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.

The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 6 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed. Housekeeping is available on request.

The house was beautiful, clean, well stocked, and fit our needs perfectly. The owner was very communicative and accommodating of our last-minute early check-in request when the airline moved our flight up. The only reason for 4 stars is that the grill and picnic table in the porch were in disrepair and unusable, but they could be easily replaced.

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.

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.

Enjoyed our stay

We were a group of 7, traveling from Maine to California, celebrating 50 years of friendship. We came to Asheville to try to support the community after the devastation of Helene. Our stay was wonderful. The house accommodated our needs. It had everything we needed. The views were wonderful. The owners and property manager were extremely responsive. Needed to navigate the turn-off to the property carefully, but we got used to it. All in all, highly recommended.

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.

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.
