Eagle Crest Lodge started its life as a horse barn. We converted it from 5 horse stalls and a hayloft to a cozy lodge with 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 2 living rooms and 2 kitchens and beautiful covered porches. The Lodge comfortably accommodates up to 18 people and its 3 acres of pasture land leads down to a quiet finger on South Holston Lake. It will be an experience you won't forget. Eagle Crest Lodge is just a few minutes from Abingdon, VA and, of course, the Creeper Trail. It has two master bedrooms each with a king bed and their own bathroom, another bedroom with a queen size bed, and two more bedrooms upstairs each with two sets of bunk beds, a queen bed and bathroom access. The property has plenty of space for togetherness and privacy with 2 kitchens, 2 living rooms, 2 laundry rooms. Guests can enjoy evenings at the fire pit. The Lodge has 3 acres of pasture land giving plenty of room for kids to play. In addition, The Lodge is right on a quiet finger of South Holston Lake. It has a private dock with a water slide and a gazebo with steps right down to the water. There is a small boat ramp on the property and access to the neighborhood dock for larger boats. You can walk down to the lakefront or access it by car. NOTE: The Lodge can not be used for large parties. It is strictly a vacation rental and has a maximum capacity of 18. Since this is a lakefront property guests will be required to sign a liability release to complete their reservation. You will have full access to the whole Lodge. This is not our home and does not have any personal belongings in it...so everything out is for your use. In this time of COVID, we all need an escape and we're all concerned about safety. Cleanliness has always been a top priority at The Farm (the company who runs this Airbnb listing) and our guests frequently praise us in their reviews. Our County Board of Heath agrees and in October 2020 we received a perfect 100 score! While we won't be available in person, we run an office in Asheville, NC to manage our Event Venue and rental properties. The office is open from 9:30 to 5:00 M-F. The staff is happy to answer your questions. If you have a pressing need, we have an after hours service who can forward your request to someone who can help. Eagle Crest Lodge is located in a private gated community. It is located right on South Holston Lake - the perfect place for swimming, boating etc. Eagle Crest is 7 miles from Abingdon, VA and the famous Barter Theater, 3 miles to the Virginia Creeper trail, 15 minutes to Damascus, VA (for bike rentals), 20 minutes to the Bristol Speedway, 1 hour to Grayson Highlands State Park (see the wild ponies!) and 2 hours from Asheville, NC.
