Since 2024

Welcome to Plume, a four-season luxury property located just 30 minutes from Charlottesville, Virginia, and only 15 minutes from the Rockfish Gap entrance to Shenandoah National Park and the famous Humpback Rock along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Even in winter, guests can enjoy skiing and snow tubing at nearby Wintergreen Mountain Resort, as well as hiking on dozens of scenic trails. After a day of adventure, unwind in the hot tub and take in the beautiful Blue Ridge views.


Luxurious, spacious, and newly constructed, Plume offers stunning vistas of the Humpback Rocks ridges from nearly every room. Sip a cold brew from a rocking chair on the upstairs balcony, wake up to burnt umber–tinted ridgelines outside the primary bedrooms, or enjoy a peaceful evening by the firepit under starry skies—enhanced by our dark-sky–compliant exterior lighting.


Perfectly situated on a quiet road just off Route 151, the home sits along a serene stretch of farmland with cows, rolling hills, and a gentle stream. You’re only minutes from some of the region’s most popular wineries, breweries, and dining experiences, including Veritas Vineyards (don’t miss the four-course dinner at The Farmhouse), Afton Mountain Vineyards, King Family Vineyards (polo on summer Sundays), Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyard, The Brewing Tree, WildManDan’s Brewery, Silverback Distillery, Bold Rock Cidery, and Devil’s Backbone Brewing.
