About this property

Eagle's Nest ♿️ Overlooking Fontana Lake and the Great Smoky Mountains Ntl Park

"Eagle’s Nest" is a 2 Bedroom/2 Full Bathroom, ♿️ Wheelchair Accessible 1,562 (inc. Decks) sq ft cabin for rent on 12 acres 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 Nest 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", "One of 8 Small Towns Near Stunning Nature" by Orbitz, and Trip Advisor ranked Bryson City as "The #1 Beautiful Little Mountain Town in America!" Southern Living featured Eagle's Nest on the cover of an article titled, "8 Secluded Southern Stays Where the Views Don't Get Any Better!"
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 3 hours north of Atlanta GA.

Beautiful view!
We recently spent six nights here and the property was as described. Spectacular view overlooking the river in the mountains. The beds were very, very comfortable. Host was very good with communication. I give this property a five star but in reality I would give it a 4.9. The reason being is that there is no dining area and the barstools are very high so eating at the counter top requires your hips at countertop level. Spoke to the owner and they will be replacing the stools, which is a good move, also I would suggest improving the lighting in the kitchen, quite dark. With that said, I highly recommend a visit to Eagles nest. Also make note that there are three cabins on the property.

Breathtaking Views!
I would highly recommend staying here. It was very clean and cozy with amazing views. We saw an eagle right after arriving. There are 2 cabins close but you have bushes/trees blocking the other houses so it did not bother me or my wife any. Host was very detailed on directions to cabin.

We had the most wonderful time staying at this property. The views really do take your breath away and the night sky was gorgeous during our stay. We also saw eagles on a couple of occasions. The property is very clean and was perfect for 2 couples and a child. All the essentials required were provided for and we had everything that we needed. Would highly recommend!

Amazing cabin with incredible views!
We had an amazing time at the cabin!! It was incredibly clean and everything was as listed. We even saw an eagle one of the days. What an amazing thanksgiving we had!! The hosts were super friendly and responsive. They provided us with lots of useful information. Would definitely book again!!! The only flaw would be that the sleeper sofa isn’t functional. Once we opened the sleeper sofa one end of it would collapse and wouldn’t stay up. In addition, when we tried laying down on it we could feel the support beams/springs.

Nantahala Train Ride Trip
My husband and I brought our grandsons up to ride the train to the Nantahala! We have rented another on site condo last year! It was such a wonderful experience that we thought we would book again to celebrate some birthdays. The cabin is phenomenal! The views are out of this world! And it is so quiet at night when you sit out to look at the stars! Always easy to check in! The cabin is well-decorated! I would highly recommend it if you are looking for a relaxing getaway! So close to town as well!

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 Nest soon after starting the build of Eagle's Landing (our first completed cabin) 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 Nest 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 Nest to give our guests the feeling they were floating on water...and sometimes in clouds. From the Living Room and both Bedrooms there are French Doors that open out onto a 728 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

We designed and built 'Eagle's Nest' to accommodate anyone. This cabin is ♿️ wheelchair accessible with a sidewalk and wheelchair ramp. The large master bedroom and master bathroom include enough space to turn a wheelchair within a 5 foot radius. Without much extra time and materials, we've tried to create a thoughtful home, keeping everyone in mind.
We call this cabin Eagle's Nest because Bald Eagles are always near by the cabin. They can be seen flying close to the cabin's deck, playing in the air at eye level, and even diving into the lake after a fish. This is an unforgettable experience.
