The cabin is named "Eagle's Perch" for a good reason: It's one of the highest cabins in the resort, and the views are absolutely spectacular! You will love the cathedral ceilings and tall windows in this charming open-plan cabin complete with stone fireplace, hardwood floors, pool table, foosball table, arcade, large screen TVs, hot tub and three decks overlooking the Great Smoky Mountains.
Eagle's Perch has four bedrooms and three bathrooms split across three levels. Two of the bedrooms are Kings, one is a Queen and one has bunk beds. The upper bedroom is our favorite, with vaulted ceilings, a private bathroom, and a private deck! It also has a full-size futon for extra accommodation. The main floor bedroom also has a private deck, and there are two more bedrooms on the lower floor that share a bathroom and another deck. The full-size leather sleeper sofa in living room provides additional comfortable sleeping space. All King and Queen bedrooms are equipped with 55’ TV whereas the bunk bedroom has a 40’ TV and all connected with cable and internet with access to Netflix, Hulu and tons of entertainment. Enjoy unlimited lightning-fast internet and WiFi while you stay. Indulge yourself with family and friends in downstairs large game room equipped with standard-sized pool table, foosball table, and 65’ flat TV. Or have a little competition in the hallway on our electronic dart game. You'll find the kitchen well-equipped with the usual appliances, cookware and utensils, plus a coffee machine and a selection of teas.
So after a long day at Dollywood, the Great Smoky Mountains, Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg, enjoy relaxing on one of the THREE decks and enjoy the majestic views of the Smoky Mountains with a cold beer, a glass of wine, or a hot cup of coffee or tea. Then head down to the game room for a game of pool or darts, or out to the hot tub to watch the sunset. Later in the evening, enjoy a movie on one of the flat screen TV's.
The cabin is privately owned and managed by our family -- no property managers here! The cabin was recently renovated and refurnished. You will enjoy and appreciate a new large natural wood dining table, new leather sleeper sofa, new lazy rocking chairs, new window blinds, new hardwood floor throughout downstairs, new pool table and foosball table, new Galaga arcade machine with 3000 games, new bedding, and much more.
Eagle's Perch is one of the highest cabins in the resort, which is why it has AWESOME views. Because of this, the last 200 feet of road is pretty steep. If you're not used to mountain roads, you may find it a bit scary the first time. But rest assured, after a couple of times you'll feel like a pro! Front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive cars perform best in the Smoky Mountains. Two-wheel drive pickup trucks don't do well because all the weight is in the front and so the rear wheels can spin. Low-clearance sporty-type cars may scrape their front spoilers at the base of the drive. If you are renting a car, a full-size front-wheel drive is suggested.
Winter bookings: Snow is rare and usually melts quickly. But if you're staying in January or February, 4WD or AWD is highly recommended just in case. Although rare, be aware that if there is snow on the ground when you arrive, you *WILL* need a 4WD or AWD to get up the driveway.
Trip insurance is recommended, especially in the winter. There are no refunds for weather, although in the unlikely event you cannot make it to the cabin we will allow you to reschedule your stay for another time.
There is guaranteed parking for two cars at the cabin. There is overflow parking for a couple more within a few hundred yards at the foot of the hill. Please see the parking map in the listing photos for more details.
