Description Description
The Outside Inn at The Lodges at Eagles Nest! This stunning home is perched at nearly 5,000 ft. of elevation on a very secluded 5+ acre homesite and looks out on to 180 degree panoramic mountain views, featuring sunrises over Grandfather Mountain and sunsets over Roan Mountain. The Outside Inn is the embodiment of sophisticated architecture paired with refined interior design. Put simply, this entire property is a pure work of art unto itself. The owners spent nearly a year carefully selecting the land, which offered the exact combination of views, elevation, privacy and space they wanted. They then engaged with multiple architects to painstakingly create a home design that was both extraordinary looking from the outside, yet functional and comfortable on the inside.

The reclaimed wood and stone materials were selected to reflect a seamless blend of authentic Appalachian construction, while the simple, clean lines of the interiors sublimely give way to an abundance of windows looking out to the exquisite vistas. The landscape design, weaving in and out through boulders as old as time itself, was crafted to cultivate an eternal and enduring sense of having always been there. The net result is a refreshing sensation of being immersed in the hearty mountain textures and stirring landscape the home offers from nearly every inch of the indoor and outdoor living space. This home features an outdoor wood burning fireplace. Of course this rugged authenticity is accompanied by the opulent furnishings, fine artwork and luxury appliances one would expect from a home of this caliber. All within the awe-inspiring surroundings, and with access to the exciting amenities, of the most exceptional gated community available for luxury home rentals in The Blue Ridge Mountains. Come experience a truly "next level" North Carolina mountain vacation at The Outside Inn at The Lodges at Eagles Nest in Banner Elk.

The Outside Inn at The Lodges at Eagles Nest is located just minutes from the charming town of Banner Elk. Featuring a wide variety of noted gourmet restaurants and excellent specialty and upscale boutiques, Banner Elk is a destination all its own. Here each season brings with it something spectacular, from our cool air and outdoor activities in the summer, to our incredible fall foliage, to great skiing during the winter. Banner Elk is also home to Lees-McRae College and its wonderful summer theater program, as well as numerous athletic events for spectators throughout the year.

In the summertime, enjoy a nice hike right from your doorstep! The winding trails can be hiked, fun for everyone! Beech Mountain is a short drive away using the back gate of Eagles Nest.

Absolutely breathtaking.
First, the house is HUGE! All the rooms were spacious and luxurious. So many bathrooms! A HUGE tv in the den! A kitchen + butler's pantry! AMAZING all around!
The outside was like a gorgeous fairy garden of delight. Beautiful landscaping.
The VIEWS took our breath away. The sun rises and sets across the stunning blue mountains and you are right there, poised to see it all. We were literally watching the sunset, as the clouds were below us one day, and couldn't even speak. It was so beautiful.
We will be back for sure. Don't hesitate! Book this place!
(Also, the little lodge-style "Dollar General" down the road where you can walk in and out and it just knows what you took - cutest thing ever! We kept going back just to buy random stuff!)

Wonderful stay! The Outside Inn has all the accommodations and details completed! It is truly a special home. We comfortably enjoyed our stay with two additional families! Beautiful views and wonderful fire-pit and spaces for conversations. Plenty of areas for the kids to explore and enjoy here at Eagles Nest!

Michelle, thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad the Outside Inn worked well for your group and that you enjoyed the views, fire pit, and gathering spaces. We’d love to host you again soon. - BRMR

The view was sure worth the drive, it’s breathtaking. The house had lots of bells and whistles and felt just like home, very luxurious and well built. I wasn’t even upset that charcoal grill wasn’t available for use, lot of people don’t know how properly use them, and I’d probably be the same way. I’d like to come back some time.

View is amazing - very few homes will even come close. House is much nice than the photos. Extras like Sonos music system were very pleasant surprise. "Butler's pantry" is convenient for drink service. You'll never be alone outside with abundant wildlife - we saw deer, rabbits, skunk and 3 bears! FUTURE SUGGESTION: Replace queen bed with king.

This property is amazing. A bit of a drive up the mountain but the views are well worth it! Very close to ski areas, grandfather mountain, and many other things to do in the area. The house was beautiful and clean. The property contact was very quick to respond to any requests we had, communicated to us throughout our stay, and made check in and out very easy. Five star home and service!
