“I’m at Wintergreen”
The area’s natural beauty with the relaxed, quiet atmosphere of our residential areas makes Wintergreen a great place to visit.
Some insights into our community’s standards:
• Drivers of all vehicles operating or parking here must do so in compliance with applicable Virginia laws which are enforced by Wintergreen Police.
• Wintergreen’s roads are busy with not only all types of traffic, but also walkers, bikers, and wildlife. Drivers should adhere to the community-wide speed limit of 25 mph and be on alert.
• Open burning is prohibited within Wintergreen but some recreational fires are allowed following strict guidelines. See the details.
• Parking in some areas here is sometimes not easy. Those parking on the side of our roads should make certain they do not impede normal traffic, emergency vehicles or equipment, snow removal, driveways, cart paths, walking paths, or hiking trails.
• Respecting the neighbors includes keeping your Wintergreen property neat and tidy. Because of our bears, trash must be secured.
• Pets must be secured by leash or lead, or under the control of a responsible person and obedient to that person’s commands. Pet waste must be picked up and disposed of properly.
• It gets dark here at night and this is an appealing aspect of Wintergreen for many. Exterior spotlights and floodlights should not be left on for extended periods.
• Using the resort’s golf cart paths for walking, cycling, or other not-golf uses is prohibited when the courses are open for play.
• Fishing within the community ponds and streams requires a WPOA fishing pass which must be clearly displayed while fishing. Fishing is catch-and-release unless approved by WPOA. Read and follow the posted rules.
• Wintergreen is a resort community but the homes and condos here are private property. Respect the owners' privacy and do not trespass.
Everyone at Wintergreen is asked to recognize and appreciate the community’s natural beauty and its relaxed, quiet atmosphere. Enjoy your time at Wintergreen without compromising the enjoyment of others.
This is not meant to be seen as a set of community rules. It’s an attempt to offer a friendly list of some common issues and point to some of the community’s shared values. Thank you and, again, welcome.
