**Inside the Cabin

The open-concept main level features:

- Full kitchen, stocked with all the essentials, from cookware to coffee makers (Keurig & drip) and basic pantry staples.
- Live-edge dining table with seating for four, perfect for meals or game nights.
- A cozy living area with a leather sofa and walls of windows framing the serene landscape.
- Half bath leading to a seasonal outdoor shower, offering a refreshing way to connect with nature.
- Propane grill just outside for effortless outdoor cooking.

Upstairs, the two-bedroom layout offers a peaceful retreat:

- Primary suite: A king-size bed with hotel-quality linens, high wood-beamed ceilings, walls of windows, a sitting area, and a Roku TV (the only TV in the cabin).
- Second bedroom: A queen-size bed with hotel-quality linens and natural light.
- Full bathroom with heated tile floors, dual sinks, and a walk-in rainfall shower stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.
- Linens, towels, paper products, and basic supplies provided – we stock enough for a long weekend.

**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.

If you’re looking for a peaceful, design-forward retreat surrounded by nature, The Steel Nest is calling.

*** Winter in the mountains can bring snow and ice. Please ensure you have a vehicle that can handle these road conditions when booking during cooler months. Many people head to the area to experience these conditions so unfortunately we cannot offer a refund due to weather.

Hot tub use is at your own risk. Guests must follow safety guidelines, including no unattended children, no glass containers, and no use while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

To re-iterate some of the details you should know to make sure the cabin is a good fit:

- There is no TV in the living area/downstairs.
- There are no window coverings.
- We drain the hot tub between stays so it may take until the evening of your first night for the temperature to return to it's normal ~102 degree range.
- The location is very rural.
- There is no air conditioning in the cabin.

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.
