About this property

Andrea's White House Residence, a tranquil escape on 5 acres of natural bushland

Andrea’s White House Residence – your country escape in the Snowy Mountains.

Our fully equipped kitchen has everything you need, including an espresso machine to start your day with the perfect cup of coffee.

Stay with us and unwind in a charming country setting that will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Nestled on 5 acres of natural bushland, we offer the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience.

Prime Location for Year-Round Adventures

We are ideally located near all the summer and winter activities the Snowy Mountains have to offer. Kosciuszko National Park is right on our doorstep, with fantastic walking and biking trails nearby.

Enjoy being away from the hustle and bustle of Jindabyne while still having easy access to town—just a 15-minute drive away. There, you can stock up on supplies, stroll around the lake, or dine at one of the excellent restaurants.

For winter enthusiasts, we’re only a 20-minute drive to Thredbo Village (open year-round) and just 5 minutes from the Ski Tube to Perisher. Avoid the traffic congestion of Jindabyne and be on the slopes in no time!

Spacious, comfortable, and perfect for family and friends.

Our guests love that each of our four king bedrooms with its own en suite bathroom, provides privacy and convenience. The residence comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests, making it an ideal retreat for families or a group of friends.

Outdoor Living at Its Best

For those who love a BBQ, our Family Weber Q in the Alfresco Room is ready for you. This space is a favorite among our guests year-round, offering the perfect spot to relax, watch the sunset, and enjoy a glass of wine while surrounded by nature.

Additional Information

Dual-Key Property: The Residence is part of a dual-key property. We also offer a smaller option, The Retreat, designed for couples or small families. Both accommodations are separate, with no shared spaces or car parking.
Privacy Assured: There is an interconnecting door between the two units, which remains locked for privacy. This has never been an issue for our guests.

On-Site Hosts: We occasionally stay on-site in separate accommodations and are happy to assist if needed. We love welcoming our guests and helping them make the most of their Snowy Mountains experience.

Come and experience country charm, adventure, and relaxation at Andrea’s White House Residence—your perfect home away from home.

Comfortable place great location
This property is located off a picturesque lane in a great location for people after both active and less active experiences. The main residence was very comfortable and very well appointed including in the kitchen. Ideal for large family get togethers or with a group of friends at any time of the year. Would not hesitate to recommend it!

Beautiful location
Beautiful house with gum trees and roos in the backyard. Close to ski tube. Underfloor heating was lovely but made it a little too warm when we lit the fire! Every room has own ensuite which was a lovely luxury though water not quite hot enough so never touched cold tap in shower. Overall very happy would visit again.

Beautiful property, warm, cosy & spacious
We rented Andrea's Whitehouse for 3 nights. There were 4 couples, we each had our own bedroom & ensuite. The house is beautiful & so warm. We had -6c temperatures at night & we had to take our jumpers off inside ! Plenty of firewood, well equipped kitchen & a gorgeous fireplace. We saw deer & kangaroos out the back , beautiful country surroundings & very quiet. Only a short drive to the mountains & Jindabyne. We walked the Waterfall walk from Sawpit Creek which was beautiful......highly recommended stay !!!

A home away from home!
This wonderful house is in the perfect location for a visit to the slopes - be it winter or summer! Our family of 5 and another family of 4 shared the residence, and there was plenty of room. All the beds were comfortable, the kitchen was incredibly well stocked and the surrounding grounds are tranquil and picturesque.

Perfect in Every Way!
My partner and I stayed at Andrea's White House for a week with another couple. It felt like a perfect home away from home and we couldn't have wished for a nicer place to relax. Andrea and Greg are amazing hosts and the surrounding area is so beautiful, you don't want to leave. The location is central to many attractions in the area as well as great restaurants. Thanks so much Andrea and Greg for such a wonderful week in the snowy mountains region.

Family Getaway
The location of this property is perfect for the snow fields, literally on your doorstep, easy drive to Thredbo, ski tube or Jindabyne/Perisher etc. The house itself is warm with under floor heating and a great fire. We particularly liked the separate TV room for the children. The only regret I have is that I wish I had booked the Retreat which is separate entry but attached to the house. The people there I am sure could hear us and we could hear them, but otherwise we managed well. I would highly recommend this house to stay at the snow, it is very accommodating for a large group. We found having our own bathrooms a very big plus. It is also close to some great places to eat and Jindabyne has lots of shops if you need supplies. The house is very well equipped as well. They've thought of everything. We had an issue with the power but this was rectified immediately by the manager. If you need somewhere to stay near Thredbo this is fabulous.

A wonderful home to enjoy a snowy mountains escape.
The White House was the perfect base for our ski holiday, conveniently located between Jindabyne and the ski tube. The house is extremely well equipped to enjoy delicious meals, cosy fireside reading or fun board games and incredibly charming as well as comfortable for a crowd. A very special property in every respect!

Snow coverd paradise!
Andreas whitehouse is beautiful, warm and relaxing. Felt like a weekend of luxury staying a this wonderful house. All bedrooms had ensuits and the under floor heating and fire place were amazing. Even a heated cupboard to keep the shoes dry after walking around in the snow. The house was was covered in snow when we arrived and was just magical! Close enough for some of our group to go skiing each day and be warm and cosy at night. Equiped with all you need we were able to cook all meals at the house including a roast dinner! would highly recommend for a weekend away with family or friends. Thank you to the host for a lovely weekend away!

About the host

Hosted by Andrea Forsyth

Host profile image
For many years we did the trip from Sydney to the Snowy Mountains. Hubby Greg loves to ski and so does our daughter.
We decided we should try a tree change and bought the White House & lived here and ran our house as a guest house until a business opportunity came up in Sydney and we relocated back to Sydney for work.
Finally after many years we have returned to the White House and are enjoying all the wonderful things on offer in this region....Greg is enjoying the snow fun in winter, as for me I am loving the rural scene and enjoying the great walks in summer.
We do have other business and work commitments which see us moving around a bit...however we do consider this home and really enjoy making sure our guests have a wonderful time.

Why they chose this property

We jumped at the chance to buy the White House, it is unique in that it is 5 acres of rural enjoyment but we are close to the township of Jindabyne and the ski fields for access is great for winter. Properties don't come up very often in this location so we thought we should to do jump in to the rural life .... we think it is one of the best decisions we made.

What makes this property unique

We love the fact that we are on 5 rural acres with breathtaking views and sometimes even snow covered. The house is warm with the underfloor heating so it is delight in winter to just enjoy.
There is plenty of room for all in our Residence.
We love good coffee and cooking up a storm. We make sure the kitchen has everything you need to get the day off to a good start with an espresso and all the gadgets you could think of to help you cook up a storm
What really works well for our guests is the en suite bathroom for each bedroom. We are often told how well this works.
Of truly special note is the screened outdoor Alfresco Room with the Weber Q - this is enjoyed year round by our guests with sun downer drinks and an evening BBQ watching the friendly locals drop by.
Cosy underfloor heating in winter throughout and air conditioning in summer ensures a super comfortable stay.
In Winter one of the biggest benefits during the busy ski season is that we past Jindabyne and all the traffic congestion that we can see...a 5 min drive to the ski tube taking you to Perisher is just perfect and if you are a Thredbo fan then it is just a 20 minute drive. This is really appreciated by our guests in winter.
