About this property

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.

Family Vacation

Lovely location in a beautifully nested home. Lots of room to spread out for our adult family. We had such a great time on the deck and in the spa. We liked that it was away from the busyness of town but we could be easily get to hikes, shopping and restaurants if we wanted. Can't imagine the view when the leaves change!

A Stay over Thanksgiving weekend

My 3 siblings and I took my mother here for her 80th birthday over Thanksgiving weekend. She had a blast! We had all the amenities to have a thanksgiving meal and enjoy family. The Biltmore is a short drive away. The Blue Ridge parkway is pretty much out the front door. I'm definitely recommending this VRBO to my friends.

Fantastic house and amenities

Really enjoyed our time. The owners are very easy to work with and seemed to genuinely care that we enjoy our stay. They were accommodating and pleasant to work with. The property is fantastic. The views are incredible and there is a ton of room for a very large group of people. The hot tub is outstanding. Would come back to this property in a heartbeat.

Mountain Getaway

We had a wonderful stay! The house was the perfect set up for 3 families. We enjoyed the fire pit, hot tub, downstairs game room and beautiful views. The house felt very secluded up in the mountains but was close enough to Asheville to be able to enjoy the city. Teresa was fabulous with communication and helped us with all our needs! Big thanks to the property management company as well!

Incredible mountain experience

Wow - this home was more beautiful than ever imagined. It was a perfect getaway for my mom, sisters, niece and I to enjoy a girls trip in the mountains for my mom's 80th. We brought extra supplies not knowing exactly what would be there, but it was fully stocked with everything needed. So much space, beautifully decorated, and incredible views. We even saw a baby bear in the driveway. I would go back in a heartbeat and miss it already!

Beautiful home with an amazing view.

The house is stunning - plenty of space to enjoy with a big family or friends, but also enough room to have privacy when needed. The hot tub and deck with the STUNNING views were the highlight of the trip. Everything was clean and cozy and had plenty of essentials to allow us to cook dinner and stay there comfortably without having to buy too much extra stuff. Since it’s in the mountains, it’s a winding road to get there so just be prepared if people get car sick! But it’s close enough to downtown to get Ubers and not be stranded. I would highly recommend it!

Wonderful weekend in the mountains!

This cabin was the ideal retreat for my 40th bday weekend girls mountain trip. The cabin was clean and well appointed. We cooked most of our meals at home at the kitchen was well stocked both with cookware and the basic pantry items. The view from the deck was beautiful and the hot tub was really higher end model. This home is particularly good for a group of adults and there is no obvious "kids room" with no beds smaller than queens. We enjoyed the proximity to downtown Asheville while still feeling like a remote mountain retreat. Owners were responsive leading up to the trip and allowed us to pay a small fee for an early check-in. I would highly recommend a stay in this cabin!

Excellent spot for girls trip

Our group of women enjoyed an annual trip to this house and we had a wonderful time! Excellent view of the mountains, big couch for all to hang out on and big spacious bedrooms, wonderful porch and hot tub. The kitchen was well suited and the gas fireplace was lovely all weekend. I would recommend bringing a Roku/fire stick to stream any services you want. It’s quite a curvy drive to the cabin from town so if you get car sick heads up. The driveway is steep but after doing it once we were all very comfortable with it. Super fast response from owners as well made us feel comfortable during our stay. Very nice decor and comfortable bed made for a lovely relaxing weekend, thank you!!

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.

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.

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.
