About this property

Eagle's Landing -Overlooking Fontana Lake and the Great Smoky Mountains Ntl Park

Eagle’s Landing is a 2 Bedroom/2 Full Bathroom, chemical fragrance free and Medical Medium friendly!
1,345 (inc. Decks) sq ft cabin for rent on 12 acres in Bryson City, NC that overlooks Fontana Lake and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This land is bordered on 3 sides by 600 acres of the Nantahala National Forest. Lake access and pontoon rentals are available just a few short minutes from the cabin.
Eagle’s Landing was designed and built by local artists and craftsmen with great attention to every detail. This is brand new construction with thoughtful furnishings that include one-of-a-kind artwork, decor and handmade furniture crafted by the owners. Be at peace knowing these homes are completely free of any toxic fragrances or chemical cleaners. There are no air fresheners, plug ins, scented candles, incense, commercial laundry soaps or fabric softeners. We wash all of the linens, shower curtains, bath mats etc. in house to insure they are cleaned without any toxic commercial soaps, stain removers, or bleach. We use non toxic cleaning supplies like Unscented Seventh Generation, BonAmi, BioKleen, peroxide, vinegar, and baking soda. This entire 12 acre property has NEVER been sprayed with pesticide. We are aware of how these toxic commercial fragrances have a burning effect on the nerves, can perpetuate a weakened immune system, deplete the nervous system, and cause several other chronic health symptoms. Rejoice in knowing that inside our homes and outside in the surrounding hundreds of acres of National Forest, clean air and oxygen are absorbed with every breath.
Voted one of the "Top Ten Outdoor Towns in the East" by Outdoor Magazine, one of the Smithsonian's "20 Best Small Towns to Visit in 2016", one of eight Small Towns Near Stunning Nature by Orbitz, and Trip Advisor ranked Bryson City as the #1 Beautiful Little Mountain Town in America!
Discover what’s great about Bryson City, a peaceful mountain town bordering the Great Smoky Mountains National Park with unique shops, galleries, lodging and restaurants. Surrounding our small town, there’s a rich vacation paradise — rafting and kayaking on the Nantahala River, boating and fishing on Fontana Lake, scenic railroad excursions, world class trout streams and mountain biking on the famous Tsali trails. We have creeks for tubing, trails for hiking, horseback riding, and beautiful waterfalls. We’re home to the Cherokee Indian Reservation and the North Carolina half of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. ..and we’re close — just an hour west of Asheville NC and three hours north of Atlanta GA.

Best View in Bryson City
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Eagles Landing. Our family of four drove down from Minnesota to visit the Smokies and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the space. The view was certainly the main attraction, but the living space was great as well. Very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend!

Breathtaking and serene
The pictures on the VRBO listing are accurate but do not do justice to the view of the Tuckaseegee below and Smoky Mountains horizon. This retreat was exactly what we needed. The 2 bedroom cabin sits right on the edge of the mountain with completely unobscured views from family room, 1 bedroom, and the nice large covered porch. The property was spotlessly clean with comfortable beds and well stocked kitchen needs. We highly recommend this beautiful vacation rental.

Heaven on Earth
My family of four have been coming to WNC almost yearly for 15 years. We have stayed in a variety of cabin rentals. Some obscenely luxurious and others on a budget. Eagles Landing is hands down the most majestic stay we have ever had out to this region. I never wanted to leave. We live in a busy suburb. This was the most quiet place we have ever stayed. You will only hear the sounds of nature and the occasional boat down on the lake which will inspire you to rent your own just a short drive up the road (Alarka Marina was fantastic). This is a rare time where the promo materials 100 percent match with what you are receiving. The home is fresh, new and clean. The kitchen easy to prepare meals in. The beds comfortable. The deck a beautiful way to start and end the day. If you are lucky you will wake up in the clouds. The natural landscaping makes this cabin feel private despite their other large cabin being right next door. We really cannot wait to plan our next trip to this house. We feel lucky to have been able to stay here.

Amazing Getaway
We are weary grandparents needing a getaway from raising a teenage grandson. This was the perfect place for us! We could relax on the deck and watch the sunrise and/or sunset (usually both) over the Smoky Mountains and still plan day trips to ride the Great Smoky Mountain train out of Bryson City or take a day and drive to Clingman's Dome and Newfound Gap (even on into Gatlinburg ). But our favorite was just sitting on the deck and taking in the scenery of the Smokies and Fontana Lake. The cabin was well supplied with cookware, so we fixed nearly all of our meals there and always ate on the deck. Talk about the perfect setting for a meal...wow! The hosts did a great job providing information prior to our trip and had a booklet of information waiting on the counter upon our arrival. Couldn't have asked for a better getaway! Be prepared for a lot of curvy roads to get to the cabin, though. Coming from a flat cornfield area in Indiana, it took a bit of adjustment to driving the mountainous roads of TN & NC, but by day 2, we had a pretty good grip on how to drive on this terrain.

One of our favorite places to stay!
We just love staying at Shannon and Michelle's cabins. This is our third time staying here. What an amazing, beautiful, peaceful retreat. The time spent here is so relaxing. Oh what an incredible view! Their cabins are always immaculately clean and the beds are comfortable. They are great hosts, attentive to all your needs. We got to see an eagle which was a real treat. We will definitely be returning, Lord's will.

Turn off your phone and enjoy
Seriously, turn off your phone and enjoy the view all day and night. This is a magnificent hidden gem with everything needed to be your weekend home away from a busy life. The view is everything and the pictures are just a fraction of the beauty. The stary sky away from civilization is quite beautiful too. There's internet too, but you really won't need it.

Perfect Getaway
Our stay was absolutely perfect, from the directions up to home to the attention to detail once we were inside. We were a group of five and I so appreciate when there are enough seats for everyone to be comfortable. The home felt really spacious and well laid out, and the view from the deck was worth wrapping up with a blanket and a book to enjoy! There was local coffee stocked in the kitchen as well as menus for local restaurants. The starter supplies were generous, and you can tell the owner wants every guest to feel welcome and relaxed for their stay. Thank you for a fantastic stay!

Second Stay
This was our second time staying at Eagles Landing. The place for us is perfect for viewing the fall leaves and visiting apple orchards. The surrounding area has a lot to offer. Always a craft festival or market to visit and the Great Smokey Mountains is perfect for never ending activity. Returning to the Cabin before dark to relax on the deck overlooking the lake with the beautiful colors of Fall surrounding us while watching the sun go down keeps us coming back. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

About the host

Hosted by Michelle and Shannon

Host profile image
My husband and I purchased 12 acres of land in 2013 surrounded by the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the Nantahala National Forest. Little did we know (for the thick pine saplings) that we had a Million Dollar View of a Horseshoe Bend on Fontana Lake and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park! It took viewing Google Maps to see what a gem we had found. We moved to Bryson City after selling our home and printing business in Fletcher NC (close to Asheville). My husband grew up in Bryson City, and I fell in love with this "Gateway to the Smokies" town when we built a house boat at Almond Boat Park in 2013, that now floats on Fontana Lake. We started building Eagle's Landing in Nov 2014 with the help of some great friends and a very talented builder.
This is a completely different lifestyle than we're used to, and we are incredibly Grateful for all the Love, Support, and Divine Miracles that We have been Blessed with along the way. Now we're ready to share Eagle's Landing with the world!

Why they chose this property

There's a Peace here that we've never felt before. This place is awe - inspiring. It almost forces you to stop in your tracks every time you look outside. We built Eagle's Landing to give our guests the feeling they were floating on water...and sometimes in clouds. From the Living Room and Master Bedroom there are French Doors that open out onto a 445 sq ft (partially covered) deck that extends out over top of Fontana Lake. From the theatrical morning sunrise to the day's last light, the show this magical place performs is ever changing and always jaw dropping.

What makes this property unique

Eagle’s Landing was designed and built by local artists and craftsmen with great attention to every detail. This cabin is not wheelchair accessible, however it is one level and designed to accommodate most anyone.
We call this cabin Eagle's Landing because Bald Eagles land in the pines just 10 feet away from the cabin deck. They're curious and feel very comfortable 'landing' so close to this cabin. It is an unforgettable experience.
