**Things to Know Before You Book
- No window coverings in the cabin – wake up with natural light and fall asleep under the stars. - The hot tub is drained between stays, so it may take until evening to fully reheat. - No A/C – the cool mountain air keeps things comfortable, but summer afternoons can get warm. - Rural location – expect a 30-35 minute drive to town for supplies, restaurants, and hiking trails. - No TV in the main living area—just the one in the primary bedroom. - Bring your own firewood please. There is some on sight you're welcome to use but please contribute a bundle so it lasts throughout the season. - Sound carries between floors—great for cozy conversations, but keep in mind for groups.

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)

Cozy and tranquil weekend retreat.
After a particularly exhausting week, I'd had enough of being accessible and decided I needed to get away. I pulled up VRBO during a meeting I was 25% paying attention to so that I coule browse options within a resonable driving distance (six hours or less) from DC for a weekend getaway - and then I found the Steel Nest. From the pictures, it was exactly what I needed - nature, solace and a hot tub. I arrived on a Friday evening, shortly before sunset and knew that I had made the right choice. I enjoyed a lazy evening on the three seasons room amongst the cool night air. In the wee hours of the morning, I was awoken by the thunder as lightening lit up the windows on three sides of the primary bedroom and rain plinked on the roof. After waking at a more reasonable hour, I took a walk around the property as I waited for my Instacart order from Food City to arrive in time for a late breakfast. The rest of the day was spent reading, relaxing in the hot tub, listening to the rustle of the trees or an errant cow moo (and perhaps the cow may have overheard me singing terribly off key, but full of joy). I left on Sunday at 10:30am and check out was a breeze. I didn't need anything from Allison during my stay, but her hospitality before arriving and after departing as well as the thoughtfulness of the home's app was lovely. Thabk you again, Allison, for letting me reset at the Steel Nest. Until next time.

Serene Mountain Getaway
This cabin was everything we were looking for. Secluded and peaceful, it felt like we were truly tucked away in nature—but still close enough for great daytime hikes. The space was clean, serene, and thoughtfully designed with a beautiful blend of modern rustic charm and natural elements.We especially appreciated the small touches: warm floors to step onto in the morning, the refreshing mountain air gently blowing through the cabin, and a fully stocked kitchen that made it easy to cook almost every day. The hot tub was a dream after long hikes, and the bright, airy upstairs was a lovely place to unwind.This place strikes the right balance of comfort, style, and tranquility. We hope to return.

A beautiful place to stay for the short time.
Would recommend this stay again and again, it was a very fun experience. However the surrounding darkness in the woods is there. Be aware. It made it fun for me and my s/o. We had a blast being here.

Private, Quiet, Beautiful
Loved our fall stay in this gorgeous cabin. The indoor spaces were cozy and serene, with everything we needed for cooking simple meals at hand. Loved the outdoor spaces - grill, screen porch, fireplace area, and hot tub all wonderfully designed, in working order and easy to use with clear instructions provided. Owner was friendly and communicated throughout.

Magical in every way!
All I feel is relaxed, renewed, and a bit closer to nature after my stay here. From being greeted by a beautiful live small turtle in the gardens to having everything in the Steel Nest you could need, we were able to immerse ourselves in the serene surroundings without having to leave. The home is magical and really allowed us to be present and enjoy the sounds, sights, and energy of nature and the thoughtful, architecturally charming and impressive space, finishes, and co-exsistence of the modern home with the outdoors. The stay was bliss nonstop. I hope we can come back again to unwind, recharge, and feel the magic of this oasis.

Solitude in Style
What a wonderful property. If you want a stay in a work of art tucked on the side of a mountain this is your place. Everything you could need less food or clothing is provided including internet. We encountered one blip and the property owner immediately solved the problem, at 10 pm no less. The hot tub is icing on the cake and perfect after a day of hiking Mount Rogers. You will not find a nicer place to stay if planning a trip to Grayson Highlands State Park.

The house is very thoughtful in its construction. Simple ,Modern and rustic all.at once. Bocce ball court is a great addition we enjoyed playing. Trail around property was perfect for afternoon walks. We loved it. Oh and guitar was an added bonus as well.
