The Retreat

Designed for two

A modern, black-clad cabin built exclusively for couples — one or two guests, never more. One bedroom with a king bed, one full bath, and an open-concept kitchen and living room that opens onto the deck through floor-to-ceiling glass.

Every line of the house points outward, toward the ridge and the valley beyond. Nothing to manage, nothing to share. Just the two of you, above it all.

  • Private Hot Tub
  • Barrel Sauna
  • Cold Plunge
  • Blackstone Grill
  • String-Lit Pergola
  • Outdoor Lounge & Hammocks
  • Expansive Deck
  • High-Speed Wi-Fi

Hot. Cold. Repeat.

Sauna, cold plunge, hot tub. The full contrast circuit, steps from your door.

The Setting

The valley at your feet

Perched at the top of the Massanutten range with sweeping views across the Shenandoah Valley, the property borders George Washington National Forest directly. The Bird Knob trail and the yellow trail overlooks begin just steps from the door.

Mountaintop Views, Easy Access.

The property is accessed directly off highway 211, so you won't have to drive 20-30 minutes down gravel back roads to get the best views in the Valley.
