0.5 mi walk to this access point for Lost River! Here seen on a sunny fall day. When the leaves turn or the snow is falling, it's even more magical.
In July we added a railing around the hot tub area!

About this property

Scenic forest yurt w/ hot tub & river access

Summary:

Welcome to Nature’s Edge, a mountain yurt where peaceful views, quiet surroundings, and simple comforts come together for a relaxing escape in the West Virginia hills.



- Sleeps 4 | 2 beds | 1 bath

- Hot tub overlooking the valley

- Deck & BBQ grill for outdoor downtime

- Full bathroom & kitchen for easy, comfortable stays

- Pellet stove heating & A/C for year-round comfort

- Fast WiFi w/ dedicated workspace for remote work or streaming



The Space:

Morning light spills across the valley as mist lifts from the hills, and the quiet feels expansive, broken only by the sounds of the forest. As the temperature drops outside, the yurt stays warm and inviting, offering a front-row seat to landscapes and long, peaceful evenings. Steam rises from the hot tub while stars emerge overhead, making it easy to slow down and settle into the rhythm of the mountains.



Nature’s Edge is a newly-renovated yurt set along a mountain ridge in Wardensville, West Virginia, surrounded by wooded acreage and wide-open views. Thoughtfully designed for comfort in all seasons, it blends the simplicity of yurt living with the everyday conveniences that make a stay relaxing and easy.



Sleeping arrangements

The yurt sleeps up to four guests in a studio-style layout. A king-sized bed and a sleeper sofa share the same open living space, making the setting ideal for couples or close companions. Above, a loft offers a quiet spot for reading, games, or simply enjoying a change of perspective.



Comfort and interior living

Inside, you’ll find a full bathroom and a kitchen where you can prepare your own meals, along with a Smart TV for evenings in. Heating is provided by a pellet stove, creating a atmosphere during chilly months, while air conditioning is available for warmer days. Fast WiFi supports streaming, video calls, and remote work, and a dedicated workspace makes it easy to stay connected when needed. Thoughtful touches like board games and comfortable seating encourage relaxed, screen-free downtime as well.



Outdoor living

Step outside to experience the setting that defines Nature’s Edge. The hot tub is a favorite year-round. The deck offers space to take in the views or fire up the grill. Access to Lost River is located about half a mile down the road, adding another layer of connection to the surrounding landscape. Free parking on premises and street parking is available.



Location and nearby experiences

Nature’s Edge sits just a short drive from both Wardensville and Lost River, where you’ll find local restaurants, cafes, and art studios. Lost River State Park, about 15 minutes away, offers miles of trails through dense forest. Seasonal conditions shape the experience here, from quiet hikes to scenic drives through the mountains. Please note that a nearby state route can carry some noise, particularly when trees are bare in winter; a sound machine is provided to support restful sleep.



Longer Stays

For stays of 14 nights or longer, guests will be asked to e-sign a rental agreement prior to arrival. This agreement helps us comply with local requirements while protecting the property, and will be sent in advance for review.



Perfect for…

This yurt is well-suited for couples, solo travelers, or small groups looking to unplug, explore West Virginia’s mountain scenery, or enjoy a retreat with modern comforts. Whether you’re soaking in the hot tub on a night, working remotely with a view, or venturing out to nearby trails and towns, Nature’s Edge offers a calm and memorable base for your stay.



Note

While you are surrounded by 35 pristine, wooded acres, there is a state route to the north that can lead to noise, especially in the winter months with no leaves on the trees. For this reason we have a sound machine on the bedside table for a great night’s sleep.



During inclement weather such as snow or ice, you may be required to have 4-wheel drive or tire chains. We also recommend Travel Insurance during the winter months. We do not give refunds for road conditions that are out of our control.



Our cleaning team sweeps the deck, stairs, and walkways before each arrival, but due to the natural setting, you may still notice some leaves, pollen, or similar—especially during certain seasons. We appreciate your understanding as nature tends to leave its mark, no matter how often we tidy up!

Wow, we can’t say enough about this spot. Private, beautiful, comfortable, great location, well stocked. All you could want for a romantic getaway (but there is also room to bring the kids if you wanted to! But you won’t want to once you see it!) Communication great. Absolutely no notes: 5/5! (We did pick up a tick hiking…please make sure you do a thorough check.)
If I could, I would spend my whole life in this moment…
You can’t see the hot tub here, but it was perfect…

Host profile image
I live in DC with my wife and three young kids. I love camping/hiking, drinking (and sometimes brewing) great beer and wine, exploring new restaurants and shops, and traveling all over.

What makes this property unique

We spent years searching for the perfect getaway, and wanted to be close enough to DC that we could do a day trip. We fell in love with the area – and this cabin in particular. We love how cute and cozy our cabin is, and all the fun outdoor activities we can enjoy year-round. :)
