The best!

Kid and pet friendly, well stocked, every detail thought of, modern and clean while retaining the mountain cabin vibes we love! The bunk room was awesome for kids/ teens to have their own space. Pretty view from the deck. There is some construction in the area but the noise was not disruptive. Would definitely stay again.

Best Yet

The house is beautiful, so well-equipped and perfect for families. The outdoor seating and fire pit were our favorite spot and there is even a small grill at the fire pit. Having two areas to relax on two floors made a nice separation for the adults and kids when needed. Eagles Nest had fun offerings that meant we didn’t have to leave the mountain every day. We have rented in the area for a decade and this was the best home by far.

A wonderful Fall family trip to Banner Elk

My family and I recently stayed at The Guardian Bear Lodge in the Eagles Nest development near Banner Elk, NC, and what I can say is the property greatly exceeded our expectations. Not only was the house fantastic, but the Eagles Nest development, where the house was located, was awesome - just a beautiful location with stunning Fall mountain views, with a ton of activities available to the family. We will definitely be going back, and I cannot recommend this house or the Eagles Nest development more highly. A 5 Star experience in every facet, to include the property management and rental service.

Beautiful home and floor plan with amazing views

We loved the home and it was very clean inside and very well maintained. We love this area and would definitely come back again. Only complaint is we called customer service to tell them about the dirty hot tub and long grass as no where for dogs to go bathroom and they said they would take care of issue but no one ever came out and helped with the issue so once you get to home be prepared if you need anything no one comes out to help so property is the way they have it ready but it is beautiful and overall very clean and people are very friendly

Spectacular Guardian Bear Lodge!

My husband and I decided to do a short getaway to celebrate both my birthday and our adult daughter’s birthday. All there is to say it’s that we had an amazing time! The property it’s very well appointed, excellently designed and included many amenities! The views were beautiful! Also staying at Eagles Nest Lodge was totally enjoyable. We played mini golf and pickle ball with our grandkids! This was an unforgettable birthday !
