About this cabin rental
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.

We had 11 adults in our party and the house was perfect for that. Enough space for alone time and family time. The home is about a 15 minute winding mountain road from civilization, which was perfect as a getaway.

We really enjoyed staying at this property. The house is beautiful, and the scenic views of the mountain were amazing. We had eight guests, slept comfortably, and enjoyed the hot tub and fabulous kitchen. Every person in our group raved about coming to stay again.

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.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jun 2024
This is a beautiful location with lots to do within 20 minutes of driving. The location was nice with a good view but the location has a few issues starting to show that this is used only as a $ making vacation rental for people who don’t actually use the property themselves.
-Deferred maintenance and safety issues: Lots of carpenter bees are drilling into the house, there are also plenty of holes for critters to get into, and there are flying squirrels in the attic.
The deck is showing its age and the banisters only have 1 nail (not screws?) holding them at the top and bottom. These could easily be pushed out by a child. There was even a banister missing on one side of the deck, which is not safe for little kids.
-There were other issues in the house that were quickly resolved (coffee maker stopped working and was replaced, spill in the hot tub was quickly cleaned) but there were other issues the property manager very rudely blamed us for (hot tub jet and screen issues) but were issues when we arrived (hot tub was set at 82 and the screen was frozen). And while the issues were resolved quickly, the house definitely shows the property manager does not make an effort to actually check the property very often.
Also, a weird conundrum - there is not a place to hang towels anywhere in the house. There is not a single hook in any bathroom or ring for hand towels.
Finally, something I felt was misleading- listing shows a fully stocked wood shed but no firewood is provided
