Secluded, dog-friendly mountain-view cabin with hot tub & two fireplaces

Sun Eagle Lodge

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

You'll fall in love with the majestic mountain views and untouched natural beauty surrounding this gorgeous property. This classic mountain home is tucked into a secluded hillside outside Bryson City, making it the perfect combination of comfort and convenience. This retreat has been a favorite Bryson City rental cabin for a while. Start the day outside on the upper deck gazing out towards the Smoky Mountains. There is nothing better than peering out over the powder-white sea of clouds, basking in the sunshine, and kicking back in one of the Adirondack chairs with a cup of coffee.

Newly upgraded, the Sun Eagle Lodge is a lavish accommodation with the majesty of the mountains and new furniture with the comforts you desire. The well-equipped, modern kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and all the necessary gadgets to make meal prep a breeze. Gather the group at the dining table or sit at the breakfast bar. Pause a moment to admire the view from inside, almost as spectacular as the one from the deck, thanks to the soaring wall of windows in the main living space. The downstairs bedroom has a king bed, a gas fireplace, a satellite TV, access to the deck and hot tub, and a luxurious en suite bathroom with a double vanity. The second bedroom has a king bed and an en suite bathroom with a shower/tub combination. The third bedroom in the open-concept loft has a queen bed, a satellite TV, and a bath conveniently across the hall.

Outdoor enthusiasts will be in paradise! Grab a set of binoculars and catch the hundreds of species of birds or take a walk along the tree-lined winding roads on Baines Mountain. After a day out exploring all the natural wonders that surround you, turn on the gas fireplace and get cozy on the sectional in front of the TV, or head back outside to enjoy that view once more. Grill some dinner on the top deck and dine alfresco, then cool off on the tree-shaded lower deck. Relax and take in the view from one of the rocking chairs, or gather and chat around the fire pit. At the end of the night, slip into the hot tub and admire the moonlit sky above.

Private, quiet location close to Bryson City.

We stayed here with some family and friends and we found it very clean, peaceful and private. We really enjoyed the Mountain Views from the porch. We visited Bryson City and the Nantahala Outdoor Center during our stay and it was convenient to both locations.

Great views, clean, easy access. It made you feel secluded and away from everything, yet is close enough to head out for a bite to eat or a quick trip to the DG.

Perfect little getaway cabin!

Highly recommend this cabin. Booking/checkin was quick & easy. The cabin was clean & comfortable. Had everything we needed for our stay. Private but still close to stores/tourist spots. Beautiful uninterrupted views from every deck. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful location.

Plenty of room for 6 (we had 4). My wife and kids loved it. It's a perfect get away spot. We had been staying at another cabin when we visited Bryson City, but it didn't hold a candle to the view, and sheer beauty of this place. We would most definitely book again if available.

Beautiful home with beautiful views

Our stay was peaceful, relaxing, and beautiful. We came from Chicago so I was worried about the drive up the mountain (we've had scary experiences before) but it was relatively easy. The way is paved almost all the way up and the home is easy to find. I especially enjoyed the sunrise view from the bed on the first floor. We would definitely come back and recommend to friends.
