The Stay

Built for the weekend you don't go anywhere.

Black Ember was built in 2024 and designed as a retreat from day one. The front of the house is a wall of glass from the floor to the peak, with sliders that open to the deck, so the woods feel like part of the living room.

The main level is one open space: a living room with an electric fireplace, a designer kitchen with a tile bar, and a dining area. Upstairs, an open loft bedroom with its own bath, and above that a hideaway nook right under the peak.

Cedar barrel sauna glowing on the deck among autumn trees

The sauna

Heat, then cold air, then the fire.

A cedar barrel sauna sits out on the deck with a window into the trees. Warm up, cool off in the open air, then settle in by the fire pit or sink into the hot tub.

The details

Outside is where most people end up.

Private hot tub beside the A-frame

Hot tub in the trees

A private hot tub right outside the glass sliders. Made for clear nights and cold mornings.

Fire pit lounge and deck in front of the A-frame

Fire pit & string lights

A wood fire pit ringed with Adirondack chairs, plus an outdoor dining deck and propane grill.

Great room with soaring A-frame windows

Glass from floor to peak

The whole front of the house is glass, and the sliders open up so the woods feel like part of the living room.

Loft hideaway nook under the A-frame peak

The hideaway nook

A cozy nook up a built-in ladder, tucked right under the peak with its own TV.

Hammock strung between trees in the forest

A hammock & a telescope

Spend the afternoon in the hammock, then bring out the telescope. The sky out here gets properly dark.

Coffee bar with art and plants

The coffee bar

A stocked coffee bar in the corner, which guests love. Slow mornings are the whole point.

FAQ

Good to know.

What are check-in and check-out times?+

Check-in is after 4:00 PM and check-out is before 11:00 AM. It's self check-in with a keypad, and your code comes before you arrive.

How many people does it sleep?+

Up to 5 guests. Bedroom 1 on the main level has a queen and a single bed. Bedroom 2 has a queen, an open loft, and its own full bath. There's also a small hideaway nook up a built-in ladder.

Are pets allowed?+

No pets, sorry. Service animals are always welcome.

Is the road OK for my car?+

The last stretch is gravel with a few rough spots. Most cars handle it fine, just take it slow.

Is there a view?+

The house is tucked in the woods, so you get privacy and quiet rather than a long mountain view. The trees are the view, and they're especially good in the fall.

Any house rules?+

No smoking anywhere on the property, and no parties or events. The sauna and hot tub get hot, so stay hydrated, skip them after drinking, and keep glass away from the hot tub. For safety, there are exterior security cameras and a noise decibel monitor on the property.

Is booking here safe?+

Yes. Reservations and payments are handled securely by Hospitable, the same system that runs our Airbnb calendar. Dates update live, so there's no risk of a double booking.
