If you are thinking about buying a 2nd/vacation/retirement home, you owe it to yourself to look at The Wintergreen Resort in Virginia.  Read what The Washington Times had to say about this wonderful community. 

Here's a nice piece about Wintergreen. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/mar/19/resort-living-wintergreen/

When you visit, you will be surprised to find that it is not just about skiing but offers a four season resort including golf, tennis, fishing, hiking, etc.
