About this home
Welcome to Happy Trails, a masterfully designed mountain sanctuary nestled within the maintenance free Overlook Village within the highly sought after The Lodges at Eagles Nest. This exceptional three-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom residence represents the perfect intersection of rustic charm and modern sophistication, offering a lifestyle of serenity and adventure in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Happy Trails is the ideal choice for a primary residence, a seasonal getaway, or a high-performing short-term rental investment.
The main level serves as the heart of the home, featuring an expansive open-concept living area that emphasizes comfort and connection. A rich leather sofa and inviting armchairs are perfectly positioned around a stately gas fireplace. Large windows frame the surrounding wilderness, bringing the beauty of the outdoors inside.
Culinary enthusiasts will find themselves at home in the gourmet kitchen, which has been thoughtfully updated with premium stainless steel appliances and sleek granite countertops. The oversized island provides ample prep space and features additional bar seating for casual breakfasts or evening cocktails. For more formal gatherings, the adjacent dining area comfortably accommodates six guests, ensuring every meal is shared against the backdrop of the home’s elegant interior. For added functionality, a separate mudroom entrance provides a dedicated space for outdoor gear, complemented by full laundry facilities and a convenient bathroom accessible from this side of the home.
The main level also hosts the primary king suite, a private retreat designed for ultimate rest. This spacious bedroom offers direct mountain views, allowing you to wake up to the sight of the morning mist over the peaks. The ensuite bathroom is a masterpiece of design, featuring a pristine tiled shower with a custom glass door and a sprawling granite double vanity that offers plenty of storage and style.
The upper level is dedicated to entertainment and additional guest comfort. A versatile loft space serves as a secondary living area, complete with a plush couch and a corner table perfect for board game marathons while admiring the scenery through the large windows. The highlight of the loft is the cocktail table arcade, pre-loaded with hundreds of classic games to provide hours of fun for all ages. A unique and valuable feature of this loft is the inclusion of closing doors, which allow the room to be used as a quiet office or a lively game room without disturbing the rest of the house.
The sleeping quarters on the second floor include two well-appointed bedrooms separated by a full bathroom. One bedroom features a luxurious king bed, while the other is a thoughtfully designed bunk room with two sets of built-in twin-over-twin bunks, maximizing sleeping capacity without sacrificing style. The shared bathroom is finished with a tiled tub and shower combination and granite countertops, maintaining the high standard of quality found throughout the home.
The outdoor living spaces at Happy Trails are truly what set this property apart. Step out onto the deck to find a premium hot tub where you can soak away the day while gazing at the long-range, breathtaking views of the Appalachian range. As night falls, follow the path to the custom fire pit area. Located in the Overlook at Eagles Nest, you are just moments away from world-class amenities including hiking and ATV trails, fitness centers, and community pavilions.
