About this property

The Guardian Bear Lodge - pet friendly in Eagles Nest, view, game room

  • Come and relax with The Guardian Bear! This luxury three bedroom, three bath home is nestled in the trees within walking distance to the Camp Eagles Nest amenity area of Eagles Nest.

    The main level features an open great room with well-appointed kitchen with stainless steel appliances, custom cabinets, gorgeous granite counters with stone backsplash, and is open to the dining and living area. The dining table seats up to 10 comfortably and there's room for 4 on stools at the eat-in kitchen counter. In the living room, the sofa is situated near the gas fireplace with a large-screen smart TV mounted above, and there's a small desk area as well. There's a huge wall of windows overlooking the forest, and there is deck access to the views and outdoors.

    One of the king suites is on the main level, a log frame bed and lots of windows to let the nature and beauty come inside. The full bath features a tiled shower and granite vanity.

    Upstairs is a second King suite, with a full private bath with quartz vanity and tiled shower. There's also a loft area with a suspended wicker chair and a card table, perfect for those who need to crack open the laptop to answer a few work emails. There's lots of board games here so make some family memories with a fun game!

    On the lower level is another family room with pool table, sofa, chair, a fun selection of books, toys and activities for kids, and another large TV. Enjoy the xBox Series S (no-disc version), with Ultimate Game Pass. Also on this level is the laundry area, a bedroom with three sets of built-in bunk beds: one twin-over-Queen, and two sets of twin-over-twin. This room has a bathroom with double granite vanities and a tub/shower.

    From the downstairs den, step outside to the lower patio and enjoy a relaxing soak in the hot tub or lounge in the rockers! The main level deck offers a window view through the trees, along with a teak patio seating area, table & chairs set, and gas grill. Also on the grounds are a great fire pit and picnic table with Edison lighting above. The main level parking area also offers a Level 2 EV charger.

    Enjoy the private setting! No matter what you do or where you go while you're in the High Country, you're sure to love spending time with The Guardian Bear!
