About this property
Modern Cottage on the Susquehanna River
Located directly on the Susquehanna River in The Endless Mountains, “The Eagles Nest" has all the modern amenities you need, while still making you feel cozy and at home in this charming cottage. Enjoy dinner on the 3 season porch or relax on the large deck and watch the Eagles and wildlife from the perfect vantage point. Families and friends can kayak, fish or simply lounge and read a book. Bring your boat and launch directly from the property (we highly recommend a 4WD truck to launch your boat). In the evenings you can have a campfire (wood is supplied for you) or light the propane fireplace on the deck. And if you want to leave the house, you can take a 15 minute drive to Tunkhannock to visit the wineries or antique stores. The vacation possibilities are endless!

Excellent stay for the month while working nearby. No issues at all with any part of the rental. The water filtering mechanism is a great seller. So good i am testing my water at my home in Maine and will be installing the same type of unit. Heating and AC were great and needed both at different times of the stay. The mattress' in the main floor, only floor used, were also the best I have rented in the many years of working on the road. Communication was 10/10 also. A great stay!

Thanks, Tim! We would love to have you back. You were a great guest! - Holly
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this home in Pennsylvania. It was completely relaxing and tranquil, exactly what we needed. The property is beautifully maintained and offers plenty of amenities that made our stay comfortable and stress-free.We especially appreciated the special touches throughout the house. You can tell the hosts truly care about their guests’ experience. And the view? Absolutely amazing. Waking up to that scenery each day was unforgettable.We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway!
first time at Eagles Nest and we can’t wait to come back. Absolutely amazing snowy peaceful stay with our pups. best way to welcome 2026. you can’t beat the panoramic views and beautiful icy river flowing in the back. house was comfy, clean, & great amenities. Couldn’t get enough of the porch and the swing. hopefully we’ll be back to experience the warmer weather and all this place has to offer. Thank you for a fantastic stay!
The accommodation was delightful! Gorgeous views, beautifully appointed home that addressed every convenience, great place for our dogs and for us in every way. We were able to prepare all our meals there with ease. Holly is on top of everything and great to work with.
The house is well appointed and so clean! The view from the deck and the location are amazing. We were out on the river everyday fishing, swimming and kayaking. Overall, a really nice place to reconnect with family and relax.
This was our 4th time staying at this property and we had an amazing time. We love the view from the porch and the kayaking. Will definetely be back next year.
Clean, welcoming, cozy, and spacious! Everything we could have asked for! The property and area are beautiful, and our hosts were fantastic. Their communication was clear and open, and they were very accommodating! We are looking forward to booking another trip here soon!!
10/07/25. We enjoyed our visit very much. The house is immaculate. The neighborhood is so quiet. We spent most of our time just relaxing on the deck watching the herons and eagles. There's games, books, kayaks, etc. available
The property perfectly accommodated 2 adults, 4 teens snd 2 dogs. There was plenty of parking. We enjoyed kayaking, fishing, and spending time by the fire. The kitchen is very well stocked. Pictures don’t do this location justice.
We loved our stay at the Eagles Nest. The property was even better in-person than in photos, and the layout was perfect for our two families. The kids loved the loft. The deck was the perfect place to relax and eat meals. Owner very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful stay at this property. The host was welcoming, responsive and knowledgeable about the area, and the house had everything we need for a wonderful stay. We hope to be back for a visit soon!
This house was beautiful, clean, open, and exactly what is pictured. There are lots of amenities and we had plenty to do while staying there. At night the backyard can get pretty buggy but with games and a TV we were all set. Holly was responsive, kind and gracious. I would recommend this house to anyone that asked.
The Eagle’s Nest property is a hidden gem situated on the Susquehanna River. The home is immaculate and designed so well. The huge deck, the privacy and the view were major benefits for us. We loved every minute of our stay. Holly was a pleasure to deal with throughout our booking process and our short visit. Hope to revisit soon.
This place is definitely a 5-star!!! We utilized this retreat as an Easter getaway with friends and family, plus our dogs! It's beautiful, well maintained and has everything you can think of! The river out front, the beautiful scenery, the swings, the deck, the fully stocked kitchen (with my favorite little cheese cutters), all the ammentities, the kayaks- everything! Fantastic getaway!!!
I highly recommend this cottage on the river…a very relaxing and peaceful setting with all the amenities needed for a great vacation. The owner is super responsive and we could not have been happier with the accommodations!
We had an amazing time staying here. The home was beautiful and very clean. The card and bottle of wine was a very nice gesture and the view from the deck was amazing. We will definitely be staying here again.
