The Flying Eagle in EN - Best views in High Country- Luxury home, hot tub, pool table

Welcome to The Flying Eagle, the pinnacle in luxury homes!

With its awe-inspiring glass walls, The Flying Eagle is a home like no other. Recently featured on the cover of Log Cabin Homes, it sits perched at the top of Eagles Nest. You'll have stunning views of the Elk River Valley as well as views towards Tennessee. The main floor has the living room, dining for ten, and gourmet kitchen. The kitchen has a large granite island, wine cooler, and large range to cook for the entire group. There is an indoor table for ten, and beautiful bar stools for five. In the living room, you'll find a gas fireplace and a large smart TV with YouTube TV for live viewing.

Upstairs is a king bedroom with a private gas fireplace. Soak in the copper tub, or relax in the large, open shower. The counters are double granite vanities with black onyx vessels. Off of the bedroom is a sitting room with a TV and access to the private deck.

Downstairs in the entertainment space, with a second large screen TV and couches. The pool table sits next to the natural bedrock wall. On one side, there is a bedroom with two queen beds and ensuite bath. To the other end, there are two bedrooms, a full bath, and the sauna. The third bedroom features a King bed with a dresser and views. The fourth bedroom has a full over full bunk.
.
The deck has large, wooden glider chairs overlooking the Elk River Valley. Under the covered deck on the side is a large table for dining al fresca, a waterfall on a timer (waterfall is seasonal end of May through October), and a 9 person hot tub. Follow the path to a private fire pit nestled in the rhododendrons with chairs gathered around.

Mixed Experience at Flying Eagle
Our family recently stayed at the Flying Eagle, and while there were many positives, there were also several drawbacks that affected our overall experience. Pros: Stunning Views: The views from the house are absolutely breathtaking and exceeded our expectations. Spacious Accommodation: The house was large enough to provide everyone with their own space while also offering ample common areas where we could all gather without feeling cramped. Cons: Maintenance Issues: Upon our arrival, the water heater servicing the downstairs area was not functioning. Although the hosting company promptly sent a handyman, the problem persisted until I personally discovered and turned on the water heater the next morning. The sauna was inoperative, with a note indicating it could only be heated to 3/4 of its maximum temperature to avoid tripping the breaker. The hot tub also failed to heat up, which was disappointing. Cleanliness Concerns: The bathrooms downstairs were not properly cleaned. The main shower had mold and an unpleasant odor, while the bathtub had mildew in the drain and a non-functioning drain stopper. Clean bathrooms should be a priority for any property management company, especially given the frequent use by guests. Uncomfortable Bedding: The king bed downstairs was extremely uncomfortable, with an old mattress that had a significant peak in the center, causing us to roll to the edges. While I didn't expect bran

A serene place
This was one of our best in state vacation. The home was in excellent condition. It was decorated for the Christmas Holiday and the kids loved it. It was so peaceful. The view was out of this world. It was such a beautiful sight and experience. The owners thought of everything. The kitchen was fully furnished, items were there to aid in washing clothes etc. We danced and had a great time. There are speakers in the ceiling in which you can connect to and listen to the music. I would highly suggest that you make sure to get there before night fall b/c it's extremely foggy and nearly impossible to see the road. The house is high on the mountain. Also get all you can get ( food, and personal need- wise) while you are out.. You definitely do not want to be traveling that narrow/ curvy road. Also it's not much around. It's not a tourism town. This is a definitely a great place if you are looking to escape and work on something or self. We loved it.

Awesome Design and View, short on other things.
I hardly ever write reviews but i think in this case you could benefit in me doing so. Beautiful home on a great lot, but it needs some attention to detail to keep it a 5 star home. The worst and most discussing thing was the the sewer issue, there is raw sewer water running on top of the ground from the front right corner of the house under the outside steps down across the yard, this has been happening for a while because it has eroded a lot of soil from under the outside steps exposing several different pipe, it appears that there could be a pipe loose and only does it every so often like when a tank or something fills up and pump turns on, if your outside you know when it is happen because of the smell, my wife says she smelled it from inside of house. I had a concern that if the well was in that area that the sewer water is contaminating the well. There were several things that did not work like the outside fireplace, appears gas was disconnected. The outside waterfall, The sauna would not work which was very disappointing to my family. We checked all breakers, control box would click but nothing would happen. The hot tub was not fully functional when it came to the jet controls because several of the knobs were broken off. The kitchen had a lot of hodgepodge items that are not needed and mostly unorganized. We think you need more than two trash cans as we ran out of space for trash. Missing part of the smoke detector in the south lower level bedroom, the small garage was just a mess/ un organized with things just thrown in there. I know several of these things are small items but the attention to the detail is what makes a 5 star home a 5 star home. We do not feel like we got what we paid for, I hope you guys will check into these items so others can experience this beautiful home to its fullest. Todd Isenhour

The “Flying Eagle” is INCREDIBLE from the second you open the front door…. Huge expanses of glass overlooking fantastic views for mile upon mile. The massive rear deck overlooking the cliff is relaxing as well as beautiful. There are so many wonderful things to comment about. The luxury of the home is impeccably uncompromising. The host spared absolutely no expense on construction. TOP rated! The floors, fireplaces hot tub, pool table and furnishings, are tasteful and UNBEATABLE ! The MASSIVE beams make this home like no other. The mountaintop location is ideal for panoramic views on all sides and the owners took full advantage of the views by choosing a floor plan with multiple decks on multiple levels. We booked a year in advance to take advantage of the Astounding Banner Elk fall foliage. We were so glad we did! Thank you to Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals and the owners if The Flying Eagle.

Most spectacular views, stay, and memories!
We wanted a spectacular home for our week long stay, as we got married in Banner Elk this past weekend, and my goodness — this place did not disappoint. There were a few issues with the steps going to the lower level and the property management group was there VERY promptly to fix the issue and check everything else before leaving. Blue ridge rentals is amazing and we will not only be visiting banner elk annually, but we will always book with blue ridge rentals. I have a ridiculous amount of people asking for info on this cabin. It’s the most spectacular place we have ever stayed in, and we made memories that will last a lifetime!!

We've rented several homes in Eagles Nest z you can't beat the views, the trails, the seclusion - or the magnificent homes. We watched the Flying Eagle as it was built and were eager to rent because if the floor to ceiling windows and top of the mountain views. Our stay did not disappoint! We often rent through Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals because they are easy peasy to rent from and make the process seamless. Can't wait to book our next trip - though its easier to go through the blueridgerentals.com site directly.

Incredible home with incredible views
We are used to staying at 5 star hotels. This home is 6 star! The views are insane. The home has every modern amenity you can think of. Hot tub, sauna, pool table, multiple fire places. Access to Netflix, Hulu. The beds are so comfortable. The kitchen has it all Kurig, every cooking accessory. We had a family of 6, but could easily sleep 12. In short we could not recommend this property any more highly.
