Our stay at Happy Camper was incredible. I have visited Eaglesnest many many times and have stayed at several VRBO houses. This house was exactly what we expected and was impeccably clean. Even the outdoor light fixtures were spotless. I would highly recommend this property as it was perfectly located for our needs...walk to Pickleball, short drive to both the winery and the amphitheater!

Beautiful home!

We loved the house and had a great time! Only problem was that we spent the entire 2 days in dense fog! Couldn't see a thing, so that was disappointing!

Beautiful home

The house was beautiful and in pristine condition. The only reason I gave four instead of five stars is because the house is lacking in many items renters expect, especially those who want to cook meals in the fabulous kitchen. The house was missing a hair dryer, a working can opener, pot holders, and a spatula and came with very limited pots and pans. With the nearest restaurant being some distance away, I think it’s reasonable to expect renters to cook. Otherwise, the house was amazing. Great views, nice furniture, great layout, beautiful view, and perfect gas logs. We really enjoyed our stay.

A World Away!

Happy Camper at Camp Eagle's Nest is a fantastic place for two couples. The two bedrooms offer the same amenities, so there is no fighting over who gets the better room, and the cleanliness of the space is top-notch. We went during the winter, so many of the community amenities weren't usable, but there sure are a lot of them! The whole Eagle's Nest community is beautiful; every house is different from the last, and it was gorgeous seeing it all in the snow. The roads were also quickly plowed and salted, so we never felt like we wouldn't be able to get out and check out the ski resorts and towns. The hot tub was also very clean and nice, although it was uncovered, which we overlooked and struggled with a bit in the rain/snow. My one issue with the place is the distance. While Eagle's Nest as a community is very near Banner Elk and the ski resorts, this particular cabin is a good 15-20 minutes drive from the entrance, essentially killing any "quick trips" to pick up something you might have forgotten at the store (there is a cashless Dollar General on the property, if you're into that). Regardless, as long as you plan ahead, the distance to the house won't be much of an issue, and you'll certainly have a great time! Word of warning, though: don't trust Google Maps! It may attempt to route you to one of the resident entrances that you cannot use as a visitor. Make sure to get directions to the Eagle's Nest community entrance before switching to your cabin's address!

Beautiful Cabin

We loved our stay at the Bear Paw lodge. It’s the cabin feel with modern day luxuries. Very beautifully done. Felt like a home away from home. Absolutely loved it! The community is great! Lots of activities and fields for sports. Will definitely be visiting again!!

Great property, no water

We enjoyed the property overall, however the trash was not taken out prior to our arrival and we didn’t have water for an entire day. Had to stay with our family nearby. No follow up from the property management company.

Awesome Weekend Getaway

The cabin is absolutely gorgeous and the Eagles Nest community is completely fantastic. The furnishings are gorgeous and the views were absolutely phenomenal! We rented an ATV for our stay and our son loved every minute of it. Oh, and I forgot to mention that it snowed! That was the icing on the cake! You will not find a better cabin or a better location!

Just absolutely excellent

We stayed in the most lovely place with a view that was outstanding. The stars lit up the night time sky. You can see for miles during the day. I would love to own a home in this area. The entire stay was a true pleasure for us.
