The spacious dining table comfortably accommodates up to nine guests, while the living room features a cozy sofa placed near a gas fireplace and a large-screen smart TV offering live programming via YouTube TV.

KEY Curation Notes

4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, sleeps 13, across three levels in the Great Camp area of Eagles Nest. The main level king suite has a double-headed shower and double marble vanity. Upstairs are a king and queen suite, each with private bath, desk, and ceiling fan. The lower level adds a bunk room sleeping up to 7 (three sets of bunks), a full bath, and a family room with foosball and wet bar — a self-contained floor for kids or overflow.
The kitchen is genuinely professional-grade. Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf appliances, and a granite island with counter seating for three. The dining table seats nine — rare for a property at this size, where dining for the full group often requires improvising.
Private hot tub on the lower patio, outdoor wood-burning fireplace on the deck above. Two distinct outdoor setups across two levels, with a fire pit and a small creek on the grounds as well. The property sits on over an acre of trees, giving it a more private feel than many Eagles Nest homes.
Positioned in the Great Camp area. This places the lodge within easy reach of the Epic Chophouse, amphitheater, ropes course, and the community's main amenity hub — one of the more convenient locations within Eagles Nest for groups who want to use what the community offers.
Eagles Nest amenities are included, with caveats. Access covers the Epic Chophouse, amphitheater concerts, hiking trails, ropes course, sports courts, mini-golf, and the 24/7 general store. The fitness center, Wine & Cigar Bar, and locked portion of Sportsman's Lodge are members-only. Winery day passes are $25 per person.
Construction on neighboring lots is possible. New homes are being built on adjacent lots; work is permitted Monday–Saturday 7am–7pm.
4WD required November–March; chains may be necessary. Cell reception can be spotty inside the community. Linens and towels provided. KEY.co can arrange grocery delivery before check-in.

Reviews

Jason

This is our 2nd time to the area and love the amenities the community has to offer. This cabin is a good bit up the mountain, but directions were perfect and the place was even better than the pictures. We wouldn't change a thing about the cabin. The property management company had incredibly good communication and our entire trip couldn't have been better. For those who haven't been to Eagles Nest previously, take advantage of all the great amenities onsite.. Great Camp Pavillion, Play Barn, North Pavillion, putt putt, trails, etc. We truly enjoyed our time at Timber Forge and Eagles Nest
