Modern Cottage on the Susquehanna River

Located directly on the Susquehanna River in The Endless Mountains, “The Eagles Nest" has all the modern amenities you need, while still making you feel cozy and at home in this charming cottage. Enjoy dinner on the 3 season porch or relax on the large deck and watch the Eagles and wildlife from the perfect vantage point. Families and friends can kayak, fish or simply lounge and read a book. Bring your boat and launch directly from the property (we highly recommend a 4WD truck to launch your boat). In the evenings you can have a campfire (wood is supplied for you) or light the propane fireplace on the deck. And if you want to leave the house, you can take a 15 minute drive to Tunkhannock to visit the wineries or antique stores. The vacation possibilities are endless!
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

The property perfectly accommodated 2 adults, 4 teens snd 2 dogs. There was plenty of parking. We enjoyed kayaking, fishing, and spending time by the fire. The kitchen is very well stocked. Pictures don’t do this location justice.

Wonderful weekend getaway

This house was beautiful, clean, open, and exactly what is pictured. There are lots of amenities and we had plenty to do while staying there. At night the backyard can get pretty buggy but with games and a TV we were all set. Holly was responsive, kind and gracious. I would recommend this house to anyone that asked.

Relaxing Stay!

The house is well appointed and so clean! The view from the deck and the location are amazing. We were out on the river everyday fishing, swimming and kayaking. Overall, a really nice place to reconnect with family and relax.

River Gem

The Eagle’s Nest property is a hidden gem situated on the Susquehanna River. The home is immaculate and designed so well. The huge deck, the privacy and the view were major benefits for us. We loved every minute of our stay. Holly was a pleasure to deal with throughout our booking process and our short visit. Hope to revisit soon.

We loved our stay at the Eagles Nest. The property was even better in-person than in photos, and the layout was perfect for our two families. The kids loved the loft. The deck was the perfect place to relax and eat meals. Owner very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend!

Amazing Easter Vacation

This place is definitely a 5-star!!! We utilized this retreat as an Easter getaway with friends and family, plus our dogs! It's beautiful, well maintained and has everything you can think of! The river out front, the beautiful scenery, the swings, the deck, the fully stocked kitchen (with my favorite little cheese cutters), all the ammentities, the kayaks- everything! Fantastic getaway!!!

Lovely, quiet escape for friends!

This cottage is a beautiful place to escape with friends. We enjoyed quiet, excellent outdoor spaces and beautiful river views. We especially enjoyed the sunroom and back deck. The vintage design elements were lovely, too. A couple of things were not great: the water has a bad smell and there are a lot of steps. Regardless, we will definitely add this to our list of places to visit again.

The Eagles Nest was fabulous!!! We loved everything about our stay. We had a 70th birthday get together for my husband. The cabin was well stocked and very clean. It was easy to check in and Sarah answered all our questions. We will definitely be back!!! Loved seeing all the eagles.

Perfect and serene!

We travel each season to a different destination and always use VRBO, I can honestly say this is one of the best rentals we ever had the honor to visit, owners thought of everything to make our stay comfortable, serene, beautiful and we saw 5 eagles the first day there. We love to hike and enjoy nature and there are so many beautiful trails and parks to visit! I have a feeling we’ll be back again, and our pups loved it! Thank you!

Wonderful family getaway

Our time on the river was absolutely perfect. The kids had a blast fishing, kayaking, and spending evenings around the fire pit, creating memories that will last a lifetime. The house itself was ideal—so well-equipped and comfortable, it truly felt like a home away from home. We couldn’t have asked for anything more, and we’re already looking forward to returning!
