We loved our stay!!!
The house, amenities, community, etc. was absolutely perfect for our 3 families!
Our kids ranged from 14 to 3 and everyone was happy and had a blast! The adults took the 3 bedrooms and the little kids slept in the 3 level bunk in the loft. It was a perfect fit!
There wasn't much snow on the ground but we found patches of it and had so much fun at the community tee-pee village, hiking trails and playground areas.
Our group is from Florida and we drove up in 4WDs. For planning, it's helpful to note that the drive from the entrance of the community up to this house took us about 15 mins each way. The road up to the house was steep, curvy, with very few guard rails/barriers and very, very beautiful. It happened to be really foggy during our time there which made this drive a little more challenging, so we were a little anxious going to/from house. (Full disclosure...We are all true Floridians (rarely drive on non-flat roads), so we were probably driving slower than most who are more accustomed to any elevation above sea level.) Since this development was so new at the time of our trip, GPS hadn't caught up yet but will be shortly for sure which would be helpful too.
The community management is very helpful and accessible. They said the community actively growing/ developing the roads, community maps, signage, etc. are all improving day by day which will make getting around a little easier.
We made day trips for the Alpine Coaster, Grandfather Mtn Mile High Bridge, and Tubing at Sugar Mountain. I recommend all - very fun! The community really has SO much to offer, even if you don't go into town for other activities!
We are definitely heading back to Eagles Nest next year!!
Very Happily,
The Florida Crew
