Reviews
Gale
The home was wonderful! The colorful leaves leaving us vibrant views (including an unforgettable sunset) were amazing! Everything was top notch from the decor, the fireplaces, the high ceilings, and the outdoor gathering spaces. There were even utensils for our fireside s'mores! The DreamCloud mattress in the primary bedroom was the most comfortable I've ever slept on. I even teared up when having to leave. ;-) One of our guests said she didn't see any "bunnies" from "bucks and bunnes"...our only negative, ha! You might want to warn those without 4 wheel drive (or all wheel drive) to not park in the lower driveway. We'll see you again for a booking soon!! Many Thanks!!

Eagles Nest is an up-and-coming community, with construction currently going on in several of its neighborhoods. Construction noises may be heard 7am-7pm Monday through Saturday.
Please note that all Eagles Nest homes have internet, but some areas of travel may not have cell reception.
The property is set up for light housekeeping, including linens and towels. We provide a STARTER SET of toilet tissue, paper towels, bath toiletries, dish soap, and trash bags. This is enough for one or two nights, but if you are staying for an extended length of time, you should plan to bring some supplies from home or plan to purchase these items at a grocery store when you arrive.
We provide one towel and washcloth per person that each respective house accommodates, plus a few extra towels if there is a hot tub. The beds are made up with clean linens (except bunks, sleepers, and futons, but linens are provided on site). If you routinely use two towels after bathing, you may need to bring some of your own.
This home comes equipped with a basic set of cookware, sufficient plates & silverware for the occupancy of the home, and basic serving and baking dishes. Most homes do not have unusual items such as crockpots or blenders, so if you’re planning a dish that requires an unusual item, it is best to bring that from your home.
This home is not stocked with cooking oils or spices, hairdryers, condiments, coffee, coffee filters, or food storage items, including plastic wrap or foil.
