Eagles Peak

One of Watauga Lake's Finest Views

Eagles Peak is a lakeside paradise, rising on the hillside just above Watauga Lake with one of the finest views on the water: the lake spread out below the deck and framed by the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Lake access is just across the road, where you will find a community dock and boat slip, with a canoe and life vests included. Spend the day out on the lake, swimming, fishing, or simply taking in the mountains that surround you. Watauga Lake is one of Tennessee’s Bill Dance Signature Lakes, the only one in the northeast corner of the state, known for trout fishing and 106 miles of shoreline backed by the Cherokee National Forest.

Come back to a stone fireplace, a fully stocked kitchen, bedrooms that look out at the lake, and comfortable spaces to gather. Outside, the wraparound deck, luxury hot tub, and gas fire table give everyone room to spread out. Whether you are sipping coffee on the deck above the water, gathering around the fire after a day of exploring, or soaking in the hot tub while the stars shine above, this is a cabin built for making memories.

Guests also enjoy exclusive use of our private Eagles Peak Nature Retreat just up the road, and Blowing Rock, Boone, and the Blue Ridge Parkway are all an easy drive.

Your Private Nature Retreat

The Eagles Peak Nature Retreat is a private piece of land we own and set aside just for our guests. It is a quiet, wooded spot with a covered picnic shelter strung with lights, a charcoal grill, and a fire pit, a relaxed place to cook out, gather in the evening, or make s'mores under the trees. It is included with your stay and yours to enjoy anytime during your visit.

Sleeping Arrangements

Good to Know

• Quiet lake community. Eagles Peak is in a quiet development, and a strict noise ordinance prohibits parties, loud music, and other loud noise. Quiet hours run from 10:00 PM until sunrise.
• Check-in and checkout. Standard check-in is 4:00 PM and check-out is 10:00 AM. A 1 PM early check-in or late checkout is occasionally possible, depending on the cleaning schedule between guests, if guests are checking in/out the same day, and the timing of the request being made. If interested in an early check-in or late checkout, guests may send a message with their request and we will confirm availability one day before their arrival or departure. Once confirmed, guests will be provided with information for how to pay the $65 plus tax fee.
• Getting here. The driveway has a sharp switchback at the bottom and the top of a steep hill. We send turn-by-turn directions before arrival, since mountain GPS is not always reliable.
• Winter travel. If you’re traveling in the winter, we recommend you be prepared for winter weather and plan accordingly. A 4WD or AWD vehicle is recommended in the mountains any time snow is expected. We are not able to provide refunds or transportation assistance for weather related issues.
• Parking, trailers, and boats. The paved driveway accommodates up to 3 vehicles. All trailers and boats must be parked at the bottom of the driveway, detached from the vehicle, or alongside the road near Dock B.
• The Nature Retreat. Access is exclusive to Eagles Peak guests and a gate code is provided after booking. AWD or 4WD is needed to drive up the cleared natural driveway, or you can park at the gate at the bottom of the hill and walk up. A motion-sensor wildlife trail camera sits near the top of that driveway, pointed down the drive rather than at the retreat area.
• Dock and canoe. The community dock and boat slip are reached by the deeded footpath down a nearby driveway or by the Dock B stairs. The green canoe on Dock B labeled Eagles Peak is ours and is yours to use, with oars and life vests inside the cabin.
• Pets. Up to 2 dogs are welcome with a reservation. The pet fee is $90 plus tax, per dog, per stay when you book direct. Dogs only, no other pets, and no pit bulls. Dogs must be leashed any time they are outside the home, including in the driveway and on walks. Traveling with more than two dogs? Send us a note before you book and we will let you know whether we can accommodate them.
• Smoking. This is a non-smoking property. Smoking, tobacco, and vaping products of any kind are not permitted inside the home.
• Standby generator. The cabin is equipped with a backup whole-house generator, so the essentials keep running regardless of the weather.
• Starter supplies. Beds are made and towels are set out before you arrive, and we stock a small starter supply of conditioning shampoo, body wash, hand soap, dish detergent, laundry detergent, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, coffee pods, and tea. It is enough to get you comfortably settled in, so please plan to bring whatever else your group will need for the rest of your stay.
• Minimum age. The primary guest must be at least 25 years of age to book.
