About this property

The Cabin on Eagles Nest

Discover the magic of the Smokies in this hand built, rustic log cabin perched on Eagle's Nest Mountain high above the quaint town of Waynesville. Enjoy our beautiful four and a half acre mountainside setting with pond, stream, seasonal gardens and mature hardwoods.

The cabin, with its perfect location in a cozy, secluded setting, sleeps up to 4 people. Downstairs, the master suite has a queen-sized bed, roomy closet and attached bathroom with Jacuzzi tub/shower. Upstairs, the open loft has two double beds and bathroom with shower. Relax inside by the stone, wood-burning fireplace or outside in a rocking chair on the wrap-around porch. Additional amenities include a fully-equipped kitchen, wi-fi internet, TV/DVD, CD player/stereo (with speakers in the main room, master bedroom and front porch) and land line telephone. The recent addition of a fire pit behind the cabin adds further opportunity to relax.

Waynesville has long been known for its picturesque small-town charm. You will find friendly people, great shops, restaurants and tree-shaded benches to sit on and rest a spell. In season, ole ‘timey street dances and annual festivals fill the little town with excitement, but with none of the hassle of crowds and honky-tonk typical of “tourist traps.”

There is so much to do while you’re here. Explore the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Pisgah National Forest or the Biltmore Estate. Ride and hike the Blue Ridge Parkway. Golf down the road at Laurel Ridge Country Club, raft the Nantahala, ski Catalouchee, ride horseback…or simply kick back and watch the traffic at the bird feeders.

Ideal Location for a Mountain Getaway

The cabin was great, and the location was perfect for what we wanted. It's up enough into the mountains to feel remote, while also being less than 10 minutes from downtown to enjoy shopping and dining. Bill was very responsive any time we had questions and the cabin had everything we needed to enjoy our stay!

It was the perfect place to unplug and rest. The cabin was situated in an area that made it seem secluded but was only 10 minutes from downtown. We really enjoyed our stay.

Weekend Away

My mom and I decided to spend a weekend in the mountains while she was visiting. The cabin was exactly as advertised and we had a great stay. The check in and out process was simple and the owner was very easy to get ahold of. I would definitely recommend this cabin to those wanting to stay in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Bill Trufant

Host profile image
I was raised in New Orleans, where I still live, and attended summer camp in Western North Carolina. My wife and I purchased The Cabin on Eagles Nest along with our second residence in 2001 and we love spending as much time as possible in the mountains.

Why they chose this property

We love Waynesville and its friendly people and we are only 30 minutes from downtown Asheville.

What makes this property unique

We have a large garden, available for our guests to wander and enjoy, that keeps us busy when we are in the mountains. After gardening, it's time to relax and travel Western North Carolina. We especially enjoy sunsets at Water Rock Knob on the Blue Ridge Parkway just 15 minutes away.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
