“Plenty of room to relax …and OMG the hot tub on the deck was pure bliss. Post-Hurricane, we had no issues and enjoyed great restaurants, wineries, and waterfall hikes.” – Geo
WildHaven Retreat isn't just a luxurious home, it's where the magic of the Blue Ridge Mountains meets modern comfort. Picture joyful gatherings in the open living space as the sun sets over the lake, laughter echoing in the game room, and starlit soaks in the hot tub just outside. Unforgettable moments and views await.
“Overall the space was comfortable for everyone. The large open areas allowed for everyone to be together but doing different things. We had a great time and created wonderful memories.” – Taurie

“The house was well equipped with fun things to do. The kids loved the karaoke machine and arcade games. The younger kids enjoyed the books and board games.” – Taurie
Two floors means your group has ample space to spread out and relax. First floor is all fun – professional projector and large couch for movie nights, arcade games, pool table, and karaoke machines. Upstairs, you’ll find the adventure continues – another cozy lounge and TV nook with stunning vaulted ceilings and large picture windows plus a poker table, record player and bar.
Truth is, you'll be living on the decks (one on each floor)! Have a quiet morning moment and soak in the views, fire up the grill for an epic feast, then soak in the massive 8-person hot tub under the stars. Rain or shine, the expansive decks are your go-to spot for relaxation and fun.
