“There is no place finer”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2011

You can search for days, like I did, looking at hotels, cabins, bed and breakfasts, and other places to stay in the Dillsboro/Sylva/Franklin/Waynesville/Cherokee/Bryson city area but you won't find a place that can compare to the Eagles nest.

I'm not sure how to even rate this room compared to the other places. The price is excellent. The views are amazing. And the owners couldn't be better hosts.

For a low price I got a suite with full kitchen, a deck with an breathtaking view, and the use of a hot tub under a sky dotted with stars. There is nothing more I could ask for.

The only "bad" part is finding your way up the mountain at night the first time. I would not recommend trying this for the first time on a motorcycle, but subsequent could in the day light would be doable. Still tricky though.

Room Tip: I was shocked to see that I enjoyed the view from the lower room more than the view from the upper r...

“A touch of class”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2010

We came to Eagles Nest straight from a visit to the madness and mayhem of Pigeon Forge and found a true gem of a place to stay. The Eagles Lair is perfect for a family with two bedrooms (each with a modern en suite) and it has everything you'll need in the kitchen as well as outside with gas-fired BBQ, tables & chairs etc. But that isn't the best part about Eagles Nest. Sitting on the private rear deck at sunset, looking out over the Great Smoky Mountains towards Georgia, the air was fresh and I was totally relaxed. It was like finding the far side of paradise. The hummingbirds came and went to the bird feeder as I sipped my cool drink! Pat and Ron were superb hosts. Loved it!

“Another great stay -- our third one!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 July 2010

Unfortunately, we'll be leaving Capodimonte in the morning. This is our third stay here and we all enjoy it. My wife and our 14-year-old daughter all enjoy the comfort and tranquility of Pat and Ron's place. We always rent Eagle's Lair, which has two bedrooms. The views are quite incredible. This is one place that meets all your expectations. Since the first time we came up here, we have said we want to come up in October to see the leaves change. We're really going to do that soon. I would also like to come up here in the cooler months just to experience it. Being from Florida, we always look forward to the cooler weather at Capodimonte, even if it is still plenty warm in July. We love the place!

“Wonderful Stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2007

people found this review helpful

We just returned from a two night stay in 'Eagles Nest' chalet. Pat was so nice and helpful explaining everything when we arrived. The views are spectacular. The chalet was immaculate and nicely furnished. Everything you need is provided with the kitchen being fully furnished. The grounds were beautiful with all the plants, flowers and fountains. The hot tub was wonderful with wonderful views. Pat said we wouldn't want to leave and he was right, we wished we had of booked more nights! Very close to Dillsboro, Bryson City and Cherokee. Easy to find right off the main road. I especially liked that there were no added fees like so many other places have in their rental agreements. We will be back and I highly recommend the accommodations!

  • Liked — The views, accommodations, furnishings and cleanliness.
  • Disliked — Nothing! Everything was fantastic.

“wonderful stay at eagle's nest”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 June 2007

people found this review helpful

I just spent a week at this excellent vacation rental with my sister and her family, 9 folks total, 5 adults, 4 kids.

My sister had rented the 2 bedroom cabin, we took the downstairs studio, which is connected to the cabin via a very nice deck. There is also an upstairs studio that we would rent if we had a larger group.

We put all 4 kids in the living area of the cabin, the cabin is very roomy and the better choice for a party of 4+

The views from the deck areas were spectacular. The accomodations, decor etc are excellent and the place is a steal for the price.

The property is 5 minutes off of HWY 74 W just north of dillsboro, 15 minutes from Cherokee and Bryson City, 30 minutes from the Nantahala Outdoor Center.

Highly recommended
