About this property

Eagles Landing - Overlooking Fontana Lake & the Great Smoky Mtns National Park

Eagle’s Landing is a 2 Bedroom/2 Full Bathroom.
1,345 (inc. Decks) sq ft cabin for rent on 12 acres in Bryson City, NC that overlooks Fontana Lake and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This land is bordered by 600 acres of the Nantahala National Forest. Lake access and pontoon rentals are available just a few short minutes from the cabin.
Eagle’s Landing was designed and built by local artists and craftsmen with great attention to every detail. This is brand new construction with thoughtful furnishings that include one-of-a-kind artwork, decor and handmade furniture crafted by the owners. Be at peace knowing these homes are completely free of any toxic fragrances or chemical cleaners, and Medical Medium Friendly! There are no air fresheners, plug ins, scented candles, incense, commercial laundry soaps or fabric softeners. We wash all of the linens, shower curtains, bath mats etc. in house to insure they are cleaned without any toxic commercial soaps, stain removers, or bleach. We use non toxic cleaning supplies like Unscented Seventh Generation, BonAmi, BioKleen, peroxide, vinegar, and baking soda. This entire 12 acre property has NEVER been sprayed with pesticide. We are aware of how these toxic commercial fragrances have a burning effect on the nerves, can perpetuate a weakened immune system, deplete the nervous system, and cause several other chronic health symptoms. Rejoice in knowing that inside our homes and outside in the surrounding hundreds of acres of National Forest, clean air and oxygen are absorbed with every breath.
Voted one of the "Top Ten Outdoor Towns in the East" by Outdoor Magazine, one of the Smithsonian's "20 Best Small Towns to Visit in 2016", one of eight Small Towns Near Stunning Nature by Orbitz, and Trip Advisor ranked Bryson City as the #1 Beautiful Little Mountain Town in America!
Discover what’s great about Bryson City, a peaceful mountain town bordering the Great Smoky Mountains National Park with unique shops, galleries, lodging and restaurants. Surrounding our small town, there’s a rich vacation paradise — rafting and kayaking on the Nantahala River, boating and fishing on Fontana Lake, scenic railroad excursions, world class trout streams and mountain biking on the famous Tsali trails. We have creeks for tubing, trails for hiking, horseback riding, and beautiful waterfalls. We’re home to the Cherokee Indian Reservation and the North Carolina half of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. ..and we’re close — just an hour west of Asheville NC and three hours north of Atlanta GA.

Absolutely perfect

This property was so beautiful and everything was perfect, the place was spotless they even provided a lot of little goodies to get you started…. We watched eagles build a nest durning the day and bats flying around at night. I can’t rave about this place enough. The view is spectacular.. 10 out of 10 for this property!

Amazing views!

This little spot has the most amazing views! If you're looking for a retreat this may be for you. It has everything you need for a staycay. Kitchen had almost everything you would need for cooking. I would suggest adding a toaster, we missed having the use of one. The cabin was clean and cared for which I truly appreciated but the bathroom flooring could use updating. It was cold during our stay and we got to see snow falling over the mountains. Beautiful! This little spot is definitely worth a stay but be aware the roads are VERY curvy and drive to the cabin is a little steep. This is perfect for the nature lover and/or adventurer, if that's you don't hesitate to book!

Unforgettable Experience

I booked this cabin months in advance because a good friend highly recommended it to me. From the very first moment I made the reservation, the service was excellent. The host always responded to my messages quickly and efficiently, providing clear and straightforward information. The instructions were detailed and included everything I needed to know. Although they have a website with all the necessary details, the host was always happy to answer any additional questions I had, and I truly appreciated their kindness.I went there to celebrate my engagement with my fiancée, and we were absolutely delighted. We can’t wait to return many more times! The cabin is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, and the location and view are simply breathtaking—it’s hard to put into words how beautiful it truly is. This is a place I wholeheartedly recommend!

A little slice of heaven!

We stayed here 3 nights and the stay was phenomenal. It was my husband and I, my 9 year old son and 5 year old daughter. Everyone thought the cabin was perfect. It was the perfect size for our family, very clean, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and was stocked with all the necessary kitchen items we needed. I loved the local coffee and soaps that were provided. We went and bought more of the coffee during our stay because it was so good. Now, the view was stunning—absolutely breathtaking. No picture gives it justice. It’s in such a peaceful location and we loved soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. It’s a slice of heaven. At one point, the batteries for the fireplace remote went out and I messaged the owner. She answered immediately and it was fixed by the time we came back from town a couple of hours later. I’ve never had better communication with an owner—they were wonderful, as is this little cabin!!

The most gorgeous view we’ve seen in NC

We have no complaints about our stay. My husband and I went for a quick anniversary getaway trip to unwind and relax and that was highly achieved in this home. It was so peaceful and quiet at night and during the day, the view leaves you speechless. All you want to do is stare at it and never leave. The rooms were spacious and clean. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen had all the supplies we needed to make breakfast and dinner. Communication with the hosts was amazing and they were always quick to respond. Thank you Michelle & Shannon for letting us enjoy your beautiful home. We definitely plan on returning again soon.

Best View in Bryson City

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Eagles Landing. Our family of four drove down from Minnesota to visit the Smokies and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the space. The view was certainly the main attraction, but the living space was great as well. Very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend!

Breathtaking and serene

The pictures on the VRBO listing are accurate but do not do justice to the view of the Tuckaseegee below and Smoky Mountains horizon. This retreat was exactly what we needed. The 2 bedroom cabin sits right on the edge of the mountain with completely unobscured views from family room, 1 bedroom, and the nice large covered porch. The property was spotlessly clean with comfortable beds and well stocked kitchen needs. We highly recommend this beautiful vacation rental.

Heaven on Earth

My family of four have been coming to WNC almost yearly for 15 years. We have stayed in a variety of cabin rentals. Some obscenely luxurious and others on a budget. Eagles Landing is hands down the most majestic stay we have ever had out to this region. I never wanted to leave. We live in a busy suburb. This was the most quiet place we have ever stayed. You will only hear the sounds of nature and the occasional boat down on the lake which will inspire you to rent your own just a short drive up the road (Alarka Marina was fantastic). This is a rare time where the promo materials 100 percent match with what you are receiving. The home is fresh, new and clean. The kitchen easy to prepare meals in. The beds comfortable. The deck a beautiful way to start and end the day. If you are lucky you will wake up in the clouds. The natural landscaping makes this cabin feel private despite their other large cabin being right next door. We really cannot wait to plan our next trip to this house. We feel lucky to have been able to stay here.

Amazing Getaway

We are weary grandparents needing a getaway from raising a teenage grandson. This was the perfect place for us! We could relax on the deck and watch the sunrise and/or sunset (usually both) over the Smoky Mountains and still plan day trips to ride the Great Smoky Mountain train out of Bryson City or take a day and drive to Clingman's Dome and Newfound Gap (even on into Gatlinburg ). But our favorite was just sitting on the deck and taking in the scenery of the Smokies and Fontana Lake. The cabin was well supplied with cookware, so we fixed nearly all of our meals there and always ate on the deck. Talk about the perfect setting for a meal...wow! The hosts did a great job providing information prior to our trip and had a booklet of information waiting on the counter upon our arrival. Couldn't have asked for a better getaway! Be prepared for a lot of curvy roads to get to the cabin, though. Coming from a flat cornfield area in Indiana, it took a bit of adjustment to driving the mountainous roads of TN & NC, but by day 2, we had a pretty good grip on how to drive on this terrain.

Seriously, turn off your phone and enjoy the view all day and night. This is a magnificent hidden gem with everything needed to be your weekend home away from a busy life. The view is everything and the pictures are just a fraction of the beauty. The stary sky away from civilization is quite beautiful too. There's internet too, but you really won't need it.

Perfect Getaway

Our stay was absolutely perfect, from the directions up to home to the attention to detail once we were inside. We were a group of five and I so appreciate when there are enough seats for everyone to be comfortable. The home felt really spacious and well laid out, and the view from the deck was worth wrapping up with a blanket and a book to enjoy! There was local coffee stocked in the kitchen as well as menus for local restaurants. The starter supplies were generous, and you can tell the owner wants every guest to feel welcome and relaxed for their stay. Thank you for a fantastic stay!

About the host

Hosted by Michelle and Shannon

Host profile image
My husband and I purchased 12 acres of land in 2013 surrounded by the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the Nantahala National Forest. Little did we know (for the thick pine saplings) that we had a Million Dollar View of a Horseshoe Bend on Fontana Lake and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park! It took viewing Google Maps to see what a gem we had found. We moved to Bryson City after selling our home and printing business in Fletcher NC (close to Asheville). My husband grew up in Bryson City, and I fell in love with this "Gateway to the Smokies" town when we built a house boat at Almond Boat Park in 2013, that now floats on Fontana Lake. We started building Eagle's Landing in Nov 2014 with the help of some great friends and a very talented builder.
This is a completely different lifestyle than we're used to, and we are incredibly Grateful for all the Love, Support, and Divine Miracles that We have been Blessed with along the way. Now we're ready to share Eagle's Landing with the world!

Why they chose this property

There's a Peace here that we've never felt before. This place is awe - inspiring. It almost forces you to stop in your tracks every time you look outside. We built Eagle's Landing to give our guests the feeling they were floating on water...and sometimes in clouds. From the Living Room and Master Bedroom there are French Doors that open out onto a 445 sq ft (partially covered) deck that extends out over Fontana Lake. From the theatrical morning sunrise to the day's last light, where the night sky displays the Milky Way, the show this magical place performs is ever changing and always jaw dropping.

What makes this property unique

Eagle’s Landing was designed and built by local artists and craftsmen with great attention to every detail. This cabin is not wheelchair accessible, however it is one level and designed to accommodate most anyone.
We call this cabin Eagle's Landing because Bald Eagles land in the pines just 10 feet away from the cabin deck. They're curious and feel very comfortable 'landing' so close to this cabin.This year (2025) we witnessed the eagles building a nest on the Hickory Flats Peninsula. This is the closest part of the park projecting out into the lake. Now you can see them year round coming and going from this peninsula! It is an unforgettable experience.
