Sunsets and a well-stocked home

Guests highlight the sunset views from the deck and how well-stocked and comfortable the home feels.
Breathe in the mountain air and settle into Sunset Ridge, where golden sunsets spill across distant peaks and every room feels warm and inviting. Start mornings with quiet coffee on the deck, gather in the open kitchen after adventures, then unwind by the fire or beneath the stars in the hot tub. With inviting bedrooms, playful spaces, and access to Eagles Nest amenities, this is the kind of getaway that invites you to slow down and truly relax! ATVs and dirtbikes are not allowed on-site.

Nearby Dining: Epic Chophouse

Epic Chophouse restaurant in Banner Elk offers the top dining experience and best mountain views in the High Country of North Carolina. We literally elevated food and drink in the Blue Ridge when we opened our Eagles Nest location at 4,300 feet elevation in 2025. Perched atop a knoll with panoramic vistas, our gorgeous mountain lodge setting has soaring ceilings, glass walls and striking art. Watch summer sunsets from covered decks complete with firepits. Open year-round, the bar and dining room with a massive stone fireplace are perfect places to gather with friends on winter days.

A ski resort town in the Blue Ridge peaks, with farm-to-table restaurants, mountain cabins, and trails grounding a laid-back pace.

From the host

Welcome to The Lodges at Eagles Nest, a private, gated community perched 5,200+ feet in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Think of it as a luxury summer camp for families—where high-end living meets the wild outdoors. Buffalo Whiskey sits in the Great Camp section on the front side of the mountain, within easy reach of the community's most popular gathering spots.

### COMMUNITY HIGHLIGHTS & AMENITIES

**The Great Camp:** The heart of the community, with a BBQ pavilion, amphitheater (home to the summer concert series), mini-golf, a playground, and the "Toy Barn" housing a 24/7 General Store for basic supplies.

**Epic Chophouse:** With your stay at our home in Eagles Nest, you have the option to dine at Epic Chophouse! Perched atop a knoll with panoramic mountain vistas, this beautiful restaurant offers a memorable setting with soaring ceilings, glass walls, and striking artwork. During the warmer months, enjoy the mountain scenery and summer sunsets from the covered decks, complete with firepits. In winter, the bar and dining room become a cozy gathering spot with a massive stone fireplace. Reservations may sometimes be available during the slower season, but during busier months, walking into the bar is often your best bet. If you would like to try for a reservation at Epic, please reach out to us and we can share their phone number. Thank you!

**Eagles Nest Winery:** World-class wines in a converted barn with sweeping views. Day passes are available (~$25) for guests 16+.

**Sports & Recreation:** The North Pavilion offers basketball and pickleball courts, ball fields, and a dog park. Camp Eagles Nest also features tennis, disc golf, and fishing ponds.

**Hiking & Trails:** Miles of scenic trails wind through Eagles Nest, offering opportunities to explore the surrounding mountain landscape.

### SEASONS AT 5,000 FEET

**Spring & Summer:** Mild temperatures, lush greenery, and the Summer Concert Series (May–Nov) at the amphitheater on weekends.

**Fall:** Some of the best leaf-peeping in the country, with vibrant reds and golds surrounding the lodges.

**Winter:** A snowy wonderland minutes from the slopes. Beech Mountain Resort is approximately 10–15 minutes away, while Sugar Mountain Resort is approximately 15–20 minutes away. Roads are plowed, but 4WD/AWD is required November–March due to steep grades and snow.

### NEARBY ATTRACTIONS

Grandfather Mountain and its Mile-High Swinging Bridge, the Wilderness Run Alpine Coaster, and Elk River Falls are all a short drive. Beyond the gates, downtown Banner Elk offers dining at Stonewalls, Artisanal, and Louisiana Purchase.

### NOTES AND TIPS

**Gate Access:** You will need a pass or code for the main gate, provided before check-in.

**Access Restrictions:** The Fitness Center and locked portions of the Sportsman's Lodge are normally owner-only unless the membership allows guest access.

**Construction:** This is a growing community, so there is occasional construction visible during the day.
