About this property

MOUNTAINAIRE LUXURY CABIN

Nestled at the foot of Ice Mountain and just beyond the shore of the North River, your luxurious mountain lodge awaits. Made of impressive 100 year old logs and custom designed by international designer, Stephen Bauer, Mountainaire guarantees a stylish and comfortable getaway. The huge, screened in wrap around porch is where you’ll want to spend your days, taking in the mountain views while listening to the flowing waters of the North River. Sip espresso from the hand bent hickory rocking chairs. Light a fire in the outdoor stone stacked fireplace. Dine alfresco around the 12 person solid wood French farm table. Or curl up with a good book on one of the 4 outdoor iron beds. Feeling like a dip? Enjoy either the 3 season plunge spa on the deck (open early May - late September) or the 7 person hot tub (open Early October - Late April), or simply gather around the fire table with your favorite wine and 10 of your closest friends.
Once inside, the romance deepens. You enter and are amazed by the soaring ceiling of the open air living space, that includes a kitchen and dining area. The kitchen is full size with dual dishwashers, stove, refrigerator, granite counters, and everything your inner chef desires. Also on this floor, you’ll find a half bath, laundry area, and master suite. The master suite boasts a king size four poster bed, and adjoining master bath. The caramel marble tiled master bath has a large tub, oversized separate shower with jets to massage all your worries away. Also, within the shower is a steam feature. Other extras include large closets and a heated towel rack.
Journey to the second floor to discover three bedrooms and another full bath. The cherry room, aptly named because the entire room is paneled in cherry wood, has an antique iron four poster queen size bed. The white room is a cozy space featuring a full size bed. Both rooms have oversized closets, cow skin rugs, and rustic touches. The third room, inspired by the iconic red barns of the North East, features 2 twin beds, with trundles.
The lower floor is all about fun. Here you’ll find 3 bunk beds tucked in beneath the stairs. For more sleeping space, take advantage of the 2 trundle beds beneath. There’s also a generous bathroom featuring a slate shower. Grab a beer from the old coke fridge and play a game of billiards on our 1963 Valley Pool Table. Keep the night going with a fun game of darts, or settle in for movie night on the large projector screen. We’ve purposefully eliminated TV to give you that unplugged feeling, but netflix is available.
Take a short walk to the river, and you’ll pass a fire ring that beckons for late night smores. Settle around the fire in the oversized Adirondack chairs and drink in the black night sky ablaze with a billion stars. Not to be missed is the mini log cabin tree house.


SNOW / ICE IN THE WINTER MONTHS
Please be advised that we are located in a fairly remote area, and even the State roads are not always plowed and salted immediately. We strongly recommend 4WD vehicles when inclement weather is likely. The last mile is a well maintained gravel road, and during regular weather conditions, non-4WD vehicles have no issues with access, however, when there is ice or snow, access can be challenging. We do have a "snow plowing" service that plows when we get more than 4" of snow.


Please be advised that our property is equipped with external video and audio surveillance, and noise sensors.

Best way to relax

This was one of the most relaxing vacations I ever had. We stayed for 5 days and only left the property once to head into Winchester. The amenities are terrific ... we were never bored. I will definitely be back.

Relaxing

Beautiful home. Very well equipped. Amazing outside space with wrap around porch, tons of comfortable seating, plunge pool and fire pits. Very secluded and isolated so you can relax. Many interesting activities but you will have to drive about an hour to most of them Owner was very easy to get in touch and responded quickly to our questions Highly recommend

The house and location were amazing. Despite the cold temperatures, we enjoyed our stay. The house was well stocked and had everything we needed. For those of you who love to sky gaze, bring your telescopes. The night sky showed a nice view of the Milky Way. We would definitely go back.

Lovely Family Retreat

The property has a large variety of activities to keep a family entertained: pool table, darts, hot tub, fire pits, cornhole, board games, and more. We were unlucky in that our trip fell during bad weather that kept us from fishing or hiking. However, the entire family had a great time!

Pricey - But Worth it!

Stayed here for my 40th birthday, which justified the higher price point. Well worth the rate for this property! The heated soaking tub was a hit! We caught a few smallmouth bass. The fireplace was great too! WiFi was good - was able to stream the college football game on YouTube TV. Comfortable beds, high end linens and towels. Kitchen is set up for hosting. All in all, a phenomenal, and quiet, property!

Mountainaire Magic

All of us...ages 9 months to almost 80 enjoyed our stay here immensely. The inside is more than comfortable but the outside screen porch and deck area are outstanding! The hike up Ice Mountain was just right for the 9 year old and the 80 year old as well...with a sensational view as a reward. The plunge pool provided literally hours of good fun for the children and adults alike. The weather was perfect so we didn't spend too much time indoors but there appeared to be lots to do inside too...pool table, darts, games galore, projector and screen. The hosts are very responsive and it is obvious they tried hard to anticipate every need. A lovely family weekend was had by all.

Beyond Expecations

As impressive as the photographs and property description on VRBO proved to be, our arrival immediately confirmed we had made a great choice. The property has many unmentioned upscale amenities, Check-in was seamless and Stephen and Mary were responsive with any questions and eager to ensure our stay was special. The outdoor space is spectacular and the kids spent several periods of rain frolicking on the wrap around screened in porch and swimming in the small pool. Though the property is located in a somewhat isolated and secluded private neighborhood, we found plenty to do and see and made several trips to Winchester which was only a forty minute drive! All in all we could not recommend more highly!

Absolutely stunning!

Stunning, cozy, warm and charming. I knew this place was special the moment we pulled up. We stayed duing the holiday season and the house was so very tastefully decorated. But the best part was the attention to detail that the owners provided to make you feel not only welcomed but special. The moment I got home I started pruchasing things for my own home! I like to travel and because I love to try new things, new adventures, I never stay at the same place twice. This cabin is an exception! I would stay here over and over again. Mary and Stephen have gone above and beyond with this home. It was a privilege to be able to stay here. <3

Unplug and Unwind

If you and your family/group of friends want to leave this world behind for a few days, Mountainaire is for you. Our family spent 5 days in this remote WV home that is the result of much love and attention by the owners. We loved being close to the river, playing in the plunge pool, eating and relaxing on the incredible wrap around porch. Stephen even drove 3 hrs to check out a problem we encountered. He recommended a meat market in Capon Bridge where we got some incredible smoked pork chops to grill. There was plenty at the cabin to occupy the 10 of us, ages 2-70. If you do need a techno fix, the cabin does has good WiFi.

The Perfect Getaway

If you want a place to relax and refresh, this is the place. This house is quiet, big enough to have privacy from other guests, and laid out well for game nights around the table or s'mores at the fire table or fire pit. We enjoyed the covered porch- sitting in the rocking chairs and having dinners. Ice Mountain was a nice hike. The house itself was welcoming and accommodating for space. There was room to have privacy from the other guests in our party, and plenty of family space to enjoy each other's company. We went to Winchester, Virginia for a few hours one day and Capone Bridge. Otherwise we were content on the property.This house had something for everyone. We did find the house in need of a good deep cleaning in the showers and kitchen, but given the busy season for renting we assumed somethings had been overlooked. That aside, we would and have highly recommended this house.

Wonderful mountain retreat

Each family member, ranging from Grandma to teens, loved our stay at this property! Really, how can you not? The indoor space is meticulously designed and very comfortable. However it’s the outdoor space that is truly a marvel. The wrap around screened in porch is a dream. Everyone found a spot to relax and then later we all gathered together around the outdoor dining table on the porch and fire table on the lower deck . The plunge spa was a bonus after taking the very short walk over to the entrance of ice mountain where the hike was enjoyable and the view at the end amazing . We came to relax and spend quality time together and that is exactly what we did! Such a nice break from the hustle and bustle of NorthernVA. We are all talking about going back every year if possible! Highly recommend.

Extraordinary Property

This gorgeous cabin lacks for nothing. The kitchen is completely stocked with anything you might need and beautiful appliances. Stephen and Mary provided an abundance of towels, linens and other toiletries. The house has so many unique touches that make it feel more like a home than just a rental, and overall it is tastefully comfortable with very high quality furnishings. Hands down, the screened in wrap around porch was our family's favorite feature. The deck and plunge pool were both beautiful and offered a wonderful place for the kids to play. The path down to the river is short and the lighting was very much appreciated once it got dark. My granddaughters (ages 4 and 6) slept in the bunk beds in the basement and loved it. The bathrooms are both spacious and opulent. Truly, words cannot capture the wonder of this property. This was our first vacation as an entire extended family and we couldn't have chosen a better place.

Adult size private beds?

Wrap around porch was the best!!! Kids lived in the pool. Ball got stuck in pool table the first night. At first size of interior seemed small compared to pictures. Wall guide helped us get the projector screen and shows working and the gas grill and fire pit working for us. Family with three kids used top floor for Privacy and noise. 2 adult men had some difficulty finding long enough beds. One ended up sleeping outside. He liked it there 4 nights. He is 6’2”. The other adult was in basement. Basement had odor daughter-in-law law found divet with blood stain on their bed. . She traded it for a clean one.

About the host

Hosted by Mary & Stephen Bauer

Host profile image
We designed and built Mountainaire out of a desire to create a simple, yet elegant escape from the city. Our work life and home life have always centered around making things of beauty and this project was deeply personal. We are so pleased with the results of this cabin and are thrilled to be able to share it.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the peaceful energy this property offered. Our boys were little and we really wanted to offer them a place where the simple life could be had, a place to unplug and catch fireflies, roast marshmallows, and play board games. Maybe we were trying to recapture our childhood, too. And, we wanted a place big enough where we could have lots of friends and family.
