Accommodations: Cabin, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 2-5)
PET FRIENDLY & WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE.
Eagles View has amazing views of Wears Valley and the Smoky Mountains. It's hard to describe the sunset and sunrise views from the top of Cove Mountain Ridge. We have a video on our own website that captures the panorama. This is a new A-Frame chalet on a ridge (so you have sunset & sunrise) with only 7 other cabins. Very peaceful. Views from everywhere including the Hot tub. Log billiard table in loft, fireplace, widescreen HDTV with DVD player and Wii game console and games, HDTV with DVD player in King bedroom, two story sculpture with carved bears, spectacular views from all rooms, roll-in shower, full bath with tub upstairs, sleeper sofa, extra bed in loft, books and games, breakfast bar. Cabin is decorated in a bear and mountain theme. Great sunset deck is THE most popular place to sit. Two (2) sunrise decks. Paved road all the way to Eagles View.
Great for honeymoon, anniversary, romance, small families and just a great vacation.
View soaring eagles & hawks during the day and the Milky Way at night. Romantic and private, exciting and peaceful. 20-30 minutes from Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, Townsend and Sevierville. Only a few miles from the less-traveled 'Wear Valley' entrance to the Smokies and Cades Cove. Eagles View is a place to remember.
This cabin has it all -- many pieces of hand-crafted cypress and mesquite furniture, WIRELESS INTERNET, close to Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, yet fantastic sunrise and sunset views to keep you right here!
Eagles View has lot of repeat guests! Here are a few notes from the cabin's guest book: "We love your cabin" ... "been coming (to the area) for years...best place by far" ... "We will definitely be back." "We will always remember our stay at Eagles View."

Map & Owner's Profile
Deluxe Cabin with 360 Mountain Views - Perfect Spring Fling
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Wears Valley
We fell in love with the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and bought our first cabin, Eagles View, in 2005. The VIEWS on this ridge were the BEST VIEWS anywhere in the area! Eagles View was destroyed in a fire in March 2007,but the view was still there so we rebuilt and were renting again by Thanksgiving 2007. We made the cabin truly wheelchair accessible, which has been a wonderful blessing!
We also love the friendly people in the area and hiking in the park. This is our favorite place to vacation and we come to the mountains several times a year.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
The views are incredible -- hard to feel much closer to heaven than this. The cabin is just minutes from the Wears Valley entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park for some of the best hiking and scenery anywhere in the country! This entrance puts you 1/2 way between Gatlinburg and Cades Cove! If you want other activities, Pigeon Forge is just 10 miles away.
Eagles View is fully wheelchair accessible - we worked hard during the 2007 building process to ensure this and you can read our reviews to see how that has made many families very happy! Connie can help you rent several of the cabins on our ridge for a group vacation.
There are some local hang gliders who take off from our ridge occasionally & we are hoping to catch them in action soon!
We visit several times a year to hike to a new waterfall and keep our cabins in A+ shape.
The cabin is less than 10 minutes from the "secret" Wears Valley entrance which puts you halfway between Cades Cove and Gatlinburg

We returned from one of the most relaxing and fun vacations we have ever had. Everybody had a great time. The weather was kind of crazy at first. It rained really hard on Thursday and Friday mornings but cleared up in the afternoons to the most fantastic sunsets. And then it was mainly sunny for the rest of the time. This morning we got up early and we were literally above the clouds. The only thing you could see was the peak in front of Eagles View with the clouds below it; it was great. We ziplined and tubed and went to Gatlinburg. Thanks you so much from everyone and myself for a much needed family bonding and wonderful vacation.

We had a wonderful time. The only thing wrong was that it went by too fast. The cabin was beautifully decorated and the view absolutely breathtaking. Thank you for putting so much thought into everything that was so accessible. When I saw the microwave down low I was so excited that I could make my own popcorn and instant coffee. We have all wood floors at home and a shower with a seat but that shower was great the way the handle could slide down at my level. I loved it. I would have been perfectly happy to get up there and not leave at all three days but my kids and family wanted to go and do. The third day I did stay at the cabin and rest while they ran around, and I really enjoyed it. I would like to go back next year on our anniversary in June with my husband. Every where I have ever stayed since my stroke I can think of at least one thing I’d change but not at yours it was so thoughtfully done. Thanks for all the help making arrangements also.

Thank you for sharing your mountain retreat with us. Our time here was just what we needed. Some well deserved R&R. We started each day watching the sunrise from the 2nd floor balcony. God provided a picture in motion just for us! It was well worth the early wake up. Wouldn’t have missed it for anything & we have great pictures to remember the moments. You’ve thought of wonderful ways to enhance our vacation with the cabin furnishings. You provided us a place to stay – God provided the rest !

Thanks for allowing us to stay in your cabin. We were here on our Honeymoon. This was a wonderful place to spend it. We loved all the views and beautiful sunsets. All of the decorations were beautiful . . . Neither of us had played Wii before. That was a blast. Bowling was my favorite. K loved golfing. We only wish our week stay was not over so soon. We hope to be able to return to your cabin at another time. Maybe even the larger one with a group of friends. Thanks for making your cabin accessible to me and my chair. Most everything I was able to do on my own. Thanks for thinking of those of us with special needs!

Rest & restore, What more can one ask but to rejuvenate both body and soul. “Eye candy” comes to mind when describing the vistas and ever changing views above the clouds at times. Missing were sounds of traffic & the hum of modern life. No sirens to pierce the psyche. One could consider any endeavor that is nourished by solitude. For me, it is plein air watercolor.

Had a wonderful, wonderful time with my daughter. Loved the cabin very much . . . I can't begin to tell you how great the shower is. It enabled me to do for myself - which I always want to do - but haven't been able to for some time. ... a peaceful retreat . . .

Wow! We had such a grand time. The views, the atmosphere, the decor . . . we loved it all! L had a blast on the Wii. Even Mom & Dad are addicted! L's chair negotiated the spaces with minimal problem - such a relief to find a place accessible that SHE can enjoy. Thanks for sharing your home with us.
