LUXURY CABIN, SPECTACULAR VIEW, HOT TUB, FIREPIT, PRIVACY, FIREPLACE, JACUZZI


TO EAGLES NEST HIDEAWAY
Picture this: a stunning custom log home perched high atop the mountainside, offering a jaw-dropping long-range view of the Great Smoky Mountains. Now, imagine yourself basking in the serenity of a secluded hot tub, gazing at the endless stars above, or sipping your favorite beverage in a rocking chair on the sprawling deck as the morning mist dances away from the Smokies. Rise early (trust us, it’s worth it) to witness the sunrise—an ever-changing spectacle of colors that rivals any artist's palette. If relaxation is your goal, soak in the jacuzzi framed by a breathtaking 24-foot glass wall, or lounge under the stars in the six-person outdoor hot tub.

LUXURY LIVING MEETS MOUNTAIN MAJESTY
This meticulously decorated cabin spares no detail in pampering its guests. With soaring 24-foot wood-beamed ceilings, gleaming oak floors, a handcrafted log staircase, and a dramatic river rock fireplace that stretches floor to ceiling, every corner whispers, “Stay a little longer.”

A PHOTOGRAPHERS PARADISE
If a picture is worth a thousand words, Eagles Nest Hideaway could fill volumes. From the golden-hour glow on the Smoky Mountains to the starlit skies, every moment here is Insta-worthy. Weddings, engagements, maternity shoots, family portraits, or just a casual photo safari—bring your camera and let nature do the rest.

CULINARY DELIGHTS AWAIT IN A CHEF’S PARADISE
Love to cook? Our full-sized kitchen has everything but the ingredients. From sharp knives (yes, sharp!) to a crockpot, food processor, and an assortment of stemware, it’s a cook’s haven. Guests rave about the kitchen, and many opt to prepare meals here after a day of exploring. There’s even a separate laundry/mudroom with a full-sized washer and dryer for your convenience.

ENTERTAINMENT FOR EVERY MOOD
Whether you’re a pool shark, a movie buff, or a bookworm, Eagles Nest has you covered. With four TVs (including a 55” Smart TV in the living room), a satellite system, DVDs, books, board games, and free Wi-Fi, boredom doesn’t stand a chance.

OUTDOOR BLISSS AND SECLUDED SERENITY
Outside, you’ll find a hot tub, gas grill, oversized firepit with seating for eight, and a patio table perfect for al fresco dining.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the cabin, and surrounding area! The cabin was clean, open concept, cozy, and the views were outstanding! We had everything we needed, bed was comfortable, and hot tub and pool table were a nice touch. Drive up the 1st time was a bit nerve racking, but easy up and down after that. We would highly recommend to anyone looking for beautiful views, sun rises/sunsets, and peace and quiet!

We stayed here for 3 nights and it did not disappoint. The view is amazing. The cabin itself is peaceful, beatiful, specious and clean, with large kitchen and everything you need for cooking, the living room is perfect for hangouts, and the pool table was fun. We enjoyed soaking in the hot tub as well. The host is friendly and responsive. He gave us good advice on what to do nearby and check in and out was easy. It is close to NOC. The instructions on how to get to the cabin was really helpful. Grateful and blessed.

Cabin made the experience!

We were so taken with the amazing view when we arrived and enjoyed time at the cabin! The cabin was what we hoped for our family of 6 to enjoy four days in the Smoky Mountains. The cabin and grounds were very nicely taken care of. Nothing left to be desired.

Christmas Dream

Cabin was decorated for the holidays, which felt so special when we walked in. Very clean and the cabin has a welcoming feel. We were so relaxed the entire time we were there. We made great memories playing pool, doing puzzles and going downtown to eat and shop for fudge. We’ll be back to the cabin for a third visit next year.

A little piece of heaven

The moment we arrived at the cabin we were greeted by the rolling mountains, the view will simply take your breath away and you will find yourself at peace knowing this is what you get to see for the remainder of your stay. The cabin itself is something out of a fairytale with its tall windows, gorgeous log infrastructure, and beautiful towering fireplace. It is well equipped with everything you could possibly need and the hosts were there for us anytime we needed them. We loved that we could watch the mountains right from the hot tub and the fire pit. The beds were quite honestly the comfiest beds I’ve ever slept in! We had many delicious meals using the grill that was provided and just felt like this stay rejuvenated our souls in a way we were not expecting. Make sure to star gaze at night it was an experience I will never forget. I could honestly go on and on about our experience.Thank you to our hosts for making this such an unforgettable experience sharing your gorgeous piece of heaven with us, we will most definitely be back!

Long weekend

Fantastic property with a majestic view. My family spent a long weekend here and it was absolutely perfect for us. Plenty of room for 2 adults, 3 kids, and 2 Golden Retrievers. The kitchen was well appointed with any kind of cookware you could need. The fire pit, hot tub, and pool table all kept us busy when we weren't out exploring the outdoors. This property is very close to the N.O.C. (Nantahala Outdoor Center). Stuart was a pleasure to rent from. Will definitely come back. Highly recommend.

Amazing

This is the best cabin. We have been coming to Bryson City for 20+ years and have stayed at many different cabins. The cabin is everything as described. Great internet and cell service. Important for us as we work remotely. The cabin is well stocked, I bought spices for cooking and they actually had every spice you could imagine so we left ours for someone else to use. Stuart has been amazing to work with. We will definitely be booking again. Everything about the cabin gets 5 stars. Thank you for sharing this beautiful cozy cabin 😀

Beyond Expectations!

My husband and I cannot say enough about Eagles Nest Hideaway! Seriously….don’t look any further! Stuart & Melody’s home is absolutely stunning and no attention to detail was spared! The kitchen is beautiful and has EVERYTHING! The bed was sooo comfortable too. The view is second to none. I’ve stayed at several other cabins in the Smokies and this is hands down my favorite place. This was such a special getaway for us and our fur baby Arya….we are currently driving home and already planning our next trip!

You'll never want to leave.

We loved this place! You know it's a good time when you don't want to leave! The view is absolutely stunning. The kids loved the hot tub. I loved the solitude. Even just walking up and down the mountain road the cabin is on is fun! Mr Stuart is very accommodating and kind. Any question I had was answered quickly. They provide a lot more provisions than other hosts. It was the first time I didn't feel like I was missing something in the kitchen! A great place to get away from the world and relax...or work if you need to because even though you're at the top of the mountain there's still cell service and wifi. A great time at a great place that I would recommend to anyone!

Views, views, views

This has been by far the best VRBO rental my family and I have stayed at. The location has spectacular views that you won’t get tired of looking at. Sitting on the porch with a glass of wine and a good book, you’ll hear the endless birds singing and the wind blowing. The cabin is very clean and completely stocked with everything you’ll need. The road up to the cabin was scary the first time up but you get used to it, definitely follow the instructions provided. Although I’m sure a two wheel drive car will make it up we felt a lot safer with our 4x4 jeep. The drive up the mountain is definitely worth the views you get. Wish we could have stayed for longer and hope to be back in the area in the future.

Smoky Mountain Beauty

This home is nothing short of spectacular. The view was stunning and ever-changing, our bed was super comfortable, the cabin was clean and fully stocked with any item we needed, the hot tub was perfect and easy to use after our day's activities, and the location is remote enough to feel like you're getting away, but a reasonable drive to any of the area's destinations (the trip up the mountain is a unique experience...and the vista that rivaled any that we saw in GSMNP was our reward). As an added bonus, Stuart was wonderful from the moment we booked the property. We spent a couple days in Asheville before heading to Eagle's Nest where we enjoyed relaxing at the cabin, exploring the NOC at the base of the mountain, fly fishing with Fontana Guides, golfing at Smoky Mountain Country Club, and hiking a few trails in GSMNP. We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary at the cabin, and were treated with wine, chocolates, and a card upon our arrival. So thoughtful! Our anniversary day started with a glorious sunrise and ended with a beautiful full moon while the fireflies danced through the trees. It is truly a magical place! A huge thank you to Stuart and Melody for their hospitality and sharing their wonderful home!

About the host

Hosted by Stuart Tabman

Host profile image
I am originally from New Jersey and now reside in Dunedin Florida. I love fishing the rivers and streams and also enjoy hiking the trails and rafting the rivers. I have been in the health club business for 40+ years and enjoy weightlifting. I get my biggest joy out of helping people get in shape and improving their health

Why they chose this property

I started visiting the mountains of North Carolina in the early 90’s and fell in love with the area. I got hooked on rafting the local rivers and hiking the endless trails. Thus began a search for the perfect property. The goal was to find a private location with a spectacular view, and still be close enough to all the action and adventure. I found the perfect property in 2003 just 10 minutes up the mountain from The Nantahala Outdoor Center. My dream property was found and a year later built Eagles Nest Hideaway

What makes this property unique

One of my greatest joys is to read the comments about the special vacations and memories people have created at the cabin. Whether it’s a romantic vacation, a wedding, anniversary, a family vacation or friends having fun, our customers have experienced it all. The peaceful surroundings make Eagles Nest a great place to just talk and reconnect. As one customer wrote “We found the time to have long talks and to talk about nothing! It's as if the view inspired us”.

I hope you enjoy all the area has to offer and keep coming back for new adventures in the beautiful mountains.

Stuart
