Graduation Celebration

This house was a welcome surprise in its style, space and amenities. My family enjoyed the ambiance of the home as well as the surrounding property and neighborhood. Elk Mountain View’s are amazing as well as the nearby lake. Very quiet and remote area yet there are places to shop for food as well as places to eat not far away.

Great cabin for a family ski weekend!!

This is our second year staying in this adorable cabin! Brian makes everything so easy, from booking to check-in to check-out. The house is always super clean when we arrive, kitchen has what you need to prepare some easy meals and everyone feels cozy after a snowy day of skiing. We love that it is less than 5 minutes to the slopes! Another great year at Elk!

Cute and Cozy Cabin

Great weekend in this cute cabin. Great location .. minutes to Elk and restaurants. Definitely will be back. House was clean and just so cozy!!! The only thing that would have made things easier would be to have the option of linens. House was clean and we had a great time!!! Very nice place to stay!!!

Amazing home!! 5 STaRs

This home exceeded our expectations! The accommodations were perfect for our group of two families with 5 teenagers (13-15 year olds). The home has everything you would need! Perfect rental for families who love to ski! Elk Mountain was a big hit with our crew. We also enjoyed the Speakeasy Saloon.

Perfect Stay

The owner of this house knows what it means to be a host. Everything from nightlights in the bathrooms to towel hooks galore, this place was the most well thought out VBRO I’ve ever stayed in. Three Bluetooth speakers around the house for music, beautifully appointed furniture and table for groups, and a pellet stove to dry off your ski gear. Finally, the cabin feel and cool decor made you feel like you’re right at home. Would 100% stay here again.

Ski Weekend With Friends

Stay over MLK weekend with a group of friends. This place is great. Had a warm log cabin feel with plenty of space for a big group, and very easy access to Elk Mountain resort. It was really great to be able to get off the ski hill, come back to house and cook dinner with friends in well stocked kitchen. Would definitely recommend. Thanks Brian!

Perfect family escape

We stayed for the fourth year in a row at this property - everything was the same as always. The property was very clean upon arrival. Kitchen is well equipped for all cooking (and a nice keurig for coffee!). Rooms have a quilt with pillows. Kids always love the bunk room and separate hangout space in the first floor. It’s one of our favorite family traditions to stay here and ski at Elk!

BE SURE TO CHECK AMENITY NOTES BEFORE BOOKING

5/10*** BE SURE TO CHECK THE AMENITY NOTES BEFORE BOOKING - Sheets/Towels/Cleaning Not Included ***This house is close to elk mountain and comfortably sized while being decently well-maintained (if poorly decorated). That said, guests are expected to clean this property (clearly no maid service) to obscene level specified in 3 pages of directions (not included: dumpster location, but the mops are provided so there’s that).

Response from VrboOwner on 13 Mar 2025
The lease and website clearly state you're responsible for towels, linens and cleaning. I further reiterated it in our communication prior to your stay. I would have offered my personal towels, and linens from my closet but you mentioned others in your party brought them. Pictures on the website show the interior and decor. To comment that its "poorly decorated, is contrary to other reviews but everyone has an opinion and different tastes.

Another great trip to our favorite Elk cabin!

Our 3rd annual trip to this cabin nestled right underneath Elk Mountain - and had a great time as always. The house was in great shape, ready for our arrival. The house contained all of the promised amenities. We enjoyed our walks to the lake, skiing and hanging out on the second floor. We had just shy of 4" of snow while we were there. My only wish was that the driveway had been plowed but the instructions sent noted the plow would only come for more than 4". We took shifts shoveling so wasn't a big deal. We'll be back!

My family and I enjoyed yourselves. The place was very clean and I would recommend other to stay. The host was not nice when I contact him for help. He was rude, but the place made up for it once I went in and seen how beautiful it was. It felt like home. The drive and the cost was worth it all.
