About this property

River Sound Cabin at The River Club at The Lodges at Eagles Nest

The River Sound Cabin, located in The Lodges at Eagles Nest's exclusive River Club, is an authentic riverfront cabin with direct access to picturesque Elk River and just a five minute drive to downtown Banner Elk. The cabin features rustic mountain materials throughout, including Appalachian poplar bark siding, Mountain Laurel railings and stacked stone. These indigenous elements are perfectly balanced with elegant furnishings and top of the line electronics and appliances to provide the ideal Blue Ridge Mountain experience with all the comforts of a luxury home. The property offers tremendous outdoor living, with unique multi-layered decking overlooking the gentle river and its lovely music. A stay at The River Sound Cabin includes exclusive access to the highly coveted Elk River for trout fishing!

The Lodges at Eagles Nest is a world-class 3,000+ acre master-planned development with altitudes over 5,200 feet framed by spectacular 360-degree mountain views as far as the eye can see. The natural features of the property include acres upon acres of undeveloped green space and pastures, rushing streams, waterfalls, massive boulder formations, abundant wildlife and much more.

Perfect spot

The cabin is absolutely adorable, with every amenity needed available. Although close to others, you never feel that way. The grounds are expertly maintained to provide privacy and the closeness of nature. The views of the creek are spectacular. Could not recommend this place more, it was everything we had hoped for.

Amazing Cabin and Excellent Owner

The River Sound cabin was a perfect place for our small family! Conveniently located near the Elk River and close to a beautiful hike with a waterfall on the Lodges at Eagles Nest property. Everything you could need is supplied in the cabin and the owner was super helpful and came out within minutes when we needed him. Joanie was very attentive with texting us before we checked in and at departure to make sure everything went well. We love River Sound and the surrounding area. We'll be back for sure!!!

Lovely spot by the stream

This is a cozy spot for a couple or small family. The surrounding area was beautiful. There is a lot of privacy even though it is close to the road and some similar cabins. They way the property is situated you can't see any other cabins nor the road so you feel like you are out in the wilderness. The cabin and wilderness themed decor makes for a great experience. Bed is comfortable, finishing touches are high end with beautiful wood, slate and other stone finishes. Very nicely done. Easy trip in to Banner Elk and you have access to everything Eagle's Nest has to offer. Take advantage of driving through Eagles Nest for amazing views and fun mini-golf.

Lovely home and deck a short walk away from fishing

My wife and I had a great stay here. The house is actually across the street from the larger, gated community, tucked in with about 3 other homes in a separate, gated area. The decks are a wonderful place to relax and house is quite elegant. As some have mentioned the only downside is being right next to the road as you can hear traffic (mostly the bigger trucks) as they drive by. However, the 2 min walk to beautiful fishing water more than made up for this for us.

A great getaway

My wife, 8 yo son and I had a wonderful stay at the cabin. It was exactly as described and provided a nice base to explore Eagle's Nest and the surrounding areas. The cabin was well appointed and comfortable. The lack of window coverings was a bit strange and guaranteed no late mornings as you were up with the sun. You would also see lights from from the passing cars on the road at night. Also, during the winter the owners cover the outside tv and remove the cushions from the patio furniture. Eagle's Nest is awesome with lots to do. The location is also good for access to the 2 ski mountains nearby and lots of hiking trails and fishing spots. All in all is what a great week for us at the cabin

A cozy indoor place with an outdoor place to explore.

For its size, a very well built and thought out space. You will be “cozy” with the ones you love; with the opportunity to create some outside space and explore when ready! I read it was close to the road and it is close.

Just Right

Husband, wife, and 9 yr old daughter on trip. There were larger properties to choose from, for sure, but we didn’t need anything bigger. The size of property was perfect. Loved the open floor plan. We realized after checking in how much this felt like a cabin. Others look like cabins on the outside but more like houses on the inside. We never noticed the traffic on the road. The pictures don’t do the interior justice. The main bed is solid wood with wood carvings of trees on posts. Two beautiful orange lamps on each side of bed were awesome. The fireplace is nicely done, with stone, not too gaudy. Wooden ceiling, wooden stairs, wooden front door, wooden flooring etc....

Already want to go back!

I can't say enough about this cabin. It was perfect for our stay and my only regret is not booking more days. We spent an entire day on the property just exploring all the beautiful surroundings and another day nearby on the Blue Ridge Parkway. We visited nearby Grandfather Mountain and then went to Blowing Rock and Boone for the afternoon. We loved returning to the cabin and cooking meals in the kitchen. The cabin is breathtaking and very clean and the porch is amazing with the view of the creek. It was so relaxing. We could hear some road noise at times but we didnt mind it. Will definitely return!

Awesome Anniversary Getaway

We had a fabulous time at The River Sound Cabin celebrating our 20th Anniversary! Cabin and multiple decks were exactly as the pictured. We walked into a clean and modern cabin that was perfect for the two of us celebrating a special occasion. We enjoyed the lower deck in the late afternoons listening to the water from the Elk River with a glass of wine. Only recommendations we have are: to have steak knives and a steamer pot for vegetables. We cooked/grilled every night but one. I’m a lucky lady in that my husband loves to cook and is a great chef! We had grilled trout, a grilled ribeye, and grilled lamb chops 3 of the 4 nights there. No steak knifes for the steak and lamb chops though. For the vegetables, we were able to improvise for the steamer pot to steam asparagus. We enjoyed the Banner Elk community and Blowing Rock (drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway is breathtaking). We will be back!!

A Great Retreat

We were very impressed with the quality of this property from the amenities, cleanliness, and the excellent communication with the property manager Joanie. The only downside is it’s proximity to the road. There was little more road noise than I prefer which could be a deal breaker for some. Despite that it’s definitely a 5 star property and worth renting.
