About this property

The Nest at Chester Gap

Nestled next to Shenandoah National Park and less than a mile from the Appalachian Trail, The Nest offers a true escape... breathtaking views along with an architecturally charming retreat. Enjoy smores at the fire pit... find a waterfall... overlook the mountains in your shower... grill out on the expansive deck... languish in the hot tub... just relax and enjoy the view! My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, families (with kids), and furry friends (pets on a case-by-case basis).
