About this property
Iconic Chalet: Sauna • Hot Tub • Fire Pit • Plunge
A signature design from Deb & Alex Properties — welcome to The Shannondale Chalet, a cedar log cabin that blends rustic character and retro charm with spa-like amenities. Perched high above the Shenandoah Valley in scenic Harpers Ferry, West Virginia; a private retreat that balances luxury with nature. Enjoy a barrel sauna, hot tub, gas and wood-burning fire pits, and a cold plunge — from sunrise mist to sunset glow.
✨ THE VIEW ✨
The heart of the property is its panoramic view: the Shenandoah Valley, Shenandoah River, and Mountain Lake sprawl for miles endlessly. Watch morning fog roll in, catch dramatic sunsets, and stargaze at night — all from the deck.
🛏️ BEDS & BATHS 🚽
Three cozy bedrooms with plush bedding and curated décor, plus two full bathrooms — both updated for comfort and cleanliness. There's also a futon suitable for one adult or two kids.
♨️ DECKS + HOT TUB + SAUNA ♨️
Out front, a 432 sq. ft. second-story deck features a private hot tub and concrete gas fire pit overlooking the valley. Enjoy morning coffee or evening wine with the view. Around back, unwind in the cedar barrel sauna.
🪵 FIRE PIT + PLUNGE 🛀
Also facing the view is a wood fire pit with seating and provided logs, plus a steel tank plunge — great for kids to splash in or for use as a traditional cold plunge.
🛋️ INSIDE 📺
Two open-concept living spaces with vaulted ceilings, cedar beams, and mountain-modern furnishings. A fully stocked kitchen including a waffle maker, food processor, blender, pots & pans, etc., handles everything from pancake breakfasts to full dinners. High-speed Wi-Fi and smart TVs included.
👶 FAMILY FRIENDLY 👶
We’re a family who travels, too — so we’ve thoughtfully included the little things that make a big difference. Crib, Pack ’n Play, high chair, and kids’ cutlery are all provided.
🏓 PING PONG 🏓
Head downstairs to the rec room and play a round of ping pong — perfect for a rainy day or a relaxed night in.
