The Vacation Your Soul Needs
*Tips at the bottom, glowing reviews at the top*
WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW. That's all my fiance and I could say after 4 soul-cleansing days at Mariah's gorgeous property at Wintergreene Lake. What a slice of magic they have on this hidden gem.
For starters, I don't think I've experienced that level of privacy since the womb. It is so quiet, with nothing but the loons and lake waters at night, you can perfectly hear yourself echo against the mountains if you talk above a speaking voice.
Secondly, the tents. Roomy, beautifully decorated, and extremely comfortable beds! We appreciated the extra wool blanket for chilly nights.
Third, the cabin! A screen porch that's perfect to enjoy thunderstorms, a mini-fridge for perishables, and a woodstove to keep you warm at night.
We kayaked and had front row seats to the year's most firey sunset, glittering bright orange and gold across the lake. We made fancy camp cocktails, cooked amazing dinners over charcoal, and played boardgames in the cabin on the day it rained. The lake and property is pristine, and no cell service meant 3 days free of social media and depressing news headlines (aka what we all need right now). We also got to hang out with Natalia & Jeff who were really sweet.
We truly cannot say enough amazing things about it. I just feel grateful they even choose to share it with us, and can't wait to go back next summer...and maybe very year after that!
TIPS:
-BYO coffee machine
-BYO charcoal & fire starter, some of the wood was so fresh it was hard to light anturally
-BYO string lights or lanterns for inside the canvas tent
-BYO extra blanket. We were provided one but I run cold, so I almost wish we'd brought another just to be extra snug
