Private Luxury Cabin, Stunning Mountain Views & Hot Tub by Shenandoah | Cabin in Stanardsville

Soak in the sweeping mountain views and let the serenity of nature soothe your soul. Perched on 14 acres and bordered by wildlife lands, Lazy Bear Oaks offers unobstructed views of the Blue Ridge Mountains in every season - from spring’s tender blooms to lush summer greens, fiery fall foliage, and snow-dusted winter peaks. Just outside the city, yet truly a world away.
Rustic charm meets modern luxury in this turn-of-the-century cabin. With redwood siding, a patinaed copper roof, and a stacked fieldstone fireplace, every detail reflects timeless craftsmanship. Inside greets you with post-and-beam construction, heated pine floors, curated antiques, authentic taxidermy, and hand-painted art creating a space that’s warm and full of character.
Take in the sunset from the western-facing balcony or sip coffee on the screened porch as a breeze rustles the trees. Fire up the grill - whether the park-style by the picnic table or the combo grill on the deck. Gather around the natural stone firepit for s’mores beneath a star-studded sky. Follow step stones and landscape lighting to a spacious 636 sq ft deck, complete with outdoor dining and lounge seating. Let the mountain views and warm bubbles of the 5-person hot tub melt your stress away.
Inside, the cabin sleeps 6 with 3 queen-size beds - 2 bedrooms and a sleeper sofa in the basement - each near its own full bathroom. The main-floor master features a queen Tempur-Pedic Cloud and barnwood furniture; the upstairs guest room has a queen Beautyrest and a vintage clawfoot tub with overhead shower in the bathroom. The basement and master baths have walk-in showers. The kitchen features soapstone counters, a Viking range, and cast iron or Calphalon cookware for culinary adventures. The main-floor office with dual monitors has you covered if you need to log on. In the living area, a 65” QLED TV sits above the mantle - perfect for movie nights or curling up by the fireplace after a day of exploring. Whether you’re here to explore, recharge, or just take in the views - your adventure awaits at Lazy Bear Oaks!
