****A Little About Our Home****
A quiet sanctuary, The Nest Chalet provides relaxation, privacy, the outdoors and quality time with friends and family, with a break from the day-to-day hustle and bustle.
At The Nest, guests will enjoy:
- A light-filled space with central AC/heating and a spacious Loft and Master Bedroom. Both rooms have sky lights and big windows (this means sunshine comes through in the morning).
- The Master is on the main floor. It includes a private work space and porch, making The Nest perfect to enjoy a break from the office, while working remotely for the week. We upgraded our home to include satellite internet and are delighted that guests can check email, browse the internet, stream and video conference as needed.
-The Loft is spacious and airy, featuring a Queen size bed as well as a Korean-style full bed. The loft includes a window to star gaze from and a portable crib for infants.
- A modern, fully stocked kitchen with microwave, oven, InstantPot, Ninja Blender, toaster, coffee/tea, pots and pans, olive oil, and a well stocked spice rack. We strive to provide quality dishes, knives, glasses and utensils, as well as kid-friendly plastic plates and cups.
- A large communal deck that includes a Weber Grill and Polywood outdoor dining table with umbrella to have delicious meals and take in the outdoors on a beautiful day.
- Board games, books, smart television and fast WiFi in case you want some cozy time indoors.
- Clean linens and fresh towels as well as complimentary shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and other products in case you forget yours at home.
- A large yard where you can relax and take in the breeze while laying in the hammock or hanging out on the porch swing.
- A fire pit with comfortable Polywood chairs to enjoy s’mores in the evening
- Stunning sunsets/sunrises with sightings of deer, rabbits, turtles and the occasional fox from the deck.
Our property sits on old logging trails and the yard is perfect for running around with little ones or your pup. If you'd like to stretch your legs and explore, the path off of the driveway offers a short stroll in the woods.
The Nest is in a mountain neighborhood in the countryside so you can enjoy privacy at the property and beautiful surroundings, but it is also located near the Eastern Panhandle's go-to destinations.
This includes Martinsburg (~15 miles) where you can enjoy fresh farm produce and delicious bites, a charming old town and cute cafes/eateries; Berkeley Springs (~30 miles) where you can enjoy hot springs, antique shops and cafes; Shepherdstown (~25 miles) and Charles Town (~23 miles) for terrific restaurants, breweries and old town charm; and Harpers Ferry (~30 miles) and Cacapon Resort State Park (~20 miles) for outdoor adventures, including hiking, whitewater rafting, kayaking and more.

Quiet mountain stay
We had a wonderful time at this cute and cozy mountain home. We came up to West Virginia to visit family that lives in the area. It was such a nice respite to come back to every evening and relax. The decor is lovely and so much attention to detail. The kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked. We had everything we needed and will come back again. The hosts were clear in communication and gave us many wonderful ideas for places to eat and things to do.

Beautiful Property
The property was as described and pictured. The house was cozy and comfortable. The kitchen was easy to work in and had plenty of amenities. There were plenty of towels in the bathroom and in the kitchen, as well as, paper and toiletry products. A previous review had noted hearing gunfire during their stay. We did hear them firing at times from the practice range off in the distance but it was not loud, did not bother us nor was it concerning. The hosts were very responsive to questions and comments. We would highly recommend this property to others.

Nice little place
Property is exactly as listed. Very nice house. I am a clean freak and this property was as clean as it could’ve been so this is a major plus for me. The property is a little too far from town which wasn’t too big of a problem for this stay but we prefer being not so far out. If you like to sleep past 7am then this place is not for you. The skylights are right above the beds so as soon as the sun rises you’ll be awake. The neighbors left us alone but I believe there is some sort of shooting range close by, there was a good bit of gun shots during our stay. The owners were very kind and quickly to respond to any questions we had.
Pros- clean, nice property, everything we needed was there,
Cons- too far away from gas stations & restaurants, skylights, gun shots
