Reviews
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Black Bear Den in Eagles Nest! The décor struck the perfect balance of cozy mountain charm and modern comfort—it felt both luxurious and welcoming from the moment we walked in. The views were nothing short of breathtaking, especially from the deck, where we spent mornings with coffee and evenings soaking in the scenery. The location couldn't have been better—close to all the activities Eagles Nest has to offer, which made our days full of adventure and fun without much travel. One of the highlights of our trip was dinner at Epic, which lived up to its name with amazing food and atmosphere. Overall, our stay was seamless, relaxing, and full of special moments. We can't recommend Black Bear Den highly enough and are already looking forward to our next visit!
