The Guardian Bear Lodge – A Wooded Mountain Retreat at Eagles Nest
Come relax and make yourself at home at The Guardian Bear, a welcoming mountain retreat tucked among the trees in Eagles Nest. Within walking distance of the Camp Eagles Nest amenity area, this three-bedroom, three-bath home offers a peaceful wooded setting, inviting gathering spaces, and plenty of entertainment for the whole family.
The main level brings everyone together with an open-concept great room featuring a well-appointed kitchen with stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and a spacious dining area. With seating for up to 10 at the dining table and four more at the kitchen counter, there's room for everyone to gather around the table. The living area offers comfortable seating beside the gas fireplace, a large smart TV, and a convenient desk nook. A wall of windows frames the surrounding forest, while deck access makes it easy to step outside and enjoy the fresh mountain air.
A king bedroom with a charming log-frame bed is also located on the main level, complete with plenty of windows and a private bathroom featuring a tiled shower and granite vanity.
Upstairs, a second king bedroom offers its own private bathroom with a tiled shower and quartz vanity. The adjoining loft provides a cozy spot to settle into the suspended wicker chair, enjoy a game of cards, or catch up on a little work. You'll also find a collection of board games ready for some friendly family competition.
The lower level is all about fun and relaxation, with a second living area featuring a pool table, comfortable seating, a large TV, and an Xbox Series S with Game Pass Ultimate. Books, toys, and activities offer plenty to keep younger guests entertained, too. This level also includes the laundry area and a bunk room with three built-in bunk sets: one twin-over-queen and two twin-over-twin. A full bathroom with double granite vanities and a tub/shower combination serves this bedroom.
Outdoor spaces offer just as many ways to enjoy your mountain getaway. Step out from the lower-level den to the patio, where you can unwind in the hot tub or settle into the rockers. Upstairs, the main deck overlooks the surrounding trees and features comfortable teak seating, a dining table, and a gas grill. On the grounds, gather around the fire pit, enjoy a meal at the picnic table, and take in the ambiance of the overhead Edison lights. A Level 2 EV charger is also available at the main parking area.
Whether you're spending the day enjoying the amenities at Eagles Nest, exploring the High Country, or simply relaxing among the trees, The Guardian Bear is a wonderful place to bring everyone together and make lasting mountain memories.
