About this property

Eagles Nest - Breathtaking Lake & Mountain Views,

Wake up above Fontana Lake. Soak in your private hot tub while the Smoky Mountains stretch out in front of you. And keep your eyes on the sky—you may see a bald eagle land in the pines just outside your deck.

Welcome to Eagle’s Nest, a private 2-bedroom, 2-bath mountain cabin in beautiful Bryson City, North Carolina.

This isn't just a place to sleep while you explore the Smokies.

This is the place you come back to for the view.

🌄 THE VIEW YOU CAME FOR

Step outside and take in the breathtaking combination of Fontana Lake and the surrounding Smoky Mountains.

Pour yourself a cup of coffee and enjoy the morning from the deck.

Spend the afternoon watching the mountains change with the light.

Then, when evening arrives, slip into the hot tub and watch the colors fade across the mountains.

At night, gather around the fire pit and enjoy the peacefulness of being surrounded by nature.

There is no need to rush.

The view is your entertainment.

🦅 YES, THERE REALLY ARE EAGLES

We named this cabin Eagle’s Nest for a reason.

Bald eagles have been known to land in the pine trees just outside the cabin—sometimes remarkably close to the deck.

Imagine relaxing outside and suddenly realizing an eagle has joined you for the view.

Wildlife is never guaranteed, of course, but sightings are one of the unforgettable experiences that make this mountain retreat so special.

Bring your camera. Keep your eyes open. You never know what might fly by.

♨️ YOUR PRIVATE HOT TUB WITH A VIEW

After hiking the Smokies, exploring Bryson City, spending a day on the lake, or simply enjoying the mountains, come home to your own private hot tub.

Relax.

Unwind.

Look out over the mountains.

And let the rest of the world wait.

You'll also have a fire pit and BBQ grill, making it easy to spend the evening outside together.

🏡 EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO SETTLE IN

Eagle’s Nest comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests with:

• 2 bedrooms
• 2 full bathrooms
• Approximately 950 square feet of living space
• Large decks with mountain and lake views
• Fully equipped kitchen
• Comfortable living area
• Private hot tub
• Fire pit
• BBQ grill
• EV charger
• Wi-Fi
• TVs
• Washer & dryer

The cabin gives you the comfort and conveniences you want while still feeling like a genuine mountain escape.

❤️ MADE FOR MEMORIES

Some of the best parts of a Smoky Mountain vacation happen when you're not doing anything at all.

Morning coffee on the deck.

A slow breakfast with the people you came with.

Watching an eagle circle above the lake.

Coming home after a day of adventure and sinking into the hot tub.

Sitting around the fire after dark.

We loved our stay @ Eagles Nest. Everything was as advertised, we saw eagles, our neighbors saw black bears one evening, we were not home. Lots of boaters. We stayed 6 nights and the house is perfect for two couples. Great place to relax and enjoy Gods creations and beautiful mornings and evenings. Would stay here again. Be sure to visit Dales Wheels Through Time in Maggie Valley!

We enjoyed our stay in this cabin. It’s cozy, comfortable and quiet. We never tired of the lake view, enjoying the outdoors at both ends of the day. Lots to do in the area. A pontoon rental on Fontana Lake is strongly recommended in season. Bryson City is a great mountain town with great coffee shops in particular.

We had a wonderful stay and views were incredible! Only reason for 4 stars is you can hear everything from other cabins next to you. I specifically asked about privacy. Yes, you can't see your neighbors but you can hear every word they say if out on the decks. Unfortunately we had fighting neighbors for 3 of the nights who loved the F word. Not our place to go over there and say take it inside. We rent private homes to not have to listen to other people. Just wanted people to be aware how close these cabins actually are. If your okay with that, it's really gorgeous view.

Thank you for staying with us and for sharing your thoughts. I’m glad you enjoyed the beautiful view from our cabin—I’m sorry the noise levels impacted your peace and quiet, and we’ll look into ways to improve sound management, but, having said that, just like the hot tub smell, you said nothing until the night before checkout and you said not a word about a noise issue until now, two weeks after the fact. Reading through all your messages, I find no questions about privacy. No, it isn’t your place to ask the neighbor to “take it inside” but it would have been my place to ask them if you had let me know about it. We pride ourselves in proving great stays for our guests but we can’t fix a problem if we don’t know about it. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back in the future.

View like no other! We arrived in the middle of the night, so were surprised by the gorgeous view in the morning not only do you have that beautiful view from the patio but also from both bedrooms and the living room. Would strongly recommend arriving during the day so that you can see the roads and the driveway. Home was well equipped. The check in and check out process were very easy. The town of Bryson is really cute with shops and restaurants. Would definitely recommend visiting the NOC. Bring the bug spray and may want citronella candles for the patio.

The property was just as described and pictured. The surroundings were super peaceful. Sitting on the deck or soaking in the hot tub and taking in that gorgeous view was therapeutic! The bed was comfortable, and everything was clean. Eagle’s Landing is the middle property of three in a row. You can hear (not what’s being said) the occupants on either side when you’re on the deck, but you can’t see them because there are privacy hedges. I only mention this because I don’t recall if it’s clear in the description. Otherwise there is nothing but nature surrounding the place.

We really enjoyed our stay in this cabin. It was very clean and updated with a fantastic view. The pictures are accurate and likely don’t do it justice. There are a cluster of three cabins at the top of the mountain but I felt there was plenty of privacy. We saw a bald eagle on our last evening, which felt like a nice end to our stay. We drove about 55 minutes to hike Charlie’s bunion from Newfound Gap. We rode the Smoky Mountain Railroad in an open air car. We visited the Oconaluftee visitor center and walked the short trail and saw a group of elk drinking nearby from the river.We definitely book another stay in the future.

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.
