The place was exactly as described. Our host was very respectful and made sure to tend to anything we needed. A little bummed we didn’t get to stay here longer!

BUGS!
I completely understand being in a cabin in the woods, you'll share some of you space with critters and cralwies, but this was extreme. There were literally THOUSANDS of lady bugs and stink bugs infesting the entire house. They could be seeing coming in from every seam of the house. The infestation left the entire second floor of the home unusable, which is unfortunately where the only bedroom and shower were located. My wife and I were
This is a one-of-a-kind cabin with fun for all ages! If you want to escape everything and relax, this is the spot for you, just bring your groceries and settle in!

The cabin itself was nice but I specifically booked one that had a hot tub and fire place. We couldnt grt the hot tub to work and even if we did the water was green-ish and slimy looking with a bad oder so we wouldn't have got in it anyway. The propane was out so we couldnt get the fire pit on the deck or the gas logs to work. The matresses for the roll out beds were very used and stained. The cabin was fine but I booked for the amenities and none of them worked so very disappointed.

Welcome to the Eagle's Nest I'm Rick and I'll try my best to make your stay as enjoyable as possible during your stay. I have 4 children and 6 grandchildren. I also raise and train English Pointers at the Eagle's Nest and they are the real host....I'm a former SC State Trooper and spent 24 years as a Cavalry Officer in the Army National Guard and I served 2 tours of duty in Iraq. I own an Insurance and Investment Company that provides benefits to school systems and educators. I love to travel and have been to 6 of the 7 continents. I love to cook and breakfast and can be arraigned with each stay if you like I can stay there and cook or you can have the cabin to yourself.. Due to Covid 19, I have installed an REME-HALO air purification system that uses UV light to kill viruses in the cabin including Covid 19
