About this property
Hawks Nest · Mountain Top Cabin w/ Amazing Views, Coffee, Games
Fall in love with this cabin through one of the most awe-inspiring sites in the US: an endless blue-green mountain majesty. With unimpeded views of the Blue Ridge Mountains from 3300 feet of elevation, you'll be able to escape from any daily stresses. The fall foliage provides a wonderful leaf peeping experience. Waking up and to breathe in the fresh mountain air, cozy up near the indoor fireplace with a cup of coffee. That is just a small slice of our paradise on the mountain.
The space:
Imaging waking up to the subtle sounds of nature, stepping out onto the back deck with a hot cup of coffee or tea and enjoying the serene mountain sunrise.
This is just one of the perks you can enjoy at this amazing location with views that are unparalleled across Virginia.
At night you’ll want to make sure you walk out on the deck to admire the stars. They appear so big and bright that it’s almost like you can touch them!
The great room has an open floor plan that welcomes family/friend activities like board games, puzzles, watching a movie or a dinner gathering. Its huge picture windows accommodates the views of the mountains to enjoy any time of the year. The great room features an overlooking loft with a work station and a 9' shuffleboard table.
Here are some of the amenities you will enjoy...
> SUNDAY TICKET (All NFL Games)
> 3 tiered deck capturing some of the best views in VA. BOTH sunrise and sunset
> Fully stocked kitchen with all new wares

*NOTE: Pets are permitted in or around the property with a fee (determined by length of stay) and pre-approval. Please send us a message including age and any other relevant details of your favorite four legged best friends. *The yard is not fenced in and guests/pet owners are responsible for pets staying on the property
*Other things to note:
-This Cabin is on top of a mountain and surrounded by a variety of wildlife as it is very close to Shenandoah National Park. During certain times of the year, the area will have lady bugs and stink bugs.
-We like guests to know that the drive ends with a 3 mile ascent up a gravel road. While it is a well maintained road, it is fine for 2-wheel drive as long as the vehicle has a reasonable road clearance. The road is windy and steep in certain areas. In the winter months, because the weather on the mountain can be unpredictable, we strong recommend 4-wheel drive.
