Hiking + UTV/ATV Trails

Up for the unexpected in the North Carolina mountains? At Eagles Nest, thousands of scenic acres are calling. From the edges of the Elk River to 5,000-foot-peaks, hike on foot or explore on UTV/ATVs. We’re one of the few local communities that offers an impressive network of UTV/ATV trails sure to immerse you in lush and breathtaking valleys and forests. Simply rent your UTV through our onsite Eagles Nest Outdoor Company, and enjoy a full-day of exploring. As they say, “There are no limitations to the family fun to be had.”

Resolution: Dust off that fishing gear!

Welcome to the River Club

One of the great benefits of owning Banner Elk real estate is life along the Elk River. How does access to 2,000 feet of private riverfront sound? Private riverfront that’s also considered trophy trout fishing waterways? We invite you to become a member of the River Club to receive exclusive access to the rustic River Lodge and an array of bliss-inducing amenities–none quite as blissful as the famous Elk River, but that’s the whole point. For more details, please reach out with any questions you may have.

Resolution: Finally, focus on connections and quality relationships.

The Great Camp

Social butterflies and introverts alike, unite! Every year, our Great Camp gathers the whole neighborhood and Eagles Nest family for a packed calendar of activities appropriate for all ages and interests. Inspired by the good ol’ days of summer camp and fun in the sun, our versatile activity area features something for everyone (cross our hearts), including: a performance area that serves as center stage for seasonal concert series and other community events; a beautiful amphitheater with a spacious dance floor; a toy barn packed with entertainment essentials for kids aged toddlers to teens; a for-rent, luxurious teepee village equipped with cozy and convenient amenities (think cozy king-sized beds, Keurig coffee makers, refrigerators, etc.); a barbeque pavilion; cigar and wine bar; plus, options for everyday fun like mini putt-putt, a ropes course, corn hole, archery, and more!
