Great cabin
The cabin was clean and just as described. Having the three levels gave us all some individual space and the covered porch’s are fantastic!

Fantastic Views
Great cabin, great host. Plenty of room for ten people (adult siblings and families, ages 10-53) to not be in each other's way. We spent a lot of time just hanging out on the screened in balcony, just taking in the view of the mountains. We even got to see deer walking around while we were having breakfast outside. Please note that the road to the cabin is steep, like 15 degrees steep. Make sure that you have four-wheel drive, or use your low gear. Otherwise, the cabin is everything from the listing and more. If you're looking for a peaceful getaway, this place is perfect! We would absolutely book this cabin if we vacation in Gatlinburg / Pigeon Forge again. Thanks!

Great place for our group!
We planned a long weekend trip with 3 families and it was such a great place to stay! It was better than we even expected! The kids had their own space downstairs which allowed the adults to have some quiet time. Lots of TVs and games. The kitchen was stocked well. The bathrooms are nice and updated. We absolutely loved sitting on the back decks and enjoying the view with our coffee each morning. Only about 10 minutes to the main strip so it was easy to get around. The last mile to the cabin is a little steep but very manageable (my flat land friends were a little hesitant)
Overall we had a wonderful stay and would come here again!

Finally, a family get together!
We were finally able to get a time and a place for us, our daughters, and our grandkids to stay together for a few days. The Big Elk Lodge was the perfect place. Newly renovated, the beautiful view from the side of the mountain, the screened in porch with ample seating , smart tvs in almost every room, ample kitchen and eating areas, HVAC control on two floors, five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and parking for four cars make this a destination lodge for your group.
We do suggest you bring your personal cutlery and your super large frying pan. Knowing this, my picky crew would go back in a second.
