In-Town! Large Family - Group Retreat near Creeper

Private, tree-wrapped sanctuary with lush seasonal gardens hides you from the world while territorial views remind you it still exists (if you care). The Koi Pond becomes your new favorite channel. Deer visit. Birds sing. You exhale - maybe for the first time in months.

Spread across two stories of indoor/outdoor living, Hilltop Oasis gives everyone space to gather AND disappear when needed. Whether you're catching up over coffee or wine on the main deck, watching Fish TV, or hiding in the 3rd-floor catwalk nook, you are surrounded by calm.

Just 3 minutes from Barter Theatre, the Creeper Trail, and downtown Abingdon's best food and shops. But honestly? You might not leave. The outside world can wait.

If you do venture out:
~ Ride the Virginia Creeper Trail and see a Barter Theatre show (1 mi).
~ Drive 3 minutes/walk 1 mile to Main Street's historic areas, top food and shops.
~ Visit the Farmer's Market, William King Museum, and The Art Depot (1.3-2 mi).
~ Time travel at historic Sinking Springs Cemetery or the Muster Grounds (2.3 mi).
~ Take a walking tour with the Haint Mistress and learn Abingdon's stories!
~ Visit Grayson Highlands State Park and hike to see the ponies (49 mi).
~ Hike the Channels to walk a fairy-world landscape (19 mi).
~ Get your heart racing at Bristol Motor Speedway and Dragway (28 mi).
~ Fly in or out commercially - 35 miles to TRI. Private plane - 5.1 miles to VJI.
OR...don't go anywhere. Watch wildlife, the Koi swimming, and enjoy your people!
