The cabin was absolutely beautiful and in a peaceful location. We loved the small details and a cozy spot for just us or the ability to socialize with the other cabin dwellers. Each cabin had a theme which was really cute. I will definitely be coming back and bringing the rest of the family.

A great little cottage!

This little cottage was exactly what we wanted. It was very clean, decorated so cute, and stocked with anything we needed. It is close to DuPont and Pisgah National Parks, local produce markets, Brevard, and Hendersonville. We had the privilege of briefly visiting with the owner, Gina, who was so pleasant and wanted to make sure our stay was an enjoyable one. It is a place I would stay again.

Owl cabin Bryson city

Cabin was very clean, quiet and comfortable with everything we needed for the weekend stay. Great location to Bryson and Cherokee. Only suggestion would be that the grounds needed some attention, mowing, trimming and weeding. Thx

We love these cabins

This is the 2nd time we have stayed at Ela Shores cabins...they are perfect for our needs and the location is great. My only suggestion is that the shrubs and bushes throughout the property are desperately in need of being trummed. Otherwise it is a lovely property.

Nice stay

The property was as described. We enjoyed our stay. It was clean, but the living rug definitely needs to be replaced and the kitchen sink had food and debris from last stay. We probably wouldn’t stay again, but it was ok. I am just really big in cleanliness.
