Mountain retreat - views, outdoor baths, WiFi

Escape to Miner's Cabin, a charming freestanding timber home tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Rawson. Surrounded by nature and fully fenced for privacy, this peaceful retreat offers stunning mountain views and direct glimpses of Baw Baw National Park. Enjoy relaxing around the fire pit, cooking in the fully-equipped kitchen, soaking in one of the two outdoor baths, or simply unwinding with the local wildlife.

The Space

Wake up to mountain mists, draw a long bath outdoors under the sky, and curl up by the crackling wood fire as distant peaks glow golden in the sunrise. At our mountain retreat in Rawson, life slows down: mornings scented with fresh mountain air, afternoons warmed by sunlit decks, and evenings that taste like fresh air and quiet peace.

This isn’t just a stay, it’s a pause. A deep breath. A chance to reconnect with what matters.

✨ Why You’ll Love It

Mountain views & outdoor bliss: Soak under the stars in your private outdoor baths (two of them!), framed by trees and sky. Perfect for unwinding, watching clouds drift, or simply listening to silence.

Gather & unwind: The timber house invites conversation — lounge on the comfy cinema-style couch, stoke the wood fire, or lose yourself in books, games, and sometimes Lego (if young hearts are with you).

All the cozy comforts: Fully-equipped hardwood kitchen, with all the tools to cook or brew what you love. Washer & dryer ready so packing light is easy. Evenings by the fire, or mornings warmed by electric blankets — it’s comfort with character.

For families, friends, pups & adventurers: Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, sleeps six comfortably. Children accommodated. Pets welcome. Remote yet welcoming.

🌿 The Experience

Your day here might unfold like this:

Dawn: Step out to see the sky light up over peaks, steam rising from one of the outdoor baths. Cup of coffee, chilled air.

Midday: Head out to explore Rawson or nearby Walhalla; trails, scenery, surprise views around every bend.

Afternoon: Return to cook together — maybe use the fire pit, light the wood fire — or just laze back in comfort with a book or movie.

Evening: Deep soak outdoors, dinner by firelight, perhaps laughter spilled over board games or reminiscing. At night, the sky is alive: stars, crisp air, quiet.

And throughout the day, nature comes to you - deer often wander past the back of the property, and a chorus of native birds provides the soundtrack.

Extras (that make it special)

• Two outdoor baths with hot water — nights under the sky are particularly magical.
• Fire pit outside for marshmallows / chat-around-fire moments.
• Full kitchen, plenty of spices, gear, coffee maker/plunger etc., so you feel at home.
• Electric blankets on all beds for those chilly mountain nights.
• Pet-friendly yard; bring your pup and let them explore safely.

🐾 Good to Know

• While the property feels private, this is still a neighbourhood - you may occasionally hear cars coming and going, or the hum of a lawnmower from nearby houses. Most guests find it part of the charm of a lived-in mountain town.
• Sleeps 6 with ease.
• The outdoor baths are not a hot tub; there is hot water for two full baths before needing to reheat.
• The area is remote: limited shops, petrol stations 30 mins away - bring what you’ll need.
• Some roads/trails may be quiet / rugged, especially in winter and snow season.
