Secluded, dog-friendly mountain-view cabin with hot tub & two fireplaces

Sun Eagle Lodge

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

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 hot tub, 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 into the hot tub and admire the moonlit sky above.

Don't Rent From Vacasa

I wish I could figure out how to upload photos to my review, because gross. This cabin was in a great location, about 18 minutes from a grocery store, and still remote enough to feel like you weren't in the middle of everything. HOWEVER, the place was barely surface-level clean when we arrived. There were three rotting pumpkins on the main deck that had obviously been there since October (for full reference, it was April 1st). The pumpkins were so rotten that they were flat and a gross yellow/black moldy color. The couch was also COVERED in gross spills/stains from drinks. We had to wipe down the entire couch prior to sitting on it. The dishwasher was FULL of half-washed dishes, and there was leftover soap scum on everything. Turns out the dishwasher was broken and not cleaning properly, so we had to wash everything by hand. Several of the towels had brown stains on them, so we ended up washing every towel prior to using any of them.Additionally, you have no hope of using the hot tub during a rain storm or any kind of misty situation because it's not under a fully covered portion of the deck. The hot tub is located underneath an uncovered portion of the main deck, so when it rains, the runoff from the top deck drips through the moldy/algae-covered top deck directly on top of the hot tub. This is an easy fix. the hot tub just needs to be moved under a fully covered portion of the deck. There's more, but I'm out of space.

Rental company confirmed our trip only to cancel at 10:30pm the night before, less than 24hrs!!

The day before our planned anniversary weekend away, the rental company confirmed our trip sending us the key code to get in and all the information we needed. At 10:30 PM, the same day/night that we received confirmation, while I was sleeping I get a text saying I needed to call them urgently because they cancelled my trip due to hazardous driveway conditions. Keep in mind this was a storm that came in a week prior to our weekend away and not weather conditions that just happened within 24hrs. So they should have warned us about the driveway situation a lot sooner. Instead the confirmed we were good to go only to cancel at 10:30pm!! They tried to make it sound like they are making it up to me by telling me that they emailed me two other rental locations in the area of which neither house was up to par compared to the one I picked. After a 30 minute conversation on the phone, we found another home to rent with them and I went to bed again thinking everything was good only to wake up to another email that they put that house on hold because they weren’t sure if the roadway was good. So now we are at the day my husband and I were suppose to be leaving for our much needed weekend away and we had no place to go leaving me stressed and scrambling to find another place!!! Needless to say we canceled with them and will not ever rent with this company again!!! Such poor service!!!

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!

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.

Peaceful little nightmare

Checked in one hour and 15 minutes after my 4:00 check in time and the cabin wasn’t even cleaned. Took forever to get a response from VRBO or Vacasa, so we dropped our stuff on the kitchen table and left our pup so we could get groceries. Came back and started to put stuff up, at nearly nine they offered to move us to a clean cabin. They would not charge us anymore for it. It was cheaper for the week then the place I booked because it had no views and no hot tub but I was still required to pay the same as if I Had the much nicer place. Crazy I know. So they finally offered to a somewhat refund and I washed alll the sheets, towels, dishes and bathrooms myself. Every woman’s dream on her vacation. The kitchen had a serious leak at some time, tubs wouldn’t not drain at all, buttons on dishwasher and hot tub are all kinds of messed up so good luck figuring that out. The grill had t been cleaned in months it was so bad we couldn’t use it Without buying more cleaning materials to do so. So we just nixed that idea. Think the nightmare was over? Nope. Vacasa emails me the next day saying they were going to disrupt my stay if I didn’t pay them $333. I paid in full on VRBO and I sent All my proof and went back and fourth most of the next day, said they would fix it but still haven’t. They then proceeded to charge me almost $500 out of nowhere and could not tell me why. I spent my once in a lifetime kid free vacation with anxiety and fighting vacasa. I will NEVER book again.

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.

Beware of Hot Tub!

The cabin was very nice. The views of the mountains were gorgeous! The close proximity to Bryson City and other cute mountain towns was very convenient. BUT I developed folliculitis from the HOT TUB! I even showered afterwards - and still broke out. I ended up being put on an antibiotic to stop the spread of the rash - blisters and painful. Three weeks later (during Christmas), I developed pancolitis and c-diff from the antibiotic for the hot tub rash......it was horrible. In the hospital for 9 days! Stay away from the hot tub at this cabin! Bacteria City!
