About this property
Spacious home on pristine Pine Creek! Great for family get togethers!
This expansive residence is perfect for those who love the outdoors and can comfortably house up to 9 guests. The upper level features three bedrooms and a full bathroom. Downstairs, you'll find a great room with sliding glass doors that provide a view of the creek, complemented by a large-screen smart TV. Additionally, there's a wet bar, another full bathroom, a well-equipped kitchen, and a dining space that seats 12. Both streaming TV and Wi-Fi are provided, with another smart TV located in the bar area for convenient streaming.
The master bedroom is furnished with a queen-size bed. The second bedroom offers a queen-size bed alongside a twin bed, while the third bedroom has a full-size bed. The living room includes a full-size sofa bed.
The kitchen comes fully stocked with utensils, cookware, a coffee maker (both drip and Keurig), toaster, griddle, slow cooker, baking sheets, mixing bowls, and an assortment of spices.
For outdoor cooking, a gas grill is available on the deck, which also features two large picnic tables, a six-seater table within the gazebo, and another outdoor table with an umbrella that also seats six.
Fishing enthusiasts can look forward to the season starting in April, with the creek abundantly stocked with trout and numerous prime fishing spots nearby.
Pine Creek is ideal for rafting, canoeing, and kayaking in the spring and sometimes in the summer. Since water levels can fluctuate rapidly, it's advisable to check current conditions before embarking on water activities. Pine Creek Outfitters provides a useful website with links to river level data. Local area information can be found at pinecrk.com.
The summer is perfect for tubing down the creek, unwinding on the deck, enjoying campfires, playing horseshoes, and more.
The nearby PA Grand Canyon offers excellent hiking trails and stunning views. Cherry Springs State Park, known for its "Dark Sky" designation, is also close by, providing exceptional stargazing opportunities.
The Pine Creek Rail Trail is just a short distance away, offering scenic biking and walking paths.

The house had everything we needed & more. Beautiful outdoor space & plenty of indoor space for our group. Would love to come back again! The host was very responsive & helpful with questions.
We had a wonderful stay over four days that included perfect weather and perfect property. Check in was easy the host very communicative and property super clean. It sits right on the bank of the Pinecreek with the large yard and access to the creek for launching canoes and kayaks. The bedspace is somewhat limited for groups that don’t include couples. However, we were given the opportunity to pitch a couple tents for overflow. Shelley is a great host and we will definitely be coming back again.
What I liked: roomy downstairs with a large living room and a bar with proper glasses. Well equipped kitchen with high quality new appliances. Additional supply of blankets and towels. Quiet area with a large deck, top of the line BBQ and place to huddle down by the river.
On the downside, while a quiet neighborhood, you could hear the traffic noise from the road on the other side of the river. The interior, while comfortable was also dark with wood paneling throughout the downstairs area. The one thing I found odd was the third bedroom where the corner had a railing instead of a wall (like a Juliet balcony) with a curtain to ensure privacy. However, this does not block out noise. This may be fun with young children but we were all adults so that a little awkward.
Overall it's good place
We have been vacationing at Eagles Nest on the Big Pine for years & absolutely enjoy everything about our vacation!! Shelly is a wonderful host & always willing to accommodate.
This home is so charming - very clean and welcoming. It was in the perfect location and had the right amount of space for us, our niece and husband, and 3 grandnieces. What a great place to spend a week with the people you love spending time with!!!
the house was great, vary nice area, and the house had too much space for the 4 of us that went on our getaway but we loved every minute there. We would go back for sure.
We have had such a busy year and were so thankful to be able to spend a few days away in such a lovely home and area. We rode the rail trail on our bikes each day, took in the scenic overlooks around the PA Grand Canyon, waded in the stream (which was low due to the very dry summer), but we even enjoyed a good rain shower which brought the creek up several inches. Everything at the house was clean, lovely, in good working order and we lacked for nothing! Loved every moment of our stay. Thank you to our hosts for sharing this lovely, quiet spot!
(And if you stay, you must make reservations for dinner at the Log Cabin Inn just across the entrance road!! Excellent!!)
My family has vacationed at this property three times now. We absolutely love the location, the spaciousness of the home and outside space. The additions of a new oven, microwave, second small refrigerator, air conditioners in the bedrooms, and an additional grill since our last stay made it even more perfect. I'm looking forward to our next visit. Jan S.
Had another great week at the Eagles Nest. The home has pliantly of room to spread out & the deck is amazing! Really enjoyed the new fire pit. Already looking forward to next year.
We had a very enjoyable week staying at the Eagles Nest. There was plenty of room for everyone & the owners went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Already looking forward to our next visit.
We had a wonderful time at the Eagles Nest! Plenty of room to spread out - the perfect home away from home! Our kiddos (8 and 5) would have been perfectly content staying at the creek all day, just climbing on the rocks. Communication was great with the host. She gave several suggestions of what to do in the area. The PA Grand Canyon is a must... only if you want to leave the cozy house!
My family and I had an amazing time during our stay. Shelley's home is beautiful and the deck overlooking the creek is gorgeous !! We would love to plan another trip in the future !
This house was amazing! It had plenty of space. The kitchen featured a gas range (great for cooking), large refrigerator, and plenty of kitchen appliances and tools. This was important because we made all our meals there. It was great to be right across from the creek. You will definitely want to buy bottled water to drink. Also, there was a 3-4 hour power outage. You may want to have all the phone numbers, etc. written down and have a back-up plan (e.g., drive into town to call owner or power company) since there was no Verizon cell phone coverage. Would definitely return!
