Mountain Gaze - Family Cabin Getaway

Located in the George Washington National Forest, Mountain Gaze Cabin provides a quiet retreat from the city life and is the perfect place to base your visit to the Lost River area with its many outdoor activities.

Completely remodeled in 2021, this house offers a spacious open living room and dining area, new kitchen, two queen bedrooms, two full baths, a gaming area and an electric car charger. The outdoor space has two large decks for enjoying the sights and sounds of the surrounding nature.

The space
Mountain Gaze boasts a well-equipped open plan kitchen and living/dining with vaulted ceilings. The living area leads out onto two large decks with a screened-in portion off the kitchen for enjoying meals and relaxing alfresco. The living area offers plenty of windows including a picture window to take in the scenery as well as a “Jotul” gas fired stove for additional charm, as well as an excellent source of heat on chilly nights. Don’t be concerned though the house is heated and air-conditioned all year round with a mini-split system.

The bedrooms feature pine ceilings, “Tuft & Needle” queen mattresses, remote controlled ceiling fans, and space for all your relaxing essentials. The master bedroom has a full bath attached. Both beds are supplied with soft and comfortable linens, plentiful pillows, and enough blankets to keep you warm and safe.

The completely remodeled bathrooms offer high end finishes. Both bathrooms feature a full shower and bath tubs where you can enjoy a steamy shower or soak in the tub supplied by our energy-efficient on-demand water heater. You will also enjoy the feeling of our incredibly soft water and its beneficial effects.

The living area is the perfect place to relax and chill with a good book, watch a movie or your favorite on demand show on our large-screen 4k TV. The living area can also provide additional sleeping space with a queen size memory foam pull-out sleeper sofa. The wall mounted TV can also be repositioned to allow viewing from the kitchen or dining area. The modern kitchen has a refrigerator, microwave, a gas oven with air fryer option, a Keurig coffee maker, and an electric kettle.

The large back decks include a screened in portion that have a sectional sofa, dining table and ottomans for dining outdoors. Included is a privacy shade on one side as well as a propane heater for those chilly nights. The other half of the back deck has a comfortable bench and swivel chairs to relax and take in the outdoors. This space also includes a grill for outdoor cooking.

In the front of the house there’s an additional deck with seating for taking in the afternoon sun. There’s a fire pit in the front yard for those late night campfires and s'mores.

Relaxing
Everything was so wonderful, relaxing and easy. The home was so clean and beautiful. Perfect place to unwind. We loved the deer and turkey that we saw every day. We will be back.

Clean and cozy cabin
This was a nice little cabin for our quick getaway and would likely be good for a longer stay, as well. Everything was extremely clean when we arrived. Kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils. The gas fireplace was more cozy than it looked from the pictures. Good internet for streaming movies, though we didn't try the PS5.

Peace and Quiet
Let me tell you, this place did not disappoint. It was better then a hotel. The screened in porch was just amazing. Sitting out there and hearing the sounds of nature all around you. Seeing deer right out the back door. 10 out of 10. Only thing that is missing is a pool. If we really wanted to swim bad enough, we could have gone to the Guesthouse down the road and got a pool pass for the day. Thank you for the great getaway.
