Golden Arrow Lodge
Golden Arrow Lodge is an upscale escape with spectacular long-range mountain views from every room. The expansive main living room is right out of a magazine with soaring ceilings and a beautiful stone fireplace. Sit by the fire in the morning and sip your coffee or sit on the newly expanded deck and watch the sunrise over the mountains while enjoying the warmth from the outdoor stone fireplace. Make meals in the fully equipped kitchen or dine out at one of the many nearby restaurants. After a day of exploring the great outdoors, shopping, or visiting one of the local breweries, return to relaxation at Golden Arrow Lodge with a soak in the hot tub overlooking the mountains. Or, for some friendly competition, head down to the lower-level game room where you can play a game of pool, poker, or an arcade game while watching your favorite team on the 75" TV. The cabin has satellite, and you can also use the WIFI for your streaming apps.
The 4,800 square foot home easily accommodates 14 guests so it is large enough to host big family/friend gatherings, yet at the same time can be cozy enough for a couple that wants to get away and enjoy a relaxing time together.
At 4,200 ft. elevation, enjoy cool summer temperatures up in the beautiful Smoky Mountains in Western North Carolina. Close to the Blue Ridge Parkway and situated between Waynesville and Maggie Valley, the lodge is in the exclusive gated Smoky Mountain Retreat at Eagle’s Nest – a premier 1,000-acre sanctuary and luxury log cabin community ranked as one of “America’s 10 Best Log Home Communities” by Log Home Living Magazine.

Recently had a deck expansion pavilion added with a brand-new hot tub and wood-burning fireplace!
Upper Level: Loft with seating area and a desk, queen bedroom with bathroom, and a second bedroom with two twin beds that shares a bathroom with the loft.
Lower Level: Family room with large screen TV, pool table, poker table, arcade games, king bedroom, and bathroom. The fifth bedroom is a bunk room with queen mattresses on the bottom two bunks and twin mattresses on the top two bunks.
It is an 8-minute drive up the mountain. The roads are well-maintained and paved, however, some steeper parts can be "scary" for some people. You do not need a 4-wheel drive vehicle.

Ladies weekend in the Smokys at the Golden Arrow Lodge.
Wow. That’s all the ladies said as they traveled up the mountain to our weekend retreat. My two granddaughters, two nieces, step daughter and friend. Then they entered the home and the wows started again.
I’m a very good cook so we had gourmet meals morning and night. This was the best equipped kitchen I’ve ever had in a rental. I lacked for nothing to cook and entertain the crew. Every bedroom was so lovely no one was disappointed. Good internet connection, Alexa kept the music going, perhaps a little bit too much Taylor Swift but we enjoyed it all. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home!
