WELCOME TO YOUR SMOKEY MOUNTAIN ESCAPE!
Some places simply take your breath away. Eagles Nest Hideaway is one of them.
Perched high atop a private mountainside on three secluded acres, this custom luxury log home overlooks an endless panorama of the Great Smoky Mountains. From the moment you arrive, you'll understand why so many guests tell us the view is even more spectacular than the photographs.

Here you'll enjoy the perfect balance of peaceful mountain seclusion and convenient access to everything that makes Western North Carolina unforgettable. You're only 10 minutes from the Nantahala Outdoor Center and 25 minutes from the charming shops, restaurants, breweries, and attractions of downtown Bryson City, yet once you arrive, it feels like you've escaped to another world.
Wake before sunrise and watch the mountains slowly come alive as layers of mist drift through the valleys below. Spend your mornings sipping coffee from a rocking chair while the first light paints the Smokies in brilliant shades of gold, pink, and purple. As evening falls, gather around the fire pit, relax beneath a canopy of stars in the outdoor hot tub, or simply listen to the peaceful sounds of nature from the porch.
This isn't simply a place to stay. It's where unforgettable mountain memories begin.

RUSTIC LUXURY MEETS MOUNTAIN COMFORT:
Every detail inside Eagles Nest Hideaway was thoughtfully designed to blend rustic craftsmanship with modern comfort.
The spacious open living area welcomes you with soaring 24-foot vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, a handcrafted log staircase, and a magnificent floor-to-ceiling river rock fireplace that becomes the heart of the home.
A dramatic 24-foot wall of glass frames the mountains bringing the beauty of the Smokies indoors throughout every season.
When it's time to unwind, sink into the oversized Jacuzzi while enjoying those same incredible mountain views.
Many guests tell us they planned to spend their days exploring—but found themselves perfectly content relaxing at the cabin instead.
________________________________________
MOUNTAIN VIEWS ARE COMMON IN THE SMOKIES. THIS ONE IS UNFORGETTABLE!
Whether you're watching the multi-colored sunrise, photographing brilliant fall foliage, enjoying a peaceful snowfall in winter, or simply admiring the endless layers of blue mountains from the deck, every day offers something entirely new. It's no surprise that one of the most common comments in our guest book is:
"The pictures simply don't do the view justice."
________________________________________
A KITCHEN YOU'LL LOVE:
Many guests plan to explore Bryson City's restaurants.
Many decide they would rather cook here.
The fully equipped gourmet kitchen includes quality cookware, sharp knives, a food processor, crockpot, ample serving pieces, and everything needed to prepare everything from a casual breakfast to a holiday dinner overlooking the mountains.
A separate laundry and mudroom with a full-size washer and dryer makes longer stays especially convenient.
Guests frequently tell us it's one of the best-equipped kitchens they've experienced in a vacation rental.
________________________________________
THE PERFECT PLACE TO CELEBRATE:
Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, honeymoon, anniversary, intimate wedding, family reunion, milestone birthday, retirement celebration, or simply time away with close friends, Eagles Nest Hideaway provides an unforgettable setting.
Small special events of up to 20 guests may be considered with prior owner approval. Please contact us for event details and pricing.
________________________________________
RELAX. UNPLUG. STAY AWHILE.
Step outside and you'll quickly understand why so many guests never want to leave.
Enjoy:
• Private five-person hot tub overlooking the Smokies
• Expansive open deck with breathtaking panoramic mountain views
• Covered porch with rocking chairs—the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee or relax outside while listening to the gentle sound of a mountain rain
• Oversized fire pit with comfortable seating
• Gas grill
• Outdoor dining area
• Three private wooded acres
• Complete peace and privacy
Whether you're watching sunrise from the deck, reading beside the fireplace, soaking beneath thousands of stars, or listening to a summer rain from the covered porch, you'll find yourself slowing down and appreciating the simple pleasures that make mountain life so special.
________________________________________
ADVENTURE IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER:
Although you'll feel wonderfully secluded, some of the Smokies' most popular attractions are only minutes away.
Nearby you'll find:
• Nantahala Outdoor Center (10 minutes)
• Great Smoky Mountains National Park
• Whitewater rafting
• Ziplining
• Hiking & waterfalls
• Fly fishing
• Scenic mountain drives
• Fontana Lake & Lake Nantahala
• The Great Smoky Mountains Railroad
• Downtown Bryson City shopping, breweries & restaurants (25 minutes)
• Cherokee & Harrah's Casino

After a full day of adventure, there's nothing better than returning to Eagles Nest Hideaway, where the hot tub awaits amidst peace, privacy, and spectacular mountain views that welcome you home.

For more than 25 years Eagles Nest Hideaway has welcomed couples, families, and friends looking for something more than an ordinary vacation rental:

They come for the views.
They stay for the peace and quiet.
They return because Eagles Nest Hideaway feels like coming home.
Whether you're seeking adventure, romance, relaxation, or simply a chance to reconnect with the people who matter most, we would be honored to share our mountain home with you.
Your Smoky Mountain memories begin here.

Eagles Nest Hideaway is a place nestled high in the mountains above the clouds and is the perfect peaceful retreat. Quiet and secluded, yet easily accessible on a gravel road right up to the house. The house is near the Nantahala Outdoor Center (NOC), where you’ll find two restaurants with Bryson City 20 minutes away. Planning another trip back!

This was our third time staying here. First time was in 2013 then 2022, 2026. Stuart has been the owner for all our visits. This is why there are so many great reviews, an owner/host who truly cares about your stay and is meticulous about everything in this cabin. The best thing is you can do as much or little as you want. This stay we chose to really just relax a lot at the cabin. We had campfires, enjoyed hot tub and loved just sipping on wine taking in the views . We booked again for next May. Have used VRBO for twenty plus years and this is our favorite rental and only repeat stays.

We had a great time at the cabin. Excellent communication from the host. The views were gorgeous, the hot tub was clean, the kitchen was well stocked. White water rafting and many other outdoor activities were nearby at the NOC, which also had a great restaurant. The national park and the Blueridge Parkway were approximately 35 minutes away. The Biltmore was 80 minutes away. Lots to see and do here!
