Description

Welcome to Whiskey River Lodge in the RiverWalk Section of The Lodges at Eagles Nest — the best of both worlds. Enjoy a lower HOA and a boutique, gated riverfront enclave just minutes from downtown Banner Elk, with full access to every Eagles Nest amenity. Add 150 feet of Elk River frontage with full fishing rights, and it's easy to see why this timber-frame retreat, set high above the water, is one of the most compelling second-home opportunities in Banner Elk.

Life at Eagles Nest means never running out of things to do — weekly concerts in the outdoor amphitheater, dinner at the Epic Chophouse, breakfast or lunch at the Sportsmen's Lodge and Grill, pickleball, tennis, and basketball courts, miles of UTV and hiking trails, trout-stocked ponds with River Club access, mountain mini golf, a fitness center, and glamping teepees for visiting guests.

Built by Copper Nail Construction with natural wood and stone throughout, the home features timber posts and beams, tongue-and-groove white pine ceilings, oak hardwood floors, and Appalachian poplar bark accents. The kitchen offers custom cabinetry, granite counters, and an island bar flowing into the dining area and great room, anchored by a floor-to-ceiling Tennessee fieldstone fireplace and wet bar.

Step onto the spacious deck for covered and open-air dining overlooking the river below. Welcome to Whiskey River Lodge, where you can fly fish from the backyard or float the river in a tube on a warm afternoon.

The main-level primary suite offers river views and a soaking tub, while two upstairs guest bedrooms share a full bath.

Currently enjoyed as a full-time residence, this home would make an equally wonderful mountain getaway or income-producing investment — a rare chance to own the river without giving up the mountain lifestyle.
