About

A private and modern mountaintop cabin on 10+ wooded acres, with no neighbors in sight. Heated floors throughout, a hot tub amongst the trees, outdoor fireplace and cozy indoor wood stove = the perfect spot for a fall retreat. As the forest comes alive with color the crisp air invites you to slow down.

Good to know

Steel Nest was designed for long mornings, slow afternoons and evenings that don't need a plan. Spend your days wandering the private trail, soaking among the trees, or doing absolutely nothing. At night, step outside for remarkably clear starry skies and the quiet that comes with being surrounded by so much nature. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • Total privacy on 10+ wooded acres • Architect-designed cabin with walls of windows • Private hot tub among the trees • Screened porch for coffee, cocktails & rainy days • Radiant heated floors + Morsø wood stove • Private trail + bocce court • Outdoor fireplace • Seasonal outdoor shower • Fast Starlink WiFi Inside, the open living space brings the forest in through walls of windows. Settle into the leather sofa, warm up by the wood stove or open the screened porch doors and listen to the woods. The kitchen is fully equipped for nights in, with cookware, dishes, wine glasses, pantry basics and a Weber propane grill. Coffee is covered too, with a Keurig, drip maker and pour-over setup. SLEEPING Primary Bedroom - King bed, sitting area, forest views + Roku TV Second Bedroom - Queen bed + woodland views BATHROOMS The upstairs full bathroom has heated tile floors, dual vanities and a walk-in rainfall shower. A half bath is on the main level with direct access to the outdoor shower. WHEN THE WEATHER TURNS Rain doesn't ruin a stay here - it becomes part of it. Settle onto the screened porch and listen to rain on the roof while the forest disappears into the mist. Slow days, or productive ones. When you're ready to unplug, you'll find books, board games, puzzles and cards for lingering evenings indoors. When you need to stay connected, fast Starlink WiFi makes remote work easy. In fall, the Blue Ridge forests turn brilliant with color. In winter, the wood stove and radiant floors make the cabin especially cozy. And on clear nights, the lack of light pollution makes the stars something to step outside for. Steel Nest is for couples, friends or anyone who wants a little more space, a little more privacy, and a lot less noise.

Other Details to Note

- No air conditioning: Steel Nest was intentionally designed without AC to embrace mountain living. Open the windows and enjoy the cool evening air. If AC is essential to your comfort, this may not be the right fit. - Limited TV: The only TV is in the primary bedroom. The cabin is designed to encourage time outdoors, around the fire, and together. - No window coverings: The cabin has no curtains or blinds, so you’ll wake with the sunrise and may fall asleep beneath the stars. - Hot tub: We drain, clean, and refill the hot tub between every stay. It may take until the evening of arrival to reach its ideal temperature. - Outdoor shower: The shower is seasonal and is shut down when overnight temperatures are forecast to drop below freezing, typically from November through March. - Firewood: Firewood is not provided. Please bring your own if you’d like to use the indoor Morsø wood stove or outdoor fireplace. - Fire restrictions: Seasonal county burn bans may occasionally restrict outdoor fires and are outside of our control. - What’s provided: We supply linens, towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, paper products, starter coffee supplies, and basic pantry essentials for a comfortable stay.
