Serene Mountaintop Cabin - Pool, Hot Tub [Fall-Spring], Infrared Sauna

Eagles Dwelling
GORE, VA

Welcome to Eagles Dwelling, a four season mountain retreat. Each season has something special to offer at this wooded oasis. This is the most perfect place for an outdoor adventure or a quiet retreat; a mountain top getaway for the whole family.

Nestled on top of Great North Mountain, surrounded by wineries and ski resorts (Bryce and Whitetail are 39 miles away), you will never want to leave. This charming cabin is ideal for quiet walks through the forest, outdoor meditation, relaxing in a hot tub while taking in forever views, getting a massage in front of the sun setting, practicing at the shooting range, or sitting in the infrared sauna and cooling off in the outdoor shower. Kids can climb trees, search for tadpoles in the pond or build forts and enjoy the perfect s’mores while sitting in front of the bonfire.

While experiencing this ideal oasis, it is difficult to leave for exploration with the amount of activities on and around the property. For the adventurous types, there is skiing, swimming, hiking, shooting, horseback riding, ATV riding, and/or weekend winery tours! History buffs can explore one of many nearby historical landmarks or museums. Depending on your group structure (couples, children, or friends) the home can sleep up to 6 guests. Please ask if you need to accommodate a large party and are unsure. This secluded cabin is beautifully decorated and fully furnished with everything you need to enjoy your stay. You will never want to leave this sanctuary.

Whether you’re in town to sample fine wine or explore the beauty of the Mountains, the cabin is perfectly positioned for you to try it all! After days spent skiing, traversing through National Parks, exploring Historical Landmarks and Museums, or taking a Jeep excursion at The Cove (Take your ATV out out on some of their amazing tracks!), head back to make memories on the deck with loved ones under a blanket of stars!

Our goal is for you to have a stress free stay! We welcome any questions and hope you will allow us to help provide you and your family with vacation memories you will cherish forever! You can relax knowing we’re available if you have any questions via email and phone. We will make you feel welcome--because we know what vacation means to you.

Secluded family retreat with beautiful views
A beautiful secluded house with amazing views of the mountains and sunsets. Plenty of amenities for both adults and kids between pool/hot tub, ping pong, darts, misc. games and outdoor activities. Kitchen was well stocked with essentials for cooking and they had a nice gas grill to utilize. Some shorter hiking trails were on the property (<1mile). Only few reservations with the property was it is a little bit of a drive (30mins + minimum) to most any activities and we stayed in the 2nd week of October and the stink bugs were very present. Other than that, we’d love to stay here again either same time of year or any other.

Best Place Ever!
My kids and I stayed here for 2 nights and it was so amazing we immediately booked another stay for 2 months out! This house is EVERYTHING the listing states and MORE. There was so much to do both inside the house and outside the house. For me, sitting on the deck, enjoying the view with a cup of tea is the closest thing to Heaven on Earth I have ever experienced. My family (me and my 6 kids who range in age from 9-27) will be back as often as finances allow…the home, the host, and the ambiance exceeded our expectations by SO SO much.

Out for a VA wedding
Delightful hillside abode, with gorgeous views and all the possibilities for fun and relaxation. Came looking for a place to gather our offspring and families together while we were in VA for a wedding. We were out with wedding festivities much of the time and wished we had more time to just relax and enjoy the premises. Grandson enjoyed looking for polywogs in the pond and roasting marshmallows in the outdoor fire pit. A little out of the way but we really enjoyed the outdoor space and tranquility!

Gorgeous Hideaway!
My family and I booked this place for our Thanksgiving dinner. It was very well stocked! The kitchen is beautiful, and there is plenty of space for everyone! The basement was well stocked for the kids and kept them occupied even on a rainy day. Beds were comfortable. Be warned about gathering in the living room at night, as the master bedroom is a loft and can hear everything happening in the living room. Overall a gorgeous place that has all the amenities one could ask for. We want to come back in the summer so we can use the pool!

Beautiful property!
This is a very comfortable family home with stunning views. The Host has put a lot of thought into outfitting the kitchen and lower level family room, and the decor is very nice while still kid friendly. There are hundreds of videos to chose from in the lower level family room, but no streaming or cable. That was a little difficult for my news junkie husband to accept, but he enjoyed watching movies with the grandkids! The back deck is a very comfortable and relaxing amenity. If the weather had cooperated, we would have eaten every meal out there. We are looking forward to returning next summer when the pool is open. Between the rain showers, we hiked the trail and explored the property. Communication with the host was excellent. We had an issue with the hot tub, which led to a very nice phone conversion with the owner. We are looking forward to staying here again!

Fabulous family vacation
Our extended family, ranging in age from 1 to 71, thoroughly enjoyed our stay here over the long Labor Day weekend. The kids couldn’t get enough of the pool! The DVD library gave us plenty of choices for movie night, there were craft supplies for the littles, and ping pong too! The kitchen was well supplied even for our big group. We definitely stretched the house to its limit but it was manageable. Consensus was “much better than the beach!” and “when can we go again?” so clearly this was a good choice.

An amazing retreat for all!
This was the most enjoyable property I've ever rented! We were looking for a quiet place with a pool, lots of bedrooms and bathrooms, space to explore the outdoors, and tucked away in the country. This checked all our boxes and more! While some guests swam, others watched a movie on the huge couch in the basement or went to the on-property shooting range. The property was very clean and well maintained. Honestly, even the carpet felt brand new and was clean, soft, and plushy! Communication with the property manager was excellent and we will hopefully be back in the future for more fun and relaxation.

A week of Fun and Relaxation
We stayed for a week and had a very good time. The drive to the house is up a steep gravel road. I could see how drivers not used to mountain roads would feel nervous, but compact sedans did just fine. The house had so many things to do; we were never bored. Most days we spent in the pool. We were excited about the diving board. The pool is heated to a comfortable temperature. The pool deck is made of an unusual concrete. In bare feet it felt similar to walking on gravel. Most of us kept our flip flops next to the pool stairs or ladder. There were plenty of cool mornings and evenings when someone would look wistfully at the closed-up hot tub and wish it were available. A few of us really enjoyed the outdoor shower. It's completely open on the one side facing the gorgeous mountain view, so we just made sure no one went out there then. It is very remote. There were no signs of anyone else nearby all week. The view is at least as good as the photos look. Just past the pool in the lawn they had set up 4 or 5 bug zappers that did pretty well at keeping mosquitos away. There's always a shady spot on the deck with comfortable furniture. Inside there was a lot to do, too. A "well-stocked kitchen" means there's food already there as well as utensils. Not a lot, but maybe a few things you forgot to get. Our teens loved the popcorn machine. There were bags of serving-sized popcorn there and various flavors. We used the card table and chairs downstairs to set up some board games and puzzles. The kids found an art center and drew and colored pictures. The TV is down in the basement. That is probably a good idea since any noise on the main level would disturb sleeping people in the upstairs loft area that has an open wall. The wi-fi was accessible all over the house, but the Internet speed is rather slow. Web browsing and email were fine, but streaming shows were hit or miss. I was surprised at how many additional activities or amenities were here. We would have been happy to stay another whole week!

Ideal Getaway
My friends and I had a fabulous weekend at this property! The views and the grounds are idyllic. Everything was as advertised, the house was very well-stocked and furnished wonderfully. We had a delightful time exploring the media collection while gathered around the fireplace in the conversation pit, grilling out on the porch, and stargazing from the hot tub. The house very comfortably accommodated 11 adults and could have fit more with couples sharing beds. Lanah was a gracious and thoughtful host. Can’t recommend highly enough!
