The story

A whole lot of pine, and a plan for every room.

Wildwood Lodge arrived with log walls, a wall of windows and valley views for days, and not a single fork in the drawers.

The owners wanted a modern cabin that families would love. Every piece had to be found, from the dining table to the Adirondack chairs to the coffee mugs.

We started where every Hideaway project starts: our Finding Your Story questionnaire. From their answers came a palette, a design board for every room and patio, and a home that feels rooted in the Shenandoah.

Ideal guests
Family trips, reunions and couples’ weekends
Guests want
Space, comfort, games and a fully stocked kitchen

The upstairs: living, dining and kitchen as one room

Signature space one

An upstairs planned as one room.

Living, dining for 14 and the kitchen, zoned so the whole group shares the wall of windows. Nobody gets stuck at the kids’ table.

Signature space two

The bunkhouse the kids call first.

Two Twin XLs over a king, so the whole crew fits in one room. Forest-green shiplap, bear-and-plaid bedding and Shenandoah National Park pillows.

Built for sleepovers, styled so the grown-ups want to peek in too.

Signature space three

Six bedrooms. Six personalities.

Same pine walls, a different story in every room. Each began as its own board.

Signature space four

A patio organized into rooms.

One long deck, zoned like the inside: a fire-table lounge, dining for eight, a quiet corner, the hot tub below and a firepit for the crew. Every chair, rug and string light, sourced and placed.

From the board

Seating with the fire table. Outdoor dining for eight. An intimate corner on the side of the house.

Each zone on the plan became a real place to land, so a group of 14 never has to fight for a chair.
