About this property

Welcome to Westglow at the Boulder Park in Eagles Nest - an adventure glamping experience!

What is a Boulder Pod? Situated on over 20 acres of Blue Ridge wilderness, Westglow is a fully enclosed, one room cedar cabin that is nestled into a rock outcropping of an ancient mountain top with panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. Intended as an adventure glamping experience, it is ideal for an overnight escape, a weekend excursion or a week long retreat. We think you will find Westglow along with all that Eagles Nest has to offer is the perfect place to experience glamping at its best in the North Carolina Mountains.

Where is Westglow and how do I get to it? Westglow is located about 1.5 miles inside the Eagles Nest development and is accessed by an approximately 100 yard long moderately steep hiking trail.

Quick Response

The heater wasn’t working when we arrived and it got very cold that night. We called the next day and they were able to quickly get us a space heater, which did help a little bit. It took a while to get someone on the phone even though it was during their listed business hours, but once we did the need was quickly addressed.

Relaxation at it’s finest

It was a great weekend. Gorgeous setting, secluded, and refreshing for our souls. There are 2 things you should absolutely be aware of before booking. 1- The bathroom is not as close as it looks in the picture. It is actually a little bit of a rocky walk. NOT A BIG DEAL UNLESS YOU HAVE TO GO AT NIGHT. Bring a good flashlight with you. Bathrooms are very nice. 2- I did not expect an UPHILL, rocky climb to get to our yurt. There were a few tricky spots. Not too bad but it’s not the easiest to carry stuff up there. Keep in mind I’m 50 and active. We will definitely stay here again. I wouldn’t suggest small kids or small dogs go. Great experience overall.

Beautiful getaway!

We had a wonderful weekend trip!! Each yurt has its own bathroom that you access with your own code, which was very convenient. The bathrooms were very clean as well. We loved the views, and it was relatively easy to get to the property by following the directions that were sent to us via email. It was not a long walk to get from the parking area to the yurt. Do be aware that the paths leading to the yurts/bathrooms are made up of rock stairs. (This is the reason they ask you to pack lightly. Example: backpacks vs roller bags). We did not have any issues. Be cautious when bringing a pet, such as a dog, since there are drop-offs around the yurts. A friendly suggestion for the cleaning crew is to check for large spider webs on the ceilings and to dust the ceilings fans. We did have to bring our own coffee cups, but the coffee maker worked perfectly fine. It's a quick 10-minute drive to the small town, which is lovely. Overall, it was a really great stay!! We will be coming back again.
