Description
Located in Banner Elk at The Lodges at Eagle’s Nest, this majestic home is one of our best luxury rentals. From the time that you first view the timber framed portico to the time you walk out onto the back deck with its awesome 180 degree layered view of the Blue Ridge Mountains, you will be inspired by the beauty of this area and this home. Upon entering the great room with its 30 ft tall ceilings, and its superbly crafted woodwork and stone you have the feeling of your own exclusive English hunting lodge.

The two King Suites on the main floor would be hard to choose from as they both walk out onto the covered porch for morning coffee or evening fire. Both spacious master bathrooms have walk-in tiled showers with all the extras. The linens are the best, and one bedroom has its own fireplace as well as a twin bed and trundle bed.

For those who like to cook, you will have a difficult time getting past the kitchen with the granite countertops, hammered copper sinks, confection oven, wine coolers and every convenience. There's a third bedroom downstairs with a King bed, and a bathroom is shared on this level. The kids have their own space with two sets of twin bunk beds and large play area downstairs. Also available for children - join the family and take a walk to the Great Camp, or playground with rope bridges, swings, and climbing walls just a short walk up the road. This beautiful Eagles Nest rental home is the place where luxury and beauty meet in perfect harmony. 

Larger groups may enjoy renting this home along with Big Bear Lodge, Bear Creek, and Boulder Creek that are just down the road, or any of our other Eagles Nest properties.

Depending on the home, 4WD, chains or sometimes both may be required when visiting the mountains in winter. Access to this home may not be suitable for vehicles with rear wheel drive, limited ground clearance, or motorcycles even during summer months.  We are happy to help you find the home with the access you are most comfortable with, any time of year!

We absolutely loved Sanctuary at Eagles Nest! I was exceptionally well stocked with comfortable beds and a very convenient location within walking distance of all Great Camp has to offer. But the balcony really stole the show with the views and comfortable seating areas. We all agreed we would come back to this house again.

The Sanctuary at Eagle's Nest was lovely. The house was well stocked and had the most beautiful views of the mountains. The hot tub and outdoor fireplace were relaxing and great ways to spend the evenings. The rooms were spacious and cozy, and two families would fit perfectly. We had a wonderful time. I recommend that the TV in the main room be updated and made easier to use. We could not use that room for any movie viewing because the remotes were difficult to use, and many needed battery replacements. Smart TVs in all bedrooms and entertainment rooms would be a nice upgrade. Overall, the house and surrounding towns were delightful, and we would definitely recommend it to others.

We loved the cabin. The cabin was way up high on the mountain, which I personally loved, but if you're a little stressed about the ride up you might want to think about that, but the area was gorgeous 😍 it snowed the last two days we were there and it was breathtakingly beautiful! VERY nice community and gated for extra security! We LOVED the dollar general store! We visited hawksnest, sugar mountain and Elk River Falls! Loved it all! The kids loved all the games. The adults loved the huge hot tub with LED lights. Pool table wad a HUGE hit as well! All of the indoor fireplaces are on remote controls or switches. We loved the BIG fireplace down below it was beautiful!!!!

Amazing home that was clean and perfect for our families to enjoy. We also loved that everything we needed was there. We had more fun at the house than the slopes. We can’t wait to come back for another amazing trip.

The Sanctuary was the perfect place to stay for a family group with multiple adults. Three of the bedrooms have king beds and each have its own bathroom (1 shares with the kids room). Beautiful neighborhood and views. Very convenient drive to downtown Banner Elk.

We enjoyed the home, the view and the proximity to both Beech Mountain and Sugar Mountain!
- Rita, Posted: 01/17/2023
Our family celebrated Christmas at The Sanctuary. This was our second Christmas staying at an Airbnb in Banner Elk. Overall, this is a 5 star property that is even better in person than the listing photos. We had 2 adult couples and four children for the stay, everyone was very comfortable. Would highly recommend for future stays. * Location is very good. The gated community is very private, with nice amenities for the warmer months. A short drive to either Beech Mountain or Sugar Mountain. * Home is beautiful with an architecture that gives the true mountain feel. The owners clearly built this home for themselves with high end details and luxury furnishings. Kitchen is well appointed for group meals. * Amenities make it fun - hot tub, pool table, foosball, deck, firepit, gas fireplaces; a 24/7 Amazon Go type store is walking distance The home sits at 4500’ elevation, access during snow requires a 4WD truck with off road tires, or an AWD vehicle with tire cables/chains

The property is beautifully set in the North Carolina mountains with picturesque views all around it. It's conveniently located between Beech and Sugar mountain, 15-20 minutes to each one, and 7 minutes of those are just getting down the mountain the home is on. Don't let the pictures deceive you, its everything you'd expect except for some reason they have no pictures of the downstairs which is a great bonus for the house. There is another TV, fireplace, pool table, foosball, and basketball down there! Really enjoyed ourselves!

What a gorgeous home! The kitchen was well-stocked! I love how there were extra hooks in the basement bedrooms for hanging snow bibs and coats. Once you're there… you don't need to leave! So much entertainment in the house. We had a relaxing time as a family, just enjoying the amenities and spacious living!

The house was perfect for celebrating my Aunt’s 70th birthday. Location was perfect and within walking distance to the ropes course and putt putt. It had all the amenities a family needs to enjoy time together without having to leave if a “staycation” is what you want. The property manager responded immediately to questions and reached out numerous times to ensure we had everything we needed. The house was beautiful and exceeded our expectations. We would definitely stay here again.
