Happy Camper - Camp Eagles Nest- pet friendly, fire pit, walk to courts
In the heart of Eagles Nest, you'll find Camp Eagles Nest, with its collection of cozy cabins with stellar views of the mountains and leaves. Happy Camper is a charming cabin with enough space and luxuries to be pampered and close enough to the action of hiking and mountain sunrises outdoors.
The kitchen is complete with granite counters, stainless appliances, and plenty of utensils for cooking. The open living room has a sleeper sofa, gas log fireplace, smart TV and deck access. A half bath and laundry center are off of the kitchen, as well. To either side of the living room is a King bedroom with smart TV and a full, private bath. One bath has a large, tiled shower, and the other a tiled tub/shower combo.
On the back deck you'll have peaceful views of the Camp Eagles Nest amenities, including the pickleball, basketball, and slightly over the hill, tennis courts. From the front yard, stone steps lead below to a private firepit overlooking the valley. The deck has a newly installed hot tub for you to soak in after a day of hiking or skiing.
Located directly between Great Camp and the North Pavilion area of Eagles Nest, this home offers excellent location in proximity to the most popular amenities in the community. In the summer time, enjoy a nice hike right from your door step! The winding trails can either be hiked by foot or by ATV, fun for everyone! Beech Mountain is a short drive away using the back gate of Eagles Nest.

We stayed in the most lovely place with a view that was outstanding. The stars lit up the night time sky. You can see for miles during the day. I would love to own a home in this area. The entire stay was a true pleasure for us.

We loved the house and had a great time! Only problem was that we spent the entire 2 days in dense fog! Couldn't see a thing, so that was disappointing!

The cabin is absolutely gorgeous and the Eagles Nest community is completely fantastic. The furnishings are gorgeous and the views were absolutely phenomenal! We rented an ATV for our stay and our son loved every minute of it. Oh, and I forgot to mention that it snowed! That was the icing on the cake! You will not find a better cabin or a better location!

The house was beautiful and in pristine condition. The only reason I gave four instead of five stars is because the house is lacking in many items renters expect, especially those who want to cook meals in the fabulous kitchen. The house was missing a hair dryer, a working can opener, pot holders, and a spatula and came with very limited pots and pans. With the nearest restaurant being some distance away, I think it’s reasonable to expect renters to cook. Otherwise, the house was amazing. Great views, nice furniture, great layout, beautiful view, and perfect gas logs. We really enjoyed our stay.

Happy Camper at Camp Eagle's Nest is a fantastic place for two couples. The two bedrooms offer the same amenities, so there is no fighting over who gets the better room, and the cleanliness of the space is top-notch. We went during the winter, so many of the community amenities weren't usable, but there sure are a lot of them! The whole Eagle's Nest community is beautiful; every house is different from the last, and it was gorgeous seeing it all in the snow. The roads were also quickly plowed and salted, so we never felt like we wouldn't be able to get out and check out the ski resorts and towns. The hot tub was also very clean and nice, although it was uncovered, which we overlooked and struggled with a bit in the rain/snow. My one issue with the place is the distance. While Eagle's Nest as a community is very near Banner Elk and the ski resorts, this particular cabin is a good 15-20 minutes drive from the entrance, essentially killing any "quick trips" to pick up something you might have forgotten at the store (there is a cashless Dollar General on the property, if you're into that). Regardless, as long as you plan ahead, the distance to the house won't be much of an issue, and you'll certainly have a great time! Word of warning, though: don't trust Google Maps! It may attempt to route you to one of the resident entrances that you cannot use as a visitor. Make sure to get directions to the Eagle's Nest community entrance before switching to your cabin's address!

We loved our stay at the Bear Paw lodge. It’s the cabin feel with modern day luxuries. Very beautifully done. Felt like a home away from home. Absolutely loved it!
The community is great! Lots of activities and fields for sports.
Will definitely be visiting again!!

We enjoyed the property overall, however the trash was not taken out prior to our arrival and we didn’t have water for an entire day. Had to stay with our family nearby. No follow up from the property management company.
