The Guardian Bear Lodge - pet friendly in Eagles Nest, view, game room

Come and relax with The Guardian Bear! This luxury three bedroom, three bath home is nestled in the trees within walking distance to the Camp Eagles Nest amenity area of Eagles Nest.

The main level features an open great room with well-appointed kitchen with stainless steel appliances, custom cabinets, gorgeous granite counters with stone backsplash, and is open to the dining and living area. The dining table seats up to 10 comfortably and there's room for 4 on stools at the eat-in kitchen counter. In the living room, the sofa is situated near the gas fireplace with a large-screen smart TV mounted above, and there's a small desk area as well. There's a huge wall of windows overlooking the forest, and there is deck access to the views and outdoors.

One of the king suites is on the main level, a log frame bed and lots of windows to let the nature and beauty come inside. The full bath features a tiled shower and granite vanity.

Upstairs is a second King suite, with a full private bath with quartz vanity and tiled shower. There's also a loft area with a suspended wicker chair and a card table, perfect for those who need to crack open the laptop to answer a few work emails. There's lots of board games here so make some family memories with a fun game!

On the lower level is another family room with pool table, sofa, chair, a fun selection of books, toys and activities for kids, and another large TV.

Also on this level is the laundry area, a bedroom with three sets of built-in bunk beds: one twin-over-Queen, and two sets of twin-over-twin. This room has a bathroom with double granite vanities and a tub/shower.

From the downstairs den, step outside to the lower patio and enjoy a relaxing soak in the hot tub or lounge in the rockers! The main level deck offers a window view through the trees, along with a teak patio seating area, table & chairs set, and gas grill.

The best!
Kid and pet friendly, well stocked, every detail thought of, modern and clean while retaining the mountain cabin vibes we love! The bunk room was awesome for kids/ teens to have their own space. Pretty view from the deck. There is some construction in the area but the noise was not disruptive. Would definitely stay again.

Best Yet
The house is beautiful, so well-equipped and perfect for families. The outdoor seating and fire pit were our favorite spot and there is even a small grill at the fire pit. Having two areas to relax on two floors made a nice separation for the adults and kids when needed. Eagles Nest had fun offerings that meant we didn’t have to leave the mountain every day. We have rented in the area for a decade and this was the best home by far.

A wonderful Fall family trip to Banner Elk
My family and I recently stayed at The Guardian Bear Lodge in the Eagles Nest development near Banner Elk, NC, and what I can say is the property greatly exceeded our expectations. Not only was the house fantastic, but the Eagles Nest development, where the house was located, was awesome - just a beautiful location with stunning Fall mountain views, with a ton of activities available to the family. We will definitely be going back, and I cannot recommend this house or the Eagles Nest development more highly. A 5 Star experience in every facet, to include the property management and rental service.
