A very beautiful cabin by the river located conveniently in the Blue Ridge
This was a perfect cabin for our small family, located by the river and ample outdoor space to enjoy the nature. It was few minutes from some great waterfalls, tracks and Grandfather mountain. We absolutely loved our stay here.

Gorgeous cabin....very clean!
Great place for a couple or small family! It is very easy to get to. Beautiful cabin has everything you need in it for a short stay. It is right off the road but the sound of the creek definitely muffles the traffic.

Not only was the cabin great, but more surprisingly was the Eagles Nest neighborhood with all of the included amenities. My kids had a blast at the Toy Barn having access to all of the different sports equipment. Overall, we had a great stay! Would go back again!

A cozy indoor place with an outdoor place to explore.
For its size, a very well built and thought out space. You will be “cozy” with the ones you love; with the opportunity to create some outside space and explore when ready! I read it was close to the road and it is close.

The cabin is absolutely adorable, with every amenity needed available. Although close to others, you never feel that way. The grounds are expertly maintained to provide privacy and the closeness of nature. The views of the creek are spectacular. Could not recommend this place more, it was everything we had hoped for.

Great weekend stay!
Loved our stay at the Riverfront Cabin. It was beautifully appointed and well-equipped. Communication with management was smooth and effortless. We received a detailed email with check-in instructions and codes prior to arriving, and everything went as planned. The outside decks were amazing and we enjoyed drinking morning coffee or an evening glass of wine overlooking the river. Our kids loved the loft, and the space was perfect for a family of four for a weekend getaway.

Cute cabin!
We loved this cabin and had everything we needed. We especially liked having access to the Eagles Nest Resort amenities across the street. Our only complaint was that the house was right on NC194 so you could hear the cars at night. (Not a whole lot of traffic though) Otherwise- great spot!!!

We were very impressed with the quality of this property from the amenities, cleanliness, and the excellent communication with the property manager Joanie.
The only downside is it’s proximity to the road. There was little more road noise than I prefer which could be a deal breaker for some. Despite that it’s definitely a 5 star property and worth renting.

I can't say enough about this cabin. It was perfect for our stay and my only regret is not booking more days. We spent an entire day on the property just exploring all the beautiful surroundings and another day nearby on the Blue Ridge Parkway. We visited nearby Grandfather Mountain and then went to Blowing Rock and Boone for the afternoon. We loved returning to the cabin and cooking meals in the kitchen. The cabin is breathtaking and very clean and the porch is amazing with the view of the creek. It was so relaxing. We could hear some road noise at times but we didnt mind it. Will definitely return!
