About this property

Stunning Views & Sunsets, Plus Scrapbooking Center - New Owners and New Decor!

This is the vacation chalet or scrapbooking retreat you've always wanted! This spacious 2,800 square foot chalet was custom-designed with your dream getaway in mind, whether it be for a romantic getaway, family vacation, or groups of scrapbookers and crafters seeking a weekend away from daily stresses.

This one-of-a kind, custom-designed and custom-built chalet surrounds you with every possible amenity, plus quite a few you would never expect. Like beautiful hardwood floors, breathtaking two story windows, soaring cathedral ceilings, supple leather furniture, an invigorating hot tub, gourmet kitchen, and three fireplaces - including one in the master bedroom!

Into a crafty weekend? For starters, you'll appreciate the custom built walking ramp so you can roll your supplies directly into the exterior entrance to the crop room on the lower level. The fully equipped crafting room features top-of-the-line task lighting, high-end comfortable chairs, table mat, cup holders, and waste basket PLUS a kitchenette, fireplace, TV, sound system and expansive views.

While great attention was paid to every luxurious detail, the truly priceless feature is the view and location. Perched high above the world-famous Shenandoah River, Sunset Ridge provides year-round views of the Shenandoah River valley and Blue Ridge Mountains beyond. But every evening, the sunset is the star of the show, with glowing beams of orange, yellow, blue and red glimmering just above the distant horizon. The retreat is on a magnificent 10-acre park-like setting. Curl up and read a book in front of one of the three fireplaces. Or just sit quietly on the magnificent deck and let the rustle of leaves take your cares away.

The spacious surroundings include two floors to accommodate large groups or families or friends, and views from almost every room! Upstairs you'll find the traditional chalet A-frame wall of windows, luxurious leather recliner sofa, fireplace, home theater with high definition 52" TV/Cable with 8-speaker surround sound system, full kitchen with Professional Series stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and counter bar seating four, dining room table with seating for eight.

IMPORTANT REGARDING CHALET ACCESS
The chalet is located on a big, beautiful mountain which is why you get the stunning views. You will travel on paved highways for most of your trip, however the last 1.5 mile is a gravel road with some inclines as you climb the short road to the chalet. If there is chance of snow or ice, 4-wheel drive or all-wheel drive vehicles are strongly recommended. If the mountain has had a lot of snow or ice, we reserve the right to postpone your trip to another vacant time period of your choosing for your safety and enjoyment, or offer a full refund.

The owner and/or staff will ensure that you have everything you need at the chalet prior to your arrival and we are available via phone if you have questions. We prefer to let you enjoy the chalet without the feeling that the owner is hovering over you watching every move.

Sunsets - period.
What a lovely little property. The views from the deck, or inside, during sunset are pretty ridiculous. Great place to chill out and listen to the wind blow and watch the sun sink while the stars rise...

What makes this property unique

If you are into crafts, you know how HARD it is to find a nice vacation retreat that has A) nice accommodations, B) a convenient location, C) luxury and D) a nice crafting area with views! Then, add to the challenge that the best places are booked a year in advance! I wanted to offer the best of all worlds. I hope you agree that Sunset Ridge IS the scrapbooking retreat you have always dreamed of! Furnishings and beds are very comfortable - you can't have a great time if your back hurts (and we have all had that experience on vacation, right?)! And the walking ramp eliminates the need to get your supplies up and down stairs.
