Reviews
Jacob
The Flying Eagle is — hands down — one of the finest properties you'll find anywhere in the North Carolina mountains, not just Eagles Nest. Few homes take your breath away upon entry like the Flying Eagle. A full panoramic vista of the beautiful mountains greets you immediately upon opening the front door. It's almost embarrassing how much time I spent sitting in a chair, just soaking in the view! The house doesn't end with the view; it's perfectly set up for multiple families with large bedrooms, a game room, and a couple outdoor entertaining areas. The kitchen is spacious and better equipped than most of the other mountain properties I've rented. We also loved the location, close to both Great Camp and the North Pavilion.
