The house was clean and well-appointed, the views were fantastic, and we enjoyed having many of the amenities of Eagles Nest (walking/hiking trails, ATV rentals and trails, Sportsman’s Grille) within close walking distance. This last benefit is not a given in Eagles Nest, which is much more sprawling than I had envisioned and can involve fairly long drives to get from one part of the community to another. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nikki L. 25 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Mountain winter wonderland We had a treacherous drive up to the property because we arrived the day after a big snowstorm. They do an excellent job plowing the roads, but it was still too early for all the snow to be gone. Once we made it to the cabin, all was forgotten. The home is so warm and cozy and we just camped out and enjoyed the scenery for two days. Snow plows continued to come by and by the time we left, the roads were clear. The cabin has a fully-stocked kitchen and all the amenities you’d need. Would definitely stay again. ##### Nikki L.
