Nestled near the pristine shore of Watauga Lake, Eagles Peak is a charming cabin offering the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. Surrounded by the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains, this lakeside retreat promises unforgettable memories for both couples and families.

As you enter Eagles Peak, you are greeted by a bright, open main area with warm hardwood details and natural light streaming through a wall of windows.

The living room centers around a stone fireplace with gas logs, creating a cozy atmosphere. A large flat-screen TV, Alexa technology, and leather seating make it an ideal gathering place for movie nights or quiet evenings by the fire.

While relaxing at Eagles Peak, you can enjoy high speed internet access with streaming TV that includes access to Hulu TV, HBO Max, Disney+, and ESPN+, as well as access your own favorite apps. A foosball table located in the main area, as well a Blu-ray player, DVD's, board games, books, and puzzles, and a corn hole game provide endless family fun and entertainment.

The dining area, with seating for six, flows into the well-stocked kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with all the standard cooking supplies and utensils you need. Plus, you’ll find labeled cabinets and drawers for easy navigation, a dishwasher, crock pot, Keurig and drip coffee makers, and communal coffee pods and spices.

The main floor is also where you will find the primary king bedroom, a full bathroom, and a laundry room.

Once upstairs, you’ll discover the secondary king bedroom with a balcony overlooking the lake. The bunk bedroom is great for kids and has a video game system for entertainment. The bedrooms upstairs share a full bathroom.

As you explore the wraparound deck, you’ll appreciate the extended living space, nature sounds, and beautiful views of the lake surrounded by mountains. The deck features a gas fire pit, gas grill, outdoor seating, and tables for outdoor dining. For your ease and comfort, propane is provided for the gas fire pit and the gas grill is hard lined in.

The luxury hot tub and outdoor audio system create a perfect ambiance for unwinding after a fun day at the lake in the summer, a beautiful snow day in the winter, or a day out exploring the area year round.
