MOUNTAIN MAGIC --
This was the third year that we have rented the Eagle's Nest. My wife first
found this property while searching for secluded cabin rentals in the Pigeon
Forge area where we could celebrate our anniversary. The Eagle's Nest was
perfect! We had everything we needed and/or wanted, including near-total
seclusion. The views from this cabin are truly breathtaking, and the serenity
is just what the doctor ordered when you need to get away from the hustle
and bustle of daily life.
We do all of our own cooking, so we bring everything we need for each
trip. And, that has proven to be a good plan as the weather is somewhat
unpredictable in the early spring. We had rain, sleet, snow & ice
the past two years! So, the road can get very slippery.
We have never had any major problems during our stays. But, when issues
did arise, the staff were exceptionally courteous, helpful, and resolved
the issues quickly.
Another big reason that we initially chose the Eagle's Nest was because
it is "pet friendly". We have a small Pug, and do not want
to have to kennel her. Pets are welcome here with small pet fee , and
that makes this cabin even more attractive.
The cabin has a heat pump, electric fireplaces, satellite TV (for those
who need to stay current on their favorite TV programs), a very nice
kitchen (including a dishwasher, pots, pans, plates, and silverware),
a propane barbeque grill and lots of sleeping space. It also has a wonderful
hot tub on the back porch which helps you to unwind while enjoying terrific
scenery or fantastic night skies. One note: if you're going to be preparing
your own meals, be sure to bring your favorite brand of dishwashing detergent.
The cabin does come with a small supply for the dishwasher, but not enough
for an extended stay.
Bottom Line: the Eagle's Nest is a wonderful cabin. However, if you
do not like seclusion, or want to be close to town, this may not be your
best selection. But, if you want to get away, this is the perfect cabin
for you!!
