About this property

The Foundry Cabin | Historic 6BR Retreat w/ Hot Tub, Propane Fire Pit & Games

Discover `The Foundry Cabin`: A stunning 1789 log cabin reimagined with modern luxury and design. Once a humble farmhouse, it`s been meticulously restored with warmth and craftsmanship. The name “Foundry” nods to the spirit of transformation—a unique space where stories, laughter, and lasting memories are forged.

Step inside to the gathering core of the cabin: a bright, open kitchen and dining area designed for connection. The farmhouse-style kitchen is fully stocked with cookware, bakeware, and serveware for everything from big breakfasts to holiday dinners. Stainless steel appliances, generous counter space, and a large island make it easy to cook together, while bar seating invites company during meal prep. Beside it, the dining area looks out over the yard, where deer and foxes are often spotted at dusk. Just beyond, the Great Room centers around a custom-built mantle and 70” electric fireplace. Enjoy a true theater-like experience with the massive 75” TV for family movie nights, while soft lighting adds a relaxed glow in every season.

The Great Room opens into the preserved 1789 original log cabin, where the hand-hewn timbers still tell the home’s story. Inside, a custom-built game table sets the stage for late-night board games and conversation. A cozy reading loft above offers a quiet spot to sip wine or simply take in the texture of old wood and new design. In cooler months, the propane fireplace keeps this historic part of the home especially warm and inviting.

The Foundry Cabin includes six bedrooms arranged across three levels, offering space, privacy, and comfort for families and groups alike:

1. Primary King Suite (Main Level): A spacious retreat with a full ensuite bath, TV, and easy access to the main living areas—ideal for guests who prefer no stairs.

2. Green Room (Second Level – King Bed)

3. Red Room (Second Level – Queen Bed)

4. Blue Room (Second Level – Queen Bed)

5. Second King Suite (Lower Level): Spacious and private, this suite includes its own full ensuite bath, a dedicated workspace, and easy access to the game room/lounge.

6. Twin Room (Lower Level – Two Twin Beds): Designed for kids or friends, this cheerful room sits beside the entertainment space and offers a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere.

Step out from the Great Room into the wide backyard, where the day’s rhythm slows under open skies. Follow the stone path to the hot tub for a soak beneath the stars, or gather around the propane fire pit for stories and s’mores. The covered porch, complete with hanging chairs and a gas grill, makes it easy to linger after dinner. For friendly competition, you’ll find a full lineup of outdoor games, including bocce ball, Cornhole, and axe toss. Whether it’s laughter around the fire pit or quiet moments on the porch, every corner of The Foundry Cabin invites connection, ease, and a sense of belonging.

Shenandoah Valley Wine Weekend

Comfortable and nice layout for group of nine friends during extended wine tasting weekend. The kitchen was wonderfully stocked as we do most of our cooking on these types of outings. Communication with owner was timely and responsive. Even the wildlife (deer, woodchuck, bunnies, etc.) were fun to watch as we relaxed on the back porch. All-in-all, a fantastic place to stay in a beautiful part of Virginia.

Character and comfort

This home had a lot of character and charm that also offered convenience and comfort. Plenty of space yet cozy, activities indoors and out to include tables games, fire pit and hot tub, remote feeling but only a few miles from town and, hospitality which met us with a basket of snacks, coffee pods, hot chocolate and creamer along with other amenities that made it a “must come back”! I would definitely recommend this property for any occasion.

The exterior grounds are under construction. The porches are filthy and in need of a good cleaning. The interior looked clean but the floors and bathrooms need a good scrubbing. There are no cleaning supplies for the kitchen, floors or bathrooms. The 1st floor bed room has a bad odor. The bathrooms are dated and in dire need of a plumbing upgrade as there is no cold water in the second floor sink (valve broken) and there is very little hot water in any of the showers/tubs. The plumbing needs to be rebalanced as well as the HVAC. The basement and 1st floor bedroom were very cold when the 2nd floor rooms were extremely hot. The hot tub needed its water changed after a summer of sunscreen and oils the water was very cloudy and there was a ring of slimy material around the edge.Matt has done a great job decorating but, the mechanics of the house (plumbing and HVAC) need to be addressed. Matt is a very nice host and responds to text messages very quickly.

Graduation family fun

The house looked exactly as it did on-line. The beds were so very comfortable. Every single part of the property felt like home. Every person that stayed was comfortable and accommodated. The children were able to be kids and have fun and the adults had their own fun too. The old house is such a neat part of the property, as well. It was integrated into the house perfectly. Any time I ever had a question I would simply ask the owner and he would respond back immediately. This house is very close to town, but yet secluded away from the world enough that you felt like one with nature. I actually live close by, but was unable to accommodate everyone. Rather than have everyone stay in separate hotels I decided to rent a place. I'm so glad I chose this place!! I will be sure to refer people as well as use this home owner for any other get aways we will need in the future.

Comfortable Gathering Place for Family Reunion

Our group of family members, all seniors living in different states, chose this place to gather for our annual get together when we learned our Washington State sibling was going to attend the national sheepdog finals at nearby Belle Grove. Matt is the best when it comes to communication ... he is fast, detailed, and pleasant to work with. Not that we needed much, the property was very well set up for hosting. The home had a very well stocked kitchen (almost more pots and pans than you could count), a good island, and a large table that accommodated all of us easily. We cooked at home multiple times and it worked well. A "must" for us is gathering spaces and we had that in the large "great room" as well as a large porch in front and another in back, perfect to different times of day. On this trip we didn't take advantage of the several game rooms, hot tub, and fire pit but nice to have the options. There were full baths on each floor, two on the main floor; our ideal house would be everything on one floor (just about everyone has bad knees at this stage in our lives) but few of those exist and we made this work for us. You are definitely in the country, but close enough to Front Royal and Strasburg for shopping, restaurants, and things to do (beyond going to the dogs). Highly recommend!
