Hands down the most beautiful place I've ever stayed at !!!! Beautifully decorated , spotlessly clean and located in the gated community with plenty of amenities like playgrounds or mini golf ! Surrounded by wildlife - during our short stay we saw a bear , raccoons , deer , skunk …. Lastly , wonderful host - patiently helping me with directions and even sending out an employee to meet me and guide me to the cabin . We highly recommend the place and hope to return soon !

Things you need to know
Eagles Nest is an up-and-coming community, with construction currently going on in several of its neighborhoods. Construction noises may be heard 7 am to 7 pm Monday through Saturday.
Firewood may be added at the time of booking or by reaching out to us more than a week in advance. You receive two wrapped bundles and a fire starter for $25/night.
The summer concerts are open to all guests; however, there may be an admission fee for each person and a cash bar for food and drinks.
All Eagles Nest homes have internet, but some areas of travel may not have cell reception.
There is an additional $35 per night amenity fee (max $175) in order to maintain the luxurious facilities and features in the development.
Guests are responsible for supplying their own recreational equipment (basketballs, soccer balls, tennis equipment etc.)
All properties are set up for light housekeeping, including linens and towels. We provide a starter kit of toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, hand soap, bathroom toiletries, laundry detergent, and garbage bags. It’s enough for one or two nights, but will likely not be enough to get you through your entire stay. 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.
Homes are not stocked with cooking oils or spices, hairdryers, condiments, coffee, coffee filters, or food storage items including plastic wrap or foil. Our homes come 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 crock pots or blenders, so if you’re planning a dish that requires an unusual item it is best to bring that from your home.
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.
