We fell in love with this beautiful cabin! There is not much missing in this luxurious and spacous cabin suitable for couples or large groups of up to twelve people.
The interior is impeccable. There is a stunning living room full of natural light thanks to the glass walls and all the large windows. We also loved the gourmet kitchen, gas fireplace, and copper tub. But most of all, the luxurious master bedroom with a king-size bed.
You will feel pampered with all the amenities like air conditioning, a private hot tub and sauna, a pool table, and a fire pit. Not to mention the covered porch, and most of the cabin has a breathtaking mountain view which is perfect for relaxing.
This cabin is a perfect mountain vacation spot to share with close friends and enjoy outdoor recreation like wildlife viewing, mountain biking, rock climbing, and all the great hiking trails.
We loved getting day passes and visiting Eagles Nest Winery and even drove out to downtown Asheville. The property is not pet friendly (so no worries for those with allergies!)
Have an ultimate relaxing stay at the Flying Eagle Cabin. Here’s why we made it our top pick:
- Amenities: You will love all the luxury this cabin offers, including high-end furniture, appliances, a hot tub and sauna, stunning views, and spacous bedrooms.
- The Scenic Views: No matter where you are in the cabin or outside, you have a stunning view of the hills, lush forest, and mountains. It was so relaxing!
- Outdoor activities: We couldn’t get enough of all the hiking trails and loved going wildlife and bird watching. We even tried out some mountain biking in the area.
This secluded cabin was so amazing we really couldn’t find fault with it. The only thing I can think of is that the cell service wasn’t available in all parts of the cabin. No big deal! They do have Wi-Fi.
Pros:
- Soak in the private hot tub while enjoying the beautiful mountain view.
- Relax in the sauna after a long day out.
- You can take a day trip to downtown Asheville.
- Light up the fire pit for some hot dog roasting and observe the star-filled sky at night.
- Go mountain biking or hiking on one of the nearby trails.
Con:
- Due to the location, some areas don’t have cell service. We didn’t mind!
- The road is harsh in the winter, and you will need an AWD or good 4WD.
