Welcome to Yona Pause, a cozy mountain retreat in the heart of Eagles Nest. Named after the Cherokee word Yona, meaning bear, this cabin is a playful nod to "bear paws" while also inviting you to pause, relax, and enjoy the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains with wide seasonal views. Centrally located within the community near the peak of Eagles Nest, you'll be perfectly positioned to explore the neighborhood's amenities while enjoying a peaceful mountain escape.
The main level features an inviting great room with warm wood accents, a gas fireplace, and a large flatscreen TV with Netflix, Apple TV, Paramount+, and Disney+ available for guest enjoyment. The fully equipped kitchen offers granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an island with seating for two, while the dining table comfortably seats six for meals together. A convenient half bath with a laundry area is also located on this level.
Upstairs, a comfortable loft seating area provides the perfect place to curl up with a good book or simply take in the mountain views.
Downstairs, the second living area offers plenty of space to unwind with a large sectional, TV, electric fireplace, hanging chair, and poker table, making it an ideal gathering spot for movie nights or friendly competition.
