About this property

We are excited to share our mountain cabin located on 50 acres of private land and situated on the beautiful Elk River. This cabin sleeps 7 people and is very cozy and relaxing. You will find all the amenities of modern home including a large smartTV and WiFi. And because you are surrounded by the Cherokee National Forest, your nearest neighbors will be the abundant wildlife that live in these scenic mountains. The Elk River is a great fishing location that has bass and rainbow and speckled trout.

During the summer months be sure to bring your swim suit and enjoy a refreshing dip in the water. Or bring your inflatable floats for a river float-down, or use our kayak and canoe and take full advantage of this large beautiful river. The riverside deck has a BBQ grill and is a great place to picnic. Or you can grill on an open fire at the large fire-ring - or you can just sit and relax to the soothing sound of the river with an evening drink. Trout fishing can be productive right at the river deck. This property is open all year and every season has its own special allure. During the early Summer the fireflies gather at night in this deep mountains location. Autumn brings the changing color of the trees. Local festivals are an attraction in East Tennessee. June boasts the annual Rhododendron Festival and in September the Elizabethon Covered Bridge Celebration is a special event. October is the “Country Thunder” at Bristol Speedway. Unicoi County Apple Festival as well as the Fall-O-Dendron festival in Roan Mountain are also in October. November is the Pinnacle Speedway in Lights event located in Bristol - all are fun things to see in the beautiful mountains of East Tennessee. And don’t forget that in Winter time the Beech Mountain Snow Ski Resort is only a 45 minute drive. Additionally, giant Watauga Lake is only a short drive away and offers scenic views as well as fishing, kayaking, sailing and pontoon boat rentals. The Appalachian Trail is also very close to this cabin, and the location where the AT trail crosses the huge Watauga Lake is something to see.

The property also borders the official boundaries of the Cherokee National Forest and offers a private and somewhat isolated retreat that you will not forget.

You will have the entire home to yourself and have private use of the 50 acres and the riverside deck, and all along the Elk River that boarders the property.

The Full Winter Experience

My family of 5 decided to take a quick winter trip to help my childhood friend move to Butler. We wanted to find a secluded cabin that was close to my friend’s property with things to do nearby. The cabin was perfect for our family of 5. It is tucked back on the Elk River with nothing but nature around you. We enjoyed exploring the property and all that the river has to offer. We had fires by the serene river, cooked out by the river, skipped rocks, and even did a little fishing. We stayed in January and experienced a winter storm with lots of snow and other fun variables that came with it. Being from Florida, the snow was a welcomed experience. From snowball fights and snow angles to power outages and blocked roads from fallen trees, we got THE FULL WINTER EXPERIENCE. The road main road leading to the cabin is paved. The cabin road was a little more rugged, but even with 4-6 inches of fresh snow on the ground we had no problems with my 4x4 truck. I would say the route to the cabin is manageable for most under normal conditions but recommend 4x4 or all wheel drive vehicles. For me, the drive to and from the cabin is a part of the mountain cabin experience. We arrived with the generator running, moved a small fallen tree from the road, and were not able to get back to the cabin on our last night due to another fallen tree, but this did not take away from our experience. The owner and property manager were prepared, accommodating and helpful. We will definitely be back.

About the host

Hosted by Chris Griffin

Wife and I are retired and happy to share our mountain vacation home situated right on the Elk River and located deep in the Cherokee National Forest.

Why they chose this property

This spot in the mountains is quite spectacular and is very private and secluded. You will be in the Appalachian Mountain Range so the change of seasons and the abundant wildlife are a real draw here.

What makes this property unique

The very large Watauga Lake is a 15 minute drive from the cabin and offers swimming, fishing, sailing, and pontoon boat rentals. The famous Appalachian Hiking Trail also crosses Watauga Lake at an earth-and-rock damn and this spot is something to see. Day hikes on the trail offer excellent views of the mountain ridges and valleys that surround Watauga Lake. The large Elk River that runs along the property is very special and is considered a excellent river due to its abundant rainbow trout. The cabin overlooks this river and is very private and exclusive and a great spot to try your fishing skills.
