About this property

Modern Cottage on the Susquehanna River

Located directly on the Susquehanna River in The Endless Mountains, “The Eagles Nest" has all the modern amenities you need, while still making you feel cozy and at home in this charming cottage. Enjoy dinner on the 3 season porch or relax on the large deck and watch the Eagles and wildlife from the perfect vantage point. Families and friends can kayak, fish or simply lounge and read a book. Bring your boat and launch directly from the property (we highly recommend a 4WD truck to launch your boat). In the evenings you can have a campfire (wood is supplied for you) or light the propane fireplace on the deck. And if you want to leave the house, you can take a 15 minute drive to Tunkhannock to visit the wineries or antique stores. The vacation possibilities are endless!

The property perfectly accommodated 2 adults, 4 teens snd 2 dogs. There was plenty of parking. We enjoyed kayaking, fishing, and spending time by the fire. The kitchen is very well stocked. Pictures don’t do this location justice.

We loved our stay at the Eagles Nest. The property was even better in-person than in photos, and the layout was perfect for our two families. The kids loved the loft. The deck was the perfect place to relax and eat meals. Owner very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend!

Wonderful family getaway

Our time on the river was absolutely perfect. The kids had a blast fishing, kayaking, and spending evenings around the fire pit, creating memories that will last a lifetime. The house itself was ideal—so well-equipped and comfortable, it truly felt like a home away from home. We couldn’t have asked for anything more, and we’re already looking forward to returning!

Birthday Bash weekend

The Eagles Nest was fabulous!!! We loved everything about our stay. We had a 70th birthday get together for my husband. The cabin was well stocked and very clean. It was easy to check in and Sarah answered all our questions. We will definitely be back!!! Loved seeing all the eagles.

Had a great stay at the Eagles Nest. I can’t say enough as the homeowner went above and beyond for us. The house is welcoming and has anything you could need. Our family truly enjoyed ourselves with fishing, kayaking, a bonfire and some good old relaxing. Thank you!!!

Love this area!

I’ve been here before, and will go back. The communication is incredible, they checked in to see we were settled in and also when stay was over. The instructions were clear and all the little details they have put in to this property makes a difference. I’ve been going to the Susquehanna for years, and this property is a great one! To be able to put my boat in at the house I am renting is so convenient. Will definitely be back!!!!!

Loved The Eagles Nest

We loved our time at The Eagles Nest. The house was clean and well equipped. We enjoyed swimming and kayaking in the river. We really appreciated the gates on the deck, they made it safe for our toddler and dogs to be outside with us. The property manager was communicative and friendly. There were storms coming and she texted us to let us know the house was equipped with a generator and we didn’t have to worry about losing power. Overall, we were impressed with the house and would visit again!

Pleasant Experience

The Eagle’s Nest property is beautiful and very peaceful. The home itself is clean and well equipped. My family and I enjoyed the river and the view from the house was spectacular. We were able to fish and kayak in the river throughout the day. We did not catch any fish but the overall experience was great! You do not have to do much traveling or driving since everything is available right on the property. Sara , the property manager made our stay easy- she’s great at communicating and even told me about the firework change in date. It was quite an experience and we would rent this property again. Also, I would definitely recommend this rental property to friends and family. Thank you Holly, Tim and Sara for making my stay so nice and enjoyable.

Wonderful weekend getaway

This house was beautiful, clean, open, and exactly what is pictured. There are lots of amenities and we had plenty to do while staying there. At night the backyard can get pretty buggy but with games and a TV we were all set. Holly was responsive, kind and gracious. I would recommend this house to anyone that asked.

River Gem

The Eagle’s Nest property is a hidden gem situated on the Susquehanna River. The home is immaculate and designed so well. The huge deck, the privacy and the view were major benefits for us. We loved every minute of our stay. Holly was a pleasure to deal with throughout our booking process and our short visit. Hope to revisit soon.

Amazing Easter Vacation

This place is definitely a 5-star!!! We utilized this retreat as an Easter getaway with friends and family, plus our dogs! It's beautiful, well maintained and has everything you can think of! The river out front, the beautiful scenery, the swings, the deck, the fully stocked kitchen (with my favorite little cheese cutters), all the ammentities, the kayaks- everything! Fantastic getaway!!!

Lovely, quiet escape for friends!

This cottage is a beautiful place to escape with friends. We enjoyed quiet, excellent outdoor spaces and beautiful river views. We especially enjoyed the sunroom and back deck. The vintage design elements were lovely, too. A couple of things were not great: the water has a bad smell and there are a lot of steps. Regardless, we will definitely add this to our list of places to visit again.

Perfect and serene!

We travel each season to a different destination and always use VRBO, I can honestly say this is one of the best rentals we ever had the honor to visit, owners thought of everything to make our stay comfortable, serene, beautiful and we saw 5 eagles the first day there. We love to hike and enjoy nature and there are so many beautiful trails and parks to visit! I have a feeling we’ll be back again, and our pups loved it! Thank you!
