If you’ve ever wandered the back roads off Hwy 194 and thought, “I could get used to this,” Doe Run Cottage will not help you stay objective.
Tucked into the Fish Camp corner of The Lodges at Eagles Nest — about three miles from downtown Banner Elk — this single-level cottage just landed a fresh price at $737,900.
It’s small, it’s smart, and there’s a creek doing most of the talking out back.
A Cottage Built for Slowing Down
Two bedrooms, two and a half baths, fully furnished, and built in 2019 — which means you get mountain character without the mountain-cabin maintenance list. Inside, the open kitchen and living area centers on a live-edge wood island with seating for six (the natural gathering spot, whether you’re cooking or just refusing to leave).
The screened-in porch is the real headliner, with a six-person dining table made for long dinners and cool evenings. And below the home, a gentle creek runs through the property — your free white-noise machine, no app required.
The Eagles Nest Lifestyle
Step out the front door and you’re in one of the High Country’s most amenity-packed communities. We’re talking Elk River access for catch-and-release trophy trout fishing, miles of hiking and ATV trails, pickleball and tennis courts, summer concerts at the amphitheater, and the Eagles Nest Winery for the days you’d rather sip than hike.
Skiing at Sugar and Beech is a short drive, and Boone’s restaurants are close enough for a spontaneous night out. The gated setting and proven rental history mean it works as a full-time home, a weekend escape, or a smart investment — your call.
Come See It
Here’s the honest pitch: Doe Run Cottage isn’t trying to be the biggest house on the mountain. It’s the one you actually relax in — fire pit going, creek murmuring, trout waiting downstream. With the new price and everything Eagles Nest brings to the table, it’s worth a look whether you’re putting down roots around here or finally claiming your slice of the High Country.
