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!

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.

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.

Eagles Nest Fall Foliage

Beautiful location and lovely home! It really felt like a home away from home. They provide every amenity you can even imagine. We all enjoyed ourselves so much. We can't wait to return. We will definitely be booking a full week or more next time. This place is a treasure!

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!

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!

Eagle's Nest - Amazing Rest

This property is truly a 5 star rental. I have rented many homes and the property manager was amazing to work with from start to finish. Daily viewing of the eagles and wildlife right off the deck. The dogs loves swimming in the river each day. Home offers plenty of room for larger groups as well. This property is truly better in person than what you see in pictures. Thank you again Sara for a wonderful trip!

Eagle's Nest

We all had a great time at the river house. The home is so well equipped and spotlessly clean! Everything was so comfortable. The weather was so warm and sunny and we enjoyed swimming fishing and kayaking. The deck was amazing with the beautiful mountain face view. We would love to come back again! Thank you!

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!
