The space
THE HOME
As you enter Ava, you'll be captivated by its towering presence and innovative design. The cabin boasts a series of hidden doors that add an element of mystery and discovery to your stay. Step inside to discover a full home theater, allowing you to unwind and enjoy your favorite films in a cozy, private setting.
One of Ava’s most enchanting features is its magical sliding island, a guest-favorite centerpiece that reveals a hidden spiral staircase.
The cabin's thoughtful design extends to a sunken bed with 360-degree views in the loft, creating a stargazing paradise where you can immerse yourself in the beauty of the night sky.
For moments of relaxation, Ava invites you to indulge in a 7-person hot tub, offering a soothing retreat with panoramic views of the entire valley. Whether you're soaking under the stars or enjoying the scenic landscape during the day, the hot tub provides a perfect blend of luxury and natural beauty.
While Ava offers a remote escape surrounded by nature, convenience is never compromised. A short 7-minute drive takes you to Food Lion, ensuring you have easy access to essentials. Walmart is also just 18 minutes away. For those seeking outdoor adventures, the prime location places Skyline Drive and the trails of Shenandoah National Park within a scenic 27-minute drive.
Ava is not merely a cabin; it's a destination where modern comfort meets the serenity of the Shenandoah Valley.
