Red Bud Retreat | Lakefront living, Mountain Luxury, and the best of Sapphire Valley

Start your mornings with glassy lake views and crisp mountain air. Spend your days exploring Sapphire Valley's trails or boutique shopping and fine dining nearby, including owner's favorites the Library, Osteria Del Monte, and Canyon Kitchen all just a short drive away. Return home to a stunning, fully curated space where every piece of furniture, every fixture, and every view is chosen to elevate your stay. Evenings are best enjoyed under the stars or with cocktails on the deck as the sun dips behind the Blue Ridge peaks.

This lakefront vacation rental in Sapphire Valley is designed for both relaxation and adventure. Located on Hogback Lake with its own private dock and kayak access, Red Bud Retreat offers a true Blue Ridge Mountains getaway. The balcony invites outdoor grilling with mountain breezes, while multiple fireplaces—both inside and out—create cozy gathering spots year-round.

Inside, a chef's kitchen with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, a full-size wine cooler, and generous pantry space makes entertaining a pleasure. Hardwood floors flow throughout, complemented by zoned heating and central A/C for comfort in every season. The retreat is equally suited for fun and wellness. A game room with foosball, access to the community pool, and amenities and views to keep everyone happy. After an active day, evenings are best spent unwinding by the water as stars shimmer across the lake.

Whether you're planning a family gathering, friends' getaway, or seasonal escape, Red Bud Retreat blends lakefront living, mountain luxury, and the best of Sapphire Valley into one unforgettable stay.

Everything was fantastic! The cabin had everything our family of 6 needed for a long weekend stay. From board games to towels, from cookware to toiletries, from strong WiFi to tons of space, we had everything we needed for a great stay. The grounds were gorgeous even in the winter and our kids were never bored once. Amazing time!
