do. We ski when we stay in the winter, hike, hang out at the lakes in the summer. While we love the location of the resorts condos, we are strongly considering renting one of the large private homes on the mountain for one of our upcoming trips since we often travel as part of a group anyway. Overall, we love each and every of our trips here.

Came for a few days away. No plans except to not be at home. We enjoyed the aquatic center. The hot tub was relaxing. Our condo had a fantastic view and all the household items we needed and a comfortable bed. The stairs are steep to the bedroom. Only complaint was the bathroom fan that sounded like running an old generator. Overall we had a great stay!

I'm sure this place is great in the winter but when we came here looking for food in May there was nothing. We were told by staff the blue terrace serves food but it's just a terrace, no food. The ladies at the front desk didn't really know what was open or mot either. Online said one of their restaurants was open for breakfast but it was not. We ended up getting grab n go sandwiches from their market because the closest place to get food was something like 45min away and we already spent that much time searching the resort for food. We were staying at an AirBnB 5 minutes away and google said they had a breakfast restaurant open or we would have gone somewhere that was actually open and had food.

We had an amazing tennis academy get away to celebrate a friend's birthday. We stayed in one of the resident's townhouse, 12 women together, and had a blast!
Scott Beranek
Snow was very icy and very slushy at the same time. Slopes were very poorly manicured and it appears that setting up for slalom skiing the next day was more important then maintaining the slopes. This was our first time there and the first impression was sub par for the standards of other resorts. The edge restaurant was good, the service was fast and the portions were large. The copper mine atmosphere is very elegant for those who like a more upper class environment, the drinks were well made.

Rented a chalet with a bunch of friends in Wintergreen during the summer. Spectacular views, convenient market, nice accommodations. I imagine this is just as nice during winter ski season.
