About

There are cabins - and then there's The Steel Nest. Tucked away on 10+ private acres, this architect-designed retreat was built for slowing down. Sip coffee surrounded by the forest, wander the private trail, unwind in the hot tub, rinse off in the outdoor shower, and spend your evenings by the fire under a sky full of stars.

Good to know

Whether you're escaping for a long weekend or mixing remote work with mountain views, the Steel Nest is the perfect place to recharge. Fast Starlink WiFi gives you the flexibility to stay connected - while board games, puzzles and the peaceful sounds of the woods make it easy to unplug. Walls of windows fill the cabin with natural light and bring the outdoors in, creating a peaceful retreat that feels connected to the surrounding forest. Thoughtfully designed with comfort in mind, every space invites you to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the quiet. Planning a fall getaway? Autumn is one of the most beautiful times to visit, as the Blue Ridge Mountains come alive with vibrant color. After a day of scenic drives and leaf-peeping, come home to warm radiant heated floors throughout the cabin, light the cozy Morsø wood stove, and settle in for the perfect mountain evening. HIGHLIGHTS: - Architect-designed cabin on 10+ private wooded acres - No neighbors - just forest, wildlife, and mountain skies - Private hot tub nestled among the trees - Open-air outdoor shower overlooking the forest - Outdoor fireplace & screened porch - Private walking trail & bocce ball court - Fully stocked kitchen with Weber propane grill - Fast Starlink WiFi for remote work & streaming - Exceptional stargazing and frequent wildlife sightings KITCHEN: The kitchen is fully stocked with cookware, dishes, wine glasses, basic pantry essentials, and everything you need to prepare meals.

SLEEPING: Primary Bedroom - King bed with premium linens - Sitting area - Forest views - Roku TV Second Bedroom - Queen bed with premium linens - Woodland views BATHROOM: The upstairs spa-inspired bathroom features heated tile floors, dual vanities, and a walk-in rainfall shower.

Other Details to Note

- The Steel Nest was intentionally designed without air conditioning to embrace mountain living. Open the windows and let the cool evening mountain air flow through the cabin. If central air conditioning is essential to your comfort, this may not be the right fit. - The only TV is located in the primary bedroom, encouraging guests to spend more time outdoors and together. - There are no window coverings, allowing you to wake with the sunrise and fall asleep beneath the stars. - We drain, clean, and refill the hot tub between every stay. It may take until the evening of your arrival to reach its ideal temperature. - Please bring your own firewood if you'd like to enjoy the indoor Morsø wood stove or outdoor fireplace. - Seasonal county burn bans may occasionally restrict outdoor fires and are outside of our control. - We provide linens, towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, paper products, starter coffee supplies, and basic pantry essentials to help you settle in comfortably.
