Eagle's Nest

Eagle's Nest sits at the top of a dead-end road above Gatlinburg, which means the only traffic outside is whatever's moving through the national park below. The sweeping views take in Great Smoky Mountains National Park from a height that makes the name feel earned, and the bears that move through the property regularly make the experience feel genuinely wild. Two king bedrooms each with a private bath, a jetted tub in the primary suite, a fireplace, a 50-game arcade console, a hot tub on the deck, three seasonal community pools, and dogs welcome up to 25 lbs. Eagle's Nest is the kind of cabin that earns its reputation one stay at a time.

The Views & Setting

Perched high above Gatlinburg on a dead-end road with no through traffic, Eagle's Nest offers something increasingly hard to find in the Smokies — genuine quiet and genuine elevation. The national park views stretch wide from the deck and through the cabin's windows, changing character through the day and going spectacular at dusk. Bears have been spotted regularly at this property, often close enough to observe from the deck, which consistently becomes the most-told story from the stay. Guests describe the peace and quiet here as the thing they didn't know they needed until they had it.

The Primary Suite & Fireplace

The king primary suite has an in-room jetted tub and its own private bath — a genuinely comfortable setup for a couple who wants the elevation and the quiet. The fireplace runs from October through February and earns its spot in this cabin particularly well — a wood-burning fire at this altitude, with those views through the windows, is exactly what a mountain cabin is supposed to feel like.

The Living Area & Kitchen

The main living area is comfortable and open, with Smart TVs and a Keurig making slow mornings easy. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking in, with everything needed for group meals or a quick breakfast before a day at the national park. The covered deck with its outdoor dining table is the natural extension of the living space when the weather cooperates.

The Second Bedroom & Rec Room

The second king bedroom has mountain-view windows and its own private bath — a complete, self-contained space for the second couple or family members. A rec room with a 50-game arcade console keeps the group entertained on slower afternoons and evenings, and three seasonal community pools give the group water options when the hot tub isn't enough.

The Deck, Hot Tub & Dog Policy

The covered deck has a hot tub and outdoor dining table positioned for those sweeping park views — the right place to end every evening. A gas grill handles outdoor cooking, and with dogs welcome up to 25 lbs, the whole family can make the trip to a cabin that genuinely feels like it belongs to the mountains.

Location

Eagle's Nest sits in Gatlinburg near Ober Mountain, Rocky Top Sports World, and the entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Three parking spaces and keyless 24-hour check-in, with WiFi and a washer and dryer included.

A dead-end road, national park views, bears in the yard, and a wood-burning fireplace — Eagle's Nest earns its name from every angle.
