Very clean and spacious RV. The location is fantastic and near many trails in the National Forest. The campsite is set up in a way that creates privacy. There is also a creek right against the site. The community seems friendly.

Super cozy place tucked away in the mountains with really good views. There was a little mixup getting to the right place initially, but was quickly sorted. Would definitely book again.

Weekend Trip to Eagle's Nest LODGE, OK
Probably the coolest thing about Eagles nest is the view. There is an open deck and a covered deck for all weather. The cabin has all of the amenities with the exception of Wi-fi, though the Cell reception is excellent. The keyword here is “rustic.” It is a log cabin on a gorgeous hillside overlooking Lake Sardis. we had a great stay and would definitely go back. The wildflowers were blooming, and the butterflies were flying.

Weekend Trip to Morning Light Mountain Lodge
We really enjoyed the view from the porch and the night sky! We did bring an ez-up, which gave us a place to hang out during the rain—the porch is obviously quite small. It was a short weekend, but it was the quiet, private place we were looking for!

Great spot for a weekend getaway. The cabin has everything you'd need from cooking oil to utensils. You can stop at the grocery store, grab some food and head down and not need anything else to have a great time.
