Elk Mountain Lodge: An AVL Mountain Escape w/Hot Tub, Fireplace, Hi-Speed Wifi

Winding up to Elk Mountain Lodge is an experience in it of itself. Just a little over a mile from the Blue Ridge Parkway, the views getting to this beautiful log cabin are breathtaking. At 3,500 foot elevation, the cabin is nestled among very tall, beautiful hard woods and is a certified National Wildlife Habitat.

Upon entering, this real log home will captivate you with its soaring ceilings, stone gas fireplace, and the warmth of wood throughout. The open floor plan of the kitchen, dining area, and great room allows everyone to gather and spend time together. Three living levels also provides the opportunity to go off and find a quiet corner if need be, or grab someone for a round of billiards or Arcade-style PAC Man located in the lower level game room.

Expansive wooden decks run the entire length of the home, and take in the panoramic, long range mountain views that will enchant you during your entire stay. Elk Mountain Lodge affords you a chance to relax and recharge in the hot tub among the mountain laurels or spend the day out to enjoy all the surrounding areas have to offer.

Being minutes away from America's favorite scenic highway, the Blue Ridge Parkway, allows you to enjoy spectacular views from overlooks such as Glassmine Falls (Milepost 361.2) or experience local Appalachian craftsmanship at the Folk Art Center (Milepost 382). Biking, hiking, white water rafting, rock climbing, water falls, and zip lining are all available within close proximity to the cabin. If you are interested in experiencing first-rate restaurants, breweries, galleries, shops, spas, and entertainment, downtown Asheville is the place to go.

This private log cabin is 25 minutes from Downtown Asheville, 35 minutes from the Asheville Regional Airport, 30 minutes from the Biltmore Estate, 25 minutes to Craggy Gardens (Milepost 364.4), and 40 minutes away from Mount Mitchell (Milepost 355.4), highest point east of the Mississippi at 6,685 foot elevation.

Elk Mountain Lodge does have a paved but somewhat steep driveway, very common for mountainside homes. In the snowy winter months, four-wheel drive is recommended.

For larger families and groups, the neighboring property, Dancing Bear Den, is also available on vrbo.com listing 2400642.

During your stay at this cabin, you'll be close to Harrah's Cherokee Center - Asheville. A hot tub, concierge services, and laundry facilities are available. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the cabin.
  • Air-conditioned cabin with kitchen, washing machine, and 3.5 bathrooms

Perfect location for a retreat

Nine women stayed in this beautiful property. We were floored by by the damage all around it but so grateful the house made it through. The driveway is a bit daunting but the views are totally worth it. We had a few minor issues during our stay but the property management company was super responsive and we had a marvelous stay!

Beautiful home in the hills

My family stayed here for Spring Break. This house is beautiful. Its up in the hills with a gorgeous view and very quiet surroundings. Perfect for what we wanted. It has 3 levels - plenty of room for everyone to stretch out and have their own space. It was clean and had most everything we needed. We were only about 20 minutes from downtown. My one caveat - it certainly will not affect everyone, but something to be aware of if you have motion sickness- the last about 15 minutes of the road to get to the house has LOTS of twists and turns - including some 180 degree switchbacks. We just took dramamine everyday before we left the house as a precaution. No one got sick, but its definitely something to be aware of if you struggle with it.

Great…..except

We loved this house and it had a lot of the things we needed. The decks were beautiful and there was lots of space. Everything was great until we ran out of water while trying to get 13 people ready for family pictures. We didn’t have water to make dinner or bathe the last evening we were there. The host worked with us and we had water to eat breakfast this morning, but imagine the panic…everything else nice

Family Vacation

Lovely location in a beautifully nested home. Lots of room to spread out for our adult family. We had such a great time on the deck and in the spa. We liked that it was away from the busyness of town but we could be easily get to hikes, shopping and restaurants if we wanted. Can't imagine the view when the leaves change!

Perfect getaway

We rented the house for a 20 year reunion and it was perfect. It was peacefully tucked away but amenities in Asheville were easily accessible. Ample space for 10 adults and well appointed bedrooms & kitchen. We’d definitely stay there again!

Wonderful stay but there are some cracks in the facade

This is a beautiful location with lots to do within 20 minutes of driving. The location was nice with a good view but the location has a few issues starting to show that this is used only as a $ making vacation rental for people who don’t actually use the property themselves. -Deferred maintenance and safety issues: Lots of carpenter bees are drilling into the house, there are also plenty of holes for critters to get into, and there are flying squirrels in the attic. The deck is showing its age and the banisters only have 1 nail (not screws?) holding them at the top and bottom. These could easily be pushed out by a child. There was even a banister missing on one side of the deck, which is not safe for little kids. -There were other issues in the house that were quickly resolved (coffee maker stopped working and was replaced, spill in the hot tub was quickly cleaned) but there were other issues the property manager very rudely blamed us for (hot tub jet and screen issues) but were issues when we arrived (hot tub was set at 82 and the screen was frozen). And while the issues were resolved quickly, the house definitely shows the property manager does not make an effort to actually check the property very often. Also, a weird conundrum - there is not a place to hang towels anywhere in the house. There is not a single hook in any bathroom or ring for hand towels. Finally, something I felt was misleading- listing shows a fully stocked wood shed but no firewood is provided

Best Cabin Retreat

13 of us stayed for my sisters bachelorette party and had the best time! The bedrooms are very spacious and we loved the outdoor decks! As other reviews mentioned the drive way is intimidating but was easy to get the hang of. We loved being in a more secluded area and able to get down to town within 20 minutes for dinner. Would absolutely recommend any large groups staying here.

Amazing lodge with fantastic view

This place was beyond words! Very accomodating rooms for large group. House was very clean, kitchen very organized with everything you need to cook, and the amenities included a hot tub and a game room. Nice touch from host of wine and coffee. Con was the drive down to the property, which is steep. Also, one bedroom is without a door that is near the kitchen. If you're in the breakfast room chatting or watching tv in family room this room can hear it all. Otherwise this place is awesome!

70th birthday celebration with siblings

The lodge was a lovely space to for 5 couples.More than enough room, beautiful view and well stocked. All we needed to bring was food and drink. But beware the last mile! Winding mountain road often without guard rails, and the last turn into the driveway is essentially blind and steep. Would highly recommend arriving in the day. Otherwise a perfect stay.

Amazing spot for large groups!

I planned a bachelorette to stay at this property. It was the perfect spot for a lot of girls! Tons of space to spread out and good bathroom space as well. The host and property manager were super responsive and even dropped by to fix a few small issues we had. The only downside to the property is the steep driveway/curvy roads to get there (but should be expected if staying in the mountains).

Wonderful weekend in the mountains!

This cabin was the ideal retreat for my 40th bday weekend girls mountain trip. The cabin was clean and well appointed. We cooked most of our meals at home at the kitchen was well stocked both with cookware and the basic pantry items. The view from the deck was beautiful and the hot tub was really higher end model. This home is particularly good for a group of adults and there is no obvious "kids room" with no beds smaller than queens. We enjoyed the proximity to downtown Asheville while still feeling like a remote mountain retreat. Owners were responsive leading up to the trip and allowed us to pay a small fee for an early check-in. I would highly recommend a stay in this cabin!

Elk Mountain Lodge

My family and I wanted to be in a cabin for the Christmas holidays and boy were we surprised. It was absolutely beautiful. We had a great Christmas, the views were amazing and the Mountain View was breathtaking. The communication from the hosts was timely and specific to my families needs. I will definitely be recommending this cabin to other family and friends. The only thing I would say is the driveway is very steep and if visiting from another state and not familiar with the mountains be careful. Overall we had a wonderful time and a great family vacation.
