Mountain getaway: Picture this: your breathe rises to a background of the full moon and a thousand stars as you relax deep into a bubbling hot tub after a day of skiing and snowboarding on some of the most premiere slopes the Allegheny Mountains have to offer. A coyote calls from the frosty wilderness, and a shooting star reminds you that this accessible seclusion, just one mile from Snowshoe Ski Resort, was precisely what you and your family had in mind for a getaway. The next morning you wake early to drink coffee on the deck and immerse yourself in the day's quiet beauty as the mists slowly drift by and the forest awakens around you. Two seasons later, you return to enjoy summer afternoons full of river rafting, kayaking, chili cook offs, wildlife viewing, fishing, mountain climbing, and endless hiking trails. Your kids beg to stick around to watch an Extreme BMX competition. Complete with a loft (fit for phenomenal sunsets during cold seasons), wrap around porches, gas fireplaces, three baths

Things to do...: The first lodge to be built at Eagles Nest, it is situated only a few miles from Cass Historic Railroad (where vintage steam locomotives carry passengers on an old-time logging train eleven miles to the heights of Back Allegheny Mountain) and Green Bank Observatory (home of the world's largest moveable radio dish / telescope). There are 750 acres of National Forest just across the road where one can find unspoiled mountain beauty for your hiking, exploring, and hunting pleasure. Let this place cradle you in the lap of luxury and serve as the base to make all of your fantasies, past and pending, become realities. Fit in a round on the beautiful greens of the world-class Raven Golf Club (ranked by Golf Week magazine as one of the county’s top twenty courses for 2007) before meeting up with the family at any one of a number of first class restaurants in the area to enjoy a delicious dinner
