About this property

Sun Eagle Lodge

  • Summary:

    Secluded, dog-friendly mountain-view cabin with two fireplaces



    The Space:

    You'll fall in love with the majestic mountain views and untouched natural beauty surrounding this gorgeous property. This classic mountain home is tucked into a secluded hillside outside Bryson City, making it the perfect combination of comfort and convenience. This retreat has been a favorite Bryson City rental cabin for a while. Start the day outside on the upper deck gazing out towards the Smoky Mountains. There is nothing better than peering out over the powder-white sea of clouds, basking in the sunshine, and kicking back in one of the Adirondack chairs with a cup of coffee.



    Newly upgraded, the Sun Eagle Lodge is a lavish accommodation with the majesty of the mountains and new furniture with the comforts you desire. The well-equipped, modern kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and all the necessary gadgets to make meal prep a breeze. Gather the group at the dining table or sit at the breakfast bar. Pause a moment to admire the view from inside, almost as spectacular as the one from the deck, thanks to the soaring wall of windows in the main living space. The downstairs bedroom has a king bed, a gas fireplace, a satellite TV, access to the deck, and a luxurious en suite bathroom with a double vanity. The second bedroom has a king bed and an en suite bathroom with a shower/tub combination. The third bedroom in the open-concept loft has a queen bed, a satellite TV, and a bath conveniently across the hall.



    Outdoor enthusiasts will be in paradise! Grab a set of binoculars and catch the hundreds of species of birds or take a walk along the tree-lined winding roads on Baines Mountain. After a day out exploring all the natural wonders that surround you, turn on the gas fireplace and get cozy on the sectional in front of the TV, or head back outside to enjoy that view once more. Grill some dinner on the top deck and dine alfresco, then cool off on the tree-shaded lower deck. Relax and take in the view from one of the rocking chairs, or gather and chat around the fire pit. At the end of the night, slip onto the spacious deck and admire the moonlit sky above.

Great Getaway

Great views, clean, easy access. It made you feel secluded and away from everything, yet is close enough to head out for a bite to eat or a quick trip to the DG.

The Bryson City area has more to offer than can be crammed into one week. Add in a “mountain top” home and it’s the perfect place to vacation.

Perfect little getaway cabin!

Highly recommend this cabin. Booking/checkin was quick & easy. The cabin was clean & comfortable. Had everything we needed for our stay. Private but still close to stores/tourist spots. Beautiful uninterrupted views from every deck. Would definitely stay here again.

Loved this place, as shown in pictures no surprises (which is good). I am already thinking of booking it for next year. Ample parking area, property wrapping decks with weather protection. Safe and private location. Mins from local town.

Came down to ride our motorcycles, and my parents came to relax. Worked out great for both of us. Had a great time, when we got back from riding we had quiet and relaxing time.

Beautiful location.

Plenty of room for 6 (we had 4). My wife and kids loved it. It's a perfect get away spot. We had been staying at another cabin when we visited Bryson City, but it didn't hold a candle to the view, and sheer beauty of this place. We would most definitely book again if available.

Scenic Beauty

Beautiful view from two decks and the main open floor/ loft bedroom. It is super secluded. You can’t see another cabin or power line. It was amazing to just relax and take it in. Location was an easy drive to Bryson City and Deep Creek.

Beautiful home with beautiful views

Our stay was peaceful, relaxing, and beautiful. We came from Chicago so I was worried about the drive up the mountain (we've had scary experiences before) but it was relatively easy. The way is paved almost all the way up and the home is easy to find. I especially enjoyed the sunrise view from the bed on the first floor. We would definitely come back and recommend to friends.

Bryson City Weekend

My family stayed in this cabin for Polar Express weekend in Bryson City. The cabin was just as advertised. It had great views from both levels of the deck. The beds were all warm and comfortable. It rained most of the time so we were unable to use the fire pit. We made it up to the house in a mini-van no problem. Great stay and I would recommend it to any one looking in that area.

Perfect Getaway!

We loved this house and location! The view on the main level porch is wonderful anytime of the day and the hot tub was great for the chilly nights. The road leading up to the house is about a half a mile of gravel. It's a bit narrow but not too steep. I don't have 4WD/AWD and my car did just fine. Bryson city is less than a 20 minute drive. We spent the day there for a train ride and walked about the town. I definitely recommend this place for your next autumn vacation!

Cute cabin close to downtown

Nice modern cabin with updated furniture and great views from each floor. Loves that each floor had its own bedroom and full bathroom. My only complaint was that the hot tub would not maintain temperature. It was hot when we got there and were able to use it Friday night. By Saturday morning it had dropped from 104 to 100°, Saturday night was 98° and Sunday morning was all the way down to 93°. The temp was set to 104 but not heating properly and the hot tub was one of the main reasons we booked this cabin. Everything else was great!

We had high hopes…

Unfortunately, the house just didn’t live up to our hopes. We know that short-term rentals all have their quirks/wear & tear issues, but this one had a few too many. It was tough to make a meal; the kitchen didn’t have any hot pads, a strainer to drain pasta, etc. A lot of the tech was unusable: the WiFi was weak (do not try to work from there), the remotes were either missing or had broken buttons, etc. There were some pros: the beds were very comfy, the decks were fabulous and the view was great. Most issues could have been resolved while we were there, but Vacasa didn’t respond other than a middle-of-the-night text staying that they would look into the issues & get back to me (which they didn’t). I won’t stay at a Vacasa home again.

Just blew us off

Ok I’ll start with the good then leave with the bad . View was great place was fine . We knew we would spend time there . Not just sleep and go . We book this place having a hot tub on deck with great view . Not to mention there were plenty of other places . Yes review s did say they have hot tub problem like not working !!! Ok us too . We contacted them everyday !!! Nothing never did get it fixed !!! Got home looked at bill and guess what we were charged for something that never worked . Ok. Been trying to get our money back nothing . So in our opinion don’t book through them.and hope your experience is a better one . And ya the fireplace didn’t work either, Vacasa is not the people to book with!
