About this property

Running Waters Lodge - private log home with hot tub, game room, fire pit!

The Running Waters Lodge at Eagles Nest! This luxury 4 Bedroom/4.5 Bath home offers nearly 3,500 square feet of heated and cooled living space resting on a spacious 2.73 acres at over 3,700 feet of elevation. Adirondack and farmhouse elements blend seamlessly to balance function and utility with classic rustic elegance. Running Waters was built on a full basement foundation and is wrapped in gorgeous logs and Appalachian Poplar Bark. The interior is framed by spectacular, hand peeled white pine logs, heart of pine walls and distressed hardwood floors.

The kitchen offers exquisite granite counters, island dining area and a copper sink. The main level master bedroom has it's own stone fireplace and Jacuzzi tub. The 2nd floor offers a loft office and two full guest suites. The full finished basement features a casual game room and additional guest bedroom. The home looks out onto rolling mountain views to the south and is immersed in the sound of the gentle creek that runs next to it.

The Lodges at Eagles Nest is a world-class 3,000+ acre master-planned development with altitudes over 5,200 feet framed by spectacular 360-degree mountain views as far as the eye can see. The natural features of the property include acres upon acres of undeveloped green space and pastures, rushing streams, waterfalls, massive boulder formations, abundant wildlife and much more.
The Running Waters Lodge 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 addition, the nearby towns of Blowing Rock, Valle Crucis and Boone, home to Appalachian State University, add to the unique flavor and sophisticated country charm of the area. Call today to secure this property for your next Blue Ridge Mountain vacation!

Snow Day
Great place for a family vaca. Be aware that sometimes even 4WD is not enough. We were lucky enough to get hit with 4"-6" of snow during our stay. My truck was fine getting in and out but our family's Honda pilot wasn't going anywhere.

Great Stay
Great quiet location with a home full of everything-you-need. Easy check in process. Home is close to the gate. We staying in January during a snow storm... the access road to the home is a steep decline and then an incline up the driveway. 4x4 is an absolute necessity with snow. We would stay here again
