    Absolutely the most well appointed, clean home. Truly not a single suggestion to improve our stay. My FIL owned and operated a Bed n Breakfast for 35 years. He could only say,” Spectacular”. Our youngest guest who is German and travels a lot said it is her favorite home she has ever stayed in. It was so perfect that we are for sure returning and recommending The Eagles Nest.( but not until we secure a second visit . Scott was attentive and so generous with his replies. Thank you so very much.Until next time, Claudia Wohl

    The property is beautifully maintained and sunsets on the lake are incredible! The home is fully stocked with anything you'd need to make a great vacation. Scott was very responsive and reached out to make sure our stay was going well. We were a group of friends celebrating a wedding, but I could easily see this being a fantastic place to bring a family. Check-in was very smooth and check-out requests were very reasonable.

    Eagles Nest is such a beautiful and welcoming place. I was surprised to see a Christmas tree and holiday decorations out. The view was spectacular. In addition, to the spacious house, the kitchen was perfect for being the center of the house. The warmth I felt from all the details made the wedding weekend even more special with our family and friends who came to share our special occasion,

    We had a family wedding at a nearby venue and this house was conveniently located. We had several extended family members stay with us and this house was perfect with two king bedrooms and the large bunk room. Although our stay wasn’t just for relaxing, the house would have been perfect for a lake vacation. Everything was clean and exactly as pictured.

    There were six of us ladies. The house exceeded our expectations, was fully equipped with everything and tastefully decorated. This is a great place for a large family or large group of friends. There are many games for kids and adults available. I will definitely consider going back.
