Beautiful Cabin

My wife and spent an extended weekend here and we really enjoyed the cabin. The bed was comfortable and the water/showers were hot with plenty of pressure. The view was amazing and the hot tub was very nice at night. You are very close to other cabins, but they are situated in such a way that everything remains private. We went during the winter months and were charged for firewood ($35, listing said $30). However, upon reading the instructions we realized that fee only provided about 8 pieces of wood. Not great if you will be there for a week! The outdoor wood was not included and you were instructed not to use it indoors. Also, the flue would not stay open. This led to panic on more than one occasion as smoke began to build. It was a dangerous situation that I could NOT get anyone to communicate with me about to this day (even though I have asked to speak with someone). Other than that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Hi Robert, Thank you so much for sharing your review! We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your visit to the Eagles Nest cabin and found the beds to be comfortable and water pressure to be plentiful. We know how important those things can be to travelers and we are thrilled to hear you enjoyed those amenities at the cabin. We want to first apologize for the firewood confusion as we do have a mandatory $30 wood fee for all winter reservations at cabins with wood burning fireplaces. The delivery should have included a full load of wood which is about 30 pieces to be used in the wood burning fireplace inside the cabin. It is very important to use the proper wood when enjoying fires inside the cabin to ensure the integrity of the fireplace is maintained, which is why we include that fee on winter reservations. We did have the fireplace flue repaired and it is now safely working for future enjoyment. Communication is very important to us with all of our guests that we host, and we are very sorry to hear that we were not on top of the communication with you on this issue during your stay. We are happy you were still able to enjoy your visit and we would love to welcome you back for another visit again soon!

Great stay at Eagles Nest!

Amazing cabin in Bryson City for a get away! Cabin was spotless and super nice! In a great location overlooking Fontana Lake and very relaxing. My GF and I loved the hot tub as well as just sitting on the deck and enjoying a quiet evening. I would definitely stay again and I’ll recommend it to any of my friends wanting a nice weekend away!

Exactly as advertised

We had a wonderful stay at Eagle Nest. It was quiet and peaceful- just what we needed. The hot tub felt amazing after a day of hiking Deep Creek and viewing the falls. We had a fun day trip on the Great Smokey Mountains Railroad. The Road to Nowhere was really cool. For dinner, we discovered a local gem in town- Everett Diner. We can’t wait to return and explore the area even more.

One Word ~ INCREDIBLE!!!

This property was everything it claimed to be. The photos were EXACTLY what was delivered, and the view was gorgeous! The property was clean, and every décor detail was delightful. The cabin was well stocked with anything I might need. Check in and out were a breeze. I couldn't ask for more and can't wait to return!

Fantastic Birthday

We rented this location for my 45th birthday celebration and it was absolutely perfect! It was so peaceful and very close to Bryson City and the Nantahala Outdoor Center. The views of the back deck were spectacular! 10/10 will rent from Carolina Mountain Vacations again, already planning a trip for next summer.
