About this property

Modern cabin - private mountaintop, hot tub, outdoor shower, outdoor fireplace

A private mountaintop cabin on 10+ wooded acres, with no neighbors in sight. Steel Nest is an architect-designed escape surrounded by forest, with walls of windows, a screened porch, private hot tub, outdoor fireplace, and cozy wood stove.

Spend your days wandering the trail, soaking among the trees, or doing absolutely nothing. At night, step outside for remarkably clear starry skies. This is mountain time, with a little more space and a lot more privacy.

Steel Nest was designed for long mornings, slow afternoons and evenings that don't need a plan.

Coffee on the screened porch. A walk through the woods. A soak in the hot tub as the forest quiets down. Then a fire in the Morsø wood stove while the stars come out.

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.

To ensure The Steel Nest is the perfect fit for your getaway, please review the following details about the cabin's unique character:

- 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.

OUTDOOR CAMERA: There is an outdoor camera facing the parking area as well as a trail cam at the entrance gate. They are on 24/7 and can record video and sound.

One word to describe this house: WOW! Exactly as described. Extremely secluded home with tons of character. Very clean and had everything we needed. Starlink connection was excellent and I was able to see my therapy clients virtually with absolutely no problem while my husband worked downstairs. While you don't technically need AWD or FWD in the summer, it worked out perfectly that I had just bought a new car because my previous one would have had trouble with the driveway as it is better to have a higher clearance and a car that can handle more ruggedness. Alison was very responsive; answering all questions or concerns I had within an hour. No complaints and highly recommend.

Everything about this listing was fabulous from the beginning to the end of our three night stay! Such a wonderful, peaceful place surrounded by trees and singing birds. The cabin was comfortable and immaculate. The hot tub and outdoor fireplace were enjoyed each evening....so relaxing! The kitchen was well fitted out with everything we needed to prepare our meals. Our host Allison was very responsive and prepared us well for our stay. It was a convenient place to meet our sister and brother in law, so we definitely plan to try and return. Thank you Allison for sharing your lovely home with us!

This was the perfect cabin for a much-needed weekend away! It was so secluded and so quiet! The heated floors made the whole cabin feel like we were wrapped in a cocoon. Perfect for a cold winter weekend! The cabin is as beautiful as the surrounding forest. The host was lovely as well. We loved it and can't wait to come back!

Across many different vacation home rentals we have experienced over the years, perhaps none have provided my wife and I the peace and joy that Alison’s beautiful cabin has. The fact that this was our fifth (?) stay confirms our endorsement of this cabin. I understand that this home was designed by a Charlotte architect and those thoughtful and quality details are all around you. The cabin exudes a stylish comfort and warmth and the secluded location and hot tub make for a serene setting. For the self-sufficient traveler who enjoys not seeing neighbors, cooking a great meal and enjoying a nice glass of wine by an outdoor fireplace in a home with elevated design and details all around you, you have found your next vacation home rental. Also, Alison ranks as an all-time favorite and responsive host with great local knowledge and we look forward to our next (6th?) visit.

The Still Nest is just beautiful! My wife and I love to find new fun places to stay for overnight get away, but few check all the boxes for us. This place does though! Quite, hot tub, fire place, full kitchen, no close neighbors and uniquely decorated. We loved our stay and will defiantly be coming back. Thanks Alison!

Awesome! Quiet, secluded setting was just what we wanted. Spent a lot of time in the screened in porch and the hot tub. Was worried with no AC in the middle of a hot July, but was comfortable especially at night with a nice breeze thru the many screened windows. Has everything you need, perfect vacation! (Also, make sure to see the wild horses)
