Private Luxury Cabin, Stunning Mountain Views & Hot Tub by Shenandoah | Cabin in Stanardsville
2 Bedroom Cabin in Hood, Stanardsville
Lazy Bear Oaks is your own 14-acre sanctuary with year-round Blue Ridge Mountain vistas. Set beside pristine wildlife lands, it’s a cozy-luxury retreat wrapped in nature.
Rustic charm meets modern luxury in this turn-of-the-century cabin. Redwood siding, a patinaed copper roof, and a stacked fieldstone fireplace showcase timeless craftsmanship. Inside, post-and-beam construction and heated pine floors are complemented by carefully selected antiques, hand-painted artwork, and authentic taxidermy, creating a warm, character-filled retreat.
Enjoy sunsets from the western-facing balcony or sip morning coffee on the screened porch. Fire up the grill for a flavorful meal or gather around the natural-stone firepit for s’mores under a star-studded sky. Follow step stones and landscape lighting to a spacious 636 sq. ft. deck with outdoor dining, lounge seating, and a 5-person hot tub overlooking the mountains.
Comfortable and well-appointed sleeping spaces:
- Main floor bedroom: Queen Tempur-Pedic Cloud with barnwood furniture, full bath with walk-in shower
- Upstairs bedroom: Queen Beautyrest, full bath with a clawfoot tub/shower
- Basement: Queen sleeper sofa, full bath with walk-in shower
- Loft: Twin sleeper chair
Cook like a chef on a Viking range with soapstone counters and cast iron/Calphalon cookware. Work remotely with the dual monitor setup or relax by the fireplace with a 65” QLED TV, perfect for movie nights after a day of exploring.
Whether you’re here to recharge, explore, or simply take in the views, your escape awaits at Lazy Bear Oaks!

NOTES
We want you to have a 5-star stay. Please be aware of the following:
1. We are 18 miles (29 minutes) from the Swift Run Gap entrance to Shenandoah National Park.

There is also a blue ray player with a small library of movies. HDMI and C-port video cables are already connected to the TV.
3. Living close to nature brings insects which may make their way into the cabin’s interior.
4. Firewood and propane are not provided. Guests may use any remaining supplies or pick some up at the nearby country store (15 min).
5. Best suited for couples or adult groups. The space isn’t childproofed and doesn’t include child-specific amenities. The hot tub is for adults only. Children 5+ are welcome, and we ask that guests supervise them closely and bring anything they may need to stay comfortable and safe.
6. Pets are not permitted. Violations will result in a $250 fee and reimbursement for any additional cleaning charges.
7. For stays longer than 7 days, the trash cans may fill up before checkout. Guests can take trash to the local transfer station (about 20 minutes away) at no cost or arrange a mid-stay clean or trash pickup service for an additional fee.
