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.

Fall brings a whole new feeling to the mountain, as the forest comes alive with color and the crisp air invites you to slow down.

This is mountain time - with a little more color, a lot more privacy, and room to truly disappear.

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

Spend your days wandering the 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.

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.
