About this cabin rental
Escape to Your Private Mountain Retreat
Unwind at Elks Crossing at Whiskey Ridge, a peaceful mountain lodge designed for relaxation, connection, and unforgettable views. Perched at nearly 5,000 feet in the Great Smoky Mountains, this spacious retreat offers breathtaking panoramic vistas and the perfect balance of serenity and adventure.
The Space
Comfortably accommodating up to 10 guests, the lodge is thoughtfully designed across two levels:
Main Level:
Spacious primary suite with ensuite bathroom and French doors opening to a wrap-around deck
-Wake up to stunning sunrises right from your bed
-Second guest bedroom and full bathroom
-Fully equipped kitchen, dining area, and cozy family room with fireplace
-Expansive windows throughout, bringing the mountain views indoors
Lower Level:
-Large game room with pool table, bar, and game table
-Additional lounge area with TV and a sleeper sofa
-Bunk room sleeping up to 6 with custom bunk configurations
-Full bathroom and fully equipped laundry room
-Direct access to the lower deck
Outdoor Living
Enjoy two expansive decks designed for both relaxation and fun:
-Wrap-around main deck: perfect for morning coffee, reading, or simply soaking in the views
-Lower deck: ideal for games like cornhole, ladder toss, and ring toss, with plenty of seating
Grill out on the charcoal grill just steps from the kitchen, then gather around the firepit under a sky full of stars—perfect for s’mores and unforgettable evenings.
Wildlife & Surroundings
True to its name, elk are frequent visitors to the area. You may spot them grazing in the meadow or wandering nearby—an incredible experience right from the property. Please remember to observe wildlife from a safe distance.
The property also features scenic trails, offering even more opportunities to explore the natural beauty of the mountains.

-14 miles to Cherokee (Harrah’s Casino)
-22 miles to Bryson City (Great Smoky Mountains Railroad)
-28 miles to Asheville (home of the Biltmore Estate)
-70 miles to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg
ATV enthusiasts will love the nearby trail access—bring your own or rent locally and explore the terrain.

-AWD or 4WD is strongly recommended
-The first portion of the drive is steep and bumpy but becomes more gradual
-Ample parking available for multiple vehicles

The incredible views at the top are well worth the climb.

Very welcoming, we loved everything about this trip. House was clean, the kitchen had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable. The showers were great.

We’ve stayed in this location several times. Up grades to the bathrooms were wonderful. Property owners are wonderful to deal with. Cabin is always clean and well equipped. Hope to return next year.
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
This is the second time we have stayed at this property. The home is beautiful, and all bathrooms have been wonderfully remodeled since our last visit. The road up is still not for the faint of heart, but once there....the views compensate for it. I set the clock each day just to see the sunrise from the deck I miss the hummingbird feeders that used to be on the deck. We hit the fall foliage perfectly. Owners were responsive and easy to deal with.

The house was the prettiest house we have stayed in. We have been going to the mountains for 45 years and it was the best! You really do need 4 wheel drive like you advertised. Just wanted you to know the dishwasher leaks on the right hand side bottom. Also the bottom deck needs a good cleaning. These things didn’t bother us, we had a blast. You supplied everything we could possibly need. Thanks for a good time.
