Afton Mountain Retreat with Hot Tub & Views

Set on more than 15 private acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains, this newly built modern cabin offers a refined mountain escape just minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and Shenandoah National Park. With sweeping mountain views, elevated interiors, and thoughtfully curated amenities, this retreat is designed for couples, families, and friends seeking both comfort and connection to nature.

The main living space is bright and expansive, with vaulted ceilings and large windows that frame the surrounding ridgelines. A gas fireplace anchors the great room, while a 50-inch Samsung Frame TV blends seamlessly into the design. Sliding doors open onto a spacious deck, creating effortless indoor-outdoor living. Downstairs, a speakeasy-inspired lounge offers a second gathering space with an 85-inch Samsung smart TV, a large leather sectional, board and card games, and a Nintendo Switch for relaxed evenings in.

The chef’s kitchen is fully equipped with quality appliances, cookware, and a generous island that seats six. A dedicated coffee bar elevates slow mornings with a Breville espresso machine, Fellow electric kettle, French press, and drip coffee maker with single-serve option. Complimentary coffee, teas, sweeteners, and syrups are provided, along with everyday essentials including dish soap, detergent, paper towels, and trash bags.

The home features three comfortable bedrooms designed for rest and privacy. The upstairs primary suite includes a king bed, a cozy reading nook, and a private bath. On the main level, a king bedroom and a queen bedroom share a spacious bathroom with both a soaking tub and shower. Luxury 100% cotton bedding from Parachute and Brooklinen, plush cotton towels, bathrobes, and a full suite of bath amenities create a hotel-level experience. Complimentary toiletry kits, hairdryers, and extra touches ensure every detail is considered.

Outside, the large deck invites long afternoons and star-filled evenings. Enjoy outdoor dining for six, grill on the Weber, unwind in the new hot tub with massage jets, or gather around the Solo Stove fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs. The property’s privacy and open sky create an ideal setting for stargazing and quiet reflection.

Additional comforts include Starlink high-speed internet, air purifiers, a large-capacity washer and dryer with provided supplies, and family-friendly amenities such as a high chair, booster seat, and children’s dinnerware. Dogs are welcome with a pet fee (maximum two, outdoor potty trained). As a true mountain property, you may encounter local wildlife including deer, as well as occasional seasonal insects. During winter weather, four-wheel drive may be required due to the steep driveway.

Located just 25 minutes from Charlottesville and the University of Virginia, and within 10–30 minutes of dozens of wineries, breweries, and restaurants, this retreat offers both seclusion and accessibility. Whether hiking Shenandoah, touring vineyards, attending an event, or simply enjoying a quiet weekend in the mountains, this Afton escape delivers a luxurious yet grounded Blue Ridge experience.
