The cabin features a sprawling deck with 2 porch swings, an outside dining space and a grill. The upstairs of the Cabin has 2 bedrooms with a bathroom off the master as well as an additional full bathroom. The kitchen is fully stocked for cooking with seating at the island as well has a dining room table.

This cabin is a hikers dream with private access to the Tuscarora Trail and near many amazing hiking spots, including Eagle Rock.
**Please Note: You MUST have an All-Wheel drive or 4-Wheel Drive vehicle regardless of weather conditions. The route to the cabin is very long and steep. We highly recommend that you get there before dark and if you will be arriving late we ask that you let us know so we can prepare accordingly.

INCLEMENT WEATHER. Safety is a huge priority for us and we will be monitoring for icy or snowy conditions. If this occurs, the driveway could potentially be too dangerous to travel. If the driveway is unsafe to travel, we will inform guests as soon as possible and discuss their options.

We will block the months of January until April on VRBO but feel free to reach out if you are interested in booking during these months. Because of weather, we will take it on a case by case basis based on road conditions and the weather forecast.

INSECTS. Since the cabin is in the woods, certain times of year there can be more insects than normal, primarily stink bugs and ladybugs.

This cabin is literally on the top of a mountain. It is a beautiful cabin, modern and well-appointed, with stunning views in every direction. There are three levels of outdoor space including a lookout deck with 360 views. The final 4 miles to the cabin is unpaved gravel roads - truly remote.

This was an amazing, unique home with lots of little touches that made the stay even better. Whoever cleans the house should be commended for their thoroughness and attention to detail. One of the cleanest houses we have ever stayed in. If you follow the hosts directions, getting to the location is simple. The driveway seems a little iffy, but in an all wheel or 4 wheel vehicle the drive is fine. It’s gravel, a little steep and only one lane, but totally doable. Just go slow and you will be fine. All bathrooms had shampoo and conditioner, which I appreciated very much. Laundry detergent, dishwashing detergent and dish soap provided. Bring Clorox wipes or kitchen counter cleaner to wipe down if you will be there for awhile. This was such a cool experience for our family of 6 who love the outdoors and nature. Highly recommended.

Our stay here was wonderful despite the horrible weather it rained and had 20mph winds the entire 3 nights we spent there so we never did get to see a beautiful view but the house is wonderful comfortable and had a lot to offer to do, from board games to pool table and air hockey which was nice! No cleaning supplies to clean and wipe down counters after meals but we managed not a big deal! The detail in the house was beautiful! We will be back when it’s not raining lol

Host profile image
I grew up in the Shenandoah Valley and love this beautiful area. I am blessed to be able to raise my family in such a wonderful area that promotes getting outdoors and enjoying all that nature has to offer. I'm so excited to be able to let others experience the same beauty.

Why they chose this property

This is one absolutely stunning cabin that I have the pleasure of hosting. I manage this cabin for a friend who built it as his dream property with the hopes of allowing others to enjoy its beauty. He wanted others to be able to experience the awe inspiring peacefulness and views.
