The cabin was lovely - beautiful design and plenty of room for our family of four. We had fun with the ping pong table and enjoyed the sauna too. Convenient to Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway. While there's privacy at the house itself, there's definitely more of a 'neighborhood' feel as you drive up to the house than we expected, with a few pretty run-down homes along the way. More road noise than expected as well- from the hilltop, you can hear the highway nearby, as well as I-40 traffic. Decor is comfortable but I'm not a fan of animal heads on walls and didn't notice that in one of the photos, so didn't love that when I arrived. Also there were several religious references in the decor/books left out- that might be a draw for some, but for us it felt heavy-handed. I also didn't realize that the home was being handled by a management company - Vacasa- so we ended up having to pay fees to VRBO and to Vacasa. I'm fairly certain it would be cheaper to book directly through Vacasa (and it looks like the nightly rate is lower on that site too), so would suggest checking that site first before booking here. The price we ended up paying was too high, in my opinion.

Cozy Cabin

We loved our stay at the cozy Elkhorn cabin. It had everything we needed! It was close to DT Asheville and the Blueridge Pkwy for hiking. The outdoor seating, the screened in porch was a total value add. We loved the little fireplace when it got chilly. Highly recommend.

Weekend getaway

Perfect spot for my husband and a few of our friends to get away for the weekend! Great location and central to everything we needed. With 6 of us we had the perfect amount of space in the house. The owners were very prompt in response and accommodating to make sure we had everything we needed.

Great location for Asheville

We had a good stay for the Fourth of July. The location provides very easy access to Blue Ridge Parkway, Asheville downtown and Biltmore area. Everything was less than 15 minutes drive, and super easy. The only thing to note is the cabin is very creaky - every step makes a creak, both top floor and main floor. Beds could probably use an update due to heavy divots. Otherwise, make time to enjoy the sauna - it's a wonderful experience!

Wonderful Getaway

This home was the perfect getaway - Beautiful window views and a cozy cabin all within 10 -15 minutes to everything in Asheville you would want to go and do. We were able to easily accomplish all we hoped for because this location was so convenient! We enjoyed sitting by the fireplace, and the screen porch/deck set up for the surprising 70 degree weather we had one New Years. A terrific visit. We look forward to visiting again!

Lovely Cozy Cabin

We enjoyed our weekend at the cabin! Checking in and out was easy, and everything we needed was provided. The walls are a bit thin and the beds are creaky, so it was difficult packing in 8 friends. This might not be an issue for a family rental though! Thank you for helping us celebrate our friend getting married!

Great place, complicated service

Beautiful cabin, very nice and high quality woods and appliances. Great location, right by the Blue Ridge Parkway and minutes from downtown Asheville. Near good hikes. It was very challenging to find the cabin. There are so many different roads with similar names that the navigation device could not quite get it and the service is not in North Carolina so they couldn't tell us really how to find it. Took about an hour to find. Then we had issues with the keypad. Took a long time to get a working code to get in and then the next day had to get an additional code. Final it got sorted. These things were frustrating but not deal breakers.

We enjoyed our week at this clean and comfortable cabin. It felt like we were staying in our own home as it was stocked with everything we might need: hangers, night stands where you want them, plenty of lamps, etc. The cabin was upscale and no detail was skimmed on. If we return to Asheville, we will book it again!
