About this property

The Cabin on Eagles Nest

Discover the magic of the Smokies in this hand built, rustic log cabin perched on Eagle's Nest Mountain high above the quaint town of Waynesville. Enjoy our beautiful four and a half acre mountainside setting with pond, stream, seasonal gardens and mature hardwoods.

The cabin, with its perfect location in a cozy, secluded setting, sleeps up to 4 people. Downstairs, the master suite has a queen-sized bed, roomy closet and attached bathroom with Jacuzzi tub/shower. Upstairs, the open loft has two double beds and bathroom with shower. Relax inside by the stone, wood-burning fireplace or outside in a rocking chair on the wrap-around porch. Additional amenities include a fully-equipped kitchen, wi-fi internet, TV/DVD, CD player/stereo (with speakers in the main room, master bedroom and front porch) and land line telephone. The recent addition of a fire pit behind the cabin adds further opportunity to relax.

Waynesville has long been known for its picturesque small-town charm. You will find friendly people, great shops, restaurants and tree-shaded benches to sit on and rest a spell. In season, ole ‘timey street dances and annual festivals fill the little town with excitement, but with none of the hassle of crowds and honky-tonk typical of “tourist traps.”

There is so much to do while you’re here. Explore the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Pisgah National Forest or the Biltmore Estate. Ride and hike the Blue Ridge Parkway. Golf down the road at Laurel Ridge Country Club, raft the Nantahala, ski Catalouchee, ride horseback…or simply kick back and watch the traffic at the bird feeders.

Rest and relaxing
It was the perfect place to unplug and rest. The cabin was situated in an area that made it seem secluded but was only 10 minutes from downtown. We really enjoyed our stay.

Weekend Away
My mom and I decided to spend a weekend in the mountains while she was visiting. The cabin was exactly as advertised and we had a great stay. The check in and out process was simple and the owner was very easy to get ahold of. I would definitely recommend this cabin to those wanting to stay in the area.

A great stay on the mountain. Only a few minutes from Main st. A true cabin with loft, a balcony to enjoy the scenery, and the sound of water from a nearby stream. We’ll be back!

Gorgeous wooded cabin retreat
The Cabin on Eagles Nest is a wonderful rustic cabin in which you can relax and unwind in an environment that boasts a burbling stream, a shady surrounding forest to keep temps cool, and enough nearby amenities to satisfy. Quiet, gorgeous, beautiful. We loved it!

Photos does not to the place justice.
This is a beautiful cabin nestled between the trees. Views from the porch is stunning. Huge tall trees all around. Very secluded. Driveway is steep but manageable with our 2 WD. Would surely come again.

Great Cabin
If I owned a cabin in the woods, this would be it. The cabin was perfect for my husband, 2 adult sons, and our dog. We were visiting for our daughter's wedding at Laurel Ridge and my husband and I stayed for a vacation after the wedding while our sons had to drive back to Florida the day after the wedding. The cabin has everything you would need and it was nice to have the dog off leash and explore a little bit. We met Bill in the meadow one of the days and it was nice to chat with him. The cabin is conveniently located to the town of Waynesville without driving down the mountain to get there. The woods shade the cabin and keep the sun from waking you up in the morning. We enjoyed sleeping a little longer than normal for us in the morning. I would certainly book this cabin again. Thanks from Baltimore, MD

Our new home away from home
My husband and I can’t say enough good things about this lovely little cabin. Everything about this place was wonderful! Pictures honestly don’t do this place justice. The cabin had everything we needed. There were also plenty of little things around the cabin that made our stay even more enjoyable. You can tell the host cares about guests having a nice stay. The location was great, super close to downtown Waynesville but was still secluded enough and tucked away from everything. The surroundings of the cabin are magical as well. The host was very friendly and responded quickly when we reached out to him during our stay. He was also incredibly kind enough to leave us a couple of surprises, including a delicious bottle of wine that we enjoyed upon arrival! Overall, we had a wonderful stay and have decided that we’ll most definitely be back at Cabin on Eagle Nest in the near future!

Amazing Stay
Amazing stay. Cabin was exactly as advertised and extremely well equipped. We did not take full advantage of all the amenities provided. The owners thought of everything. It was very private, yet very convenient to the area. The owners were very helpful in recommending places to eat and go. The cabin is dog friendly, which was a big plus to us. It was a winner and a place we will return to.

Wow!
Where do I begin? You pull up to this awesome gate as you ascend up the driveway. My wife and I both said wow! Gorgeous cabin on the middle of a mountain. We were greeted with a great bottle of wine and two glasses. Beautiful living room, kitchen, loft. All the necessities provided. Really enjoyed sitting by the fire pit at night. Minutes away from the Main Street! I booked last minute, and the host was wonderfully accommodating. I hope to be back again!

About the host

Hosted by Bill Trufant

Host profile image
I was raised in New Orleans, where I still live, and attended summer camp in Western North Carolina. My wife and I purchased The Cabin on Eagles Nest along with our second residence in 2001 and we love spending as much time as possible in the mountains.

Why they chose this property

We love Waynesville and its friendly people and we are only 30 minutes from downtown Asheville.

What makes this property unique

We have a large garden, available for our guests to wander and enjoy, that keeps us busy when we are in the mountains. After gardening, it's time to relax and travel Western North Carolina. We especially enjoy sunsets at Water Rock Knob on the Blue Ridge Parkway just 15 minutes away.
