About this property
Wheelchair Access-Breathtaking Views of Mountains & Lake-Hot Tub-Fragrance Free
"Eagle’s Nest" is a 2 Bedroom/2 Full Bathroom, Wheelchair Accessible, chemical Fragrance Free and Medical Medium friendly! New hot tub on covered deck!
This is a 1,562 (including decks) sq ft cabin with covered hot tub that overlooks Fontana Lake and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This land is bordered 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.

About the host
Hosted by Clarissa and Mike
Shannon and Michelle purchased 12 acres of raw undeveloped land in 2013 surrounded by the Nantahala National Forest. Little did they know (for the thick foliage) that they 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 they had found. They moved to Bryson City after selling their home and printing business in Fletcher NC (close to Asheville). Shannon grew up in Bryson City, and Michelle fell in love with this "Gateway to the Smokies" town when they built a house boat at Almond Boat Park in 2013, that floats on Fontana Lake. They finished building Eagle's Nest in Oct 2015 and now share it with guests from all over 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, and on a clear night you can see the Milky Way, 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 year (2025) we witnessed the eagles building a nest on the Hickory Flats Peninsula. This is the closest part of the park projecting out into the lake. Now you can see them year round coming and going from this peninsula! This is an unforgettable experience.
