With sweeping views and easy access to Great Smoky Mountains National Park (just 2 miles away), this authentic log cabin is a peaceful mountain getaway perfect for outdoor lovers and relaxation seekers alike.
Rustic Charm Meets Modern Comfort
Step into the warmth of the spacious great room with a stunning stone fireplace, or enjoy the cozy sleeping loft above. The cabin sleeps up to 8, with 3 bedrooms (1 King Sleep Number bed upstairs, 2 Queen beds on the main level) and a sleeping loft ideal for kids.

Unmatched Outdoor Access
Named for the nearby elk restoration area, Elk Point puts you right next to the scenic Cataloochee Trail—perfect for hiking, wildlife watching, and soaking up the natural beauty. Day trips to Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, Grandfather Mountain, Lake Lure, or Asheville’s Biltmore Estate are all within easy reach.

After a day of exploring, unwind in the private hot tub under the stars, enjoy s’mores at the fire pit, or grill up dinner on the charcoal BBQ. Two covered decks are perfect for your morning coffee and mountain views. High-speed WiFi (installed June 2025) ensures you stay connected—if you want to.
