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.
