If Money Was No Object Here’s Where I Would Go for Spring Break in Virginia

Looking for a world-class vacation? You don't need to buy an expensive plane ticket; instead, opt for an extravagant escape in Virginia. With the arrival of warmer weather, we're eager to pack up a suitcase and head to the mountains—specifically, wine country. It's here you'll find Saddleback Sanctuary, a breathtaking retreat designed by an award-winning architect. The stunning mountain views and nearness of the renowned Veritas Vineyard aren't even the most impressive features of this bucket-list-worthy Airbnb in Virginia.

Built into the hillside in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Saddleback Sanctuary is nothing short of a work of art. It was designed by the award-winning architect Hugh Newell Jacobsen and boasts some of the most impressive panoramic views imaginable. The private home can accommodate up to six guests, with three bedrooms, three beds, and three bathrooms.

Admire the home's impeccable design. Ample windows lead to picture-perfect mountain views, and the entire house is furnished with both beauty and comfort in mind. Sink into one of the plush couches as you gaze at the mountains in the distance or sip on a glass of local wine as the sun sets over the horizon—there's no wrong way to unwind here.

The bedrooms are equally inviting, with king-sized beds and luxurious linens. I especially love the skylights, which elegantly bring natural light into the space during the day and offer a glimpse of the stars at night.

But by far, the most unique feature is the private indoor saltwater pool. It's heated to a comfortable temperature, inviting guests to enjoy some leisurely laps no matter the time of year. This spa-like facility really sets this rental apart from others in the area.

Other lovable amenities include a fully equipped kitchen with all the necessary appliances, whether you're making an involved meal or a simple cup of coffee. The balcony is another beautiful space that gives you a sense of where you are. Layers upon layers of mountains disappear into the distance, and you can enjoy them from this secluded view.

Of course, when you are ready to venture out, a world of adventure awaits. Veritas Vineyard is truly just a stone's throw away, as are countless other wineries, breweries, and top-rated restaurants. Those looking to experience the mountains will find no shortage of hiking trails. I'd recommend checking out Humpback Rocks on the Blue Ridge Parkway for a hike that really packs a punch and leads to a gorgeous view.

Please note: This luxury home rental is for adults only and is unsuitable for children, given the indoor pool and the glass staircase. For more information on this dreamy vacation rental in the mountains, be sure to visit the official Airbnb listing, where you'll find additional details, reviews, and rates.

And, if you need even further convincing, we'll leave you with this glowing review from a recent guest: "This property is just WOW! Conveniently located to the best wineries Virginia has to offer but so private and beautiful. The home is world-class in its amenities, architecture, and tranquility."
