About this property

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.

Elk Mountain Lodge struck the ideal balance between "off-the-grid" serenity and modern comfort. Morning coffee on the deck with the panoramic views was definitely one of the highlights.

We had 11 adults in our party and the house was perfect for that. Enough space for alone time and family time. The home is about a 15 minute winding mountain road from civilization, which was perfect as a getaway.

Peaceful paradise

We get our small company together every year for a retreat and brainstorming. Hard to find anything more comfortable and peaceful than this property. Gorgeous views, and plenty of room to enjoy indoors and out. Super quiet but close enough to everything Asheville has to offer.

Annual Family gate-away

My family and I booked this beautiful cabin for our annual family gateway. The views this cabin has to offer are amazing and it was so spacious that my family of 16 could spread out easily. The property manager (Brandon) was extremely helpful in helping us secure the booking on very short notice. I would not hesitate to book again!

Good reunion of friends

The place was clean and easy to operate. The view was spectacular. The many decks provided a lot of options for interacting with friends. Navigating the steep driveway, and switch-back roads was challenging, but overall that was the only slight negative.
