Loved the cabin! Great for a get away to enjoy all the area offers. The heater in the bathroom is a really nice touch for cold mornings. Timed it twice, and it’s 11 minutes door to door from the casino. Nothing negative to say.
This is the 4th time we have stayed at Ela Shores...each time in a different cabin. This was the first time we were able to see two elk right outside our cabin and what a treat it was! Cabins are in a great location...right between Cherokee and Bryson City. Clean, cute, had pretty much everything we needed for our stay.

Beautiful surroundings and great memories made!
Cabin was clean and had everything we needed.
The cabin was just want we needed for our stay. It was only about 5 minute to the Bryson city event park.

We have stayed at one of the cabins on 3 different occasions and each time was great. The one downside is they have removed the washer and dryers from the cabins which is real unfortunate. There were some dirty towels left in our unit but it won't keep us away. We love the area.

The cabin was as expected, clean and well stocked with supplies. The guest host and her staff are friendly and very accommodating. The area offers various things to do. The Great Smoky Mountain Railroad is close by as are several excellent golf courses. You might even have elk come visit you. We will be back to stay again, great cabins!!
This was exactly as described on website . Our contact, Jennifer , was easy to email and promptly answered all questions. Cabin was clean and close to all activities of interest for our family. Everyone loved it!!

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
It was very beautiful, loved the fire pit option. The only reason I gave a 4 instead of 5 is because the wall hvac was not big/strong enough to warm the room appropriately for small children through the night. We stayed when it was 20 degrees at night and could not seem to get the room greater than 65 degrees. Other than that- it was a wonderful stay!
I did not get proper info for check in. But when i arrived i called the phone number and they sent me all of the info in a text.
I do believe this was VRBO's problem not the property

Simply Amazing
We were in Bryson City, North Carolina to go on the Polar Express for the very first time. When we got to the cabin it was so beautiful inside and I noticed it was very clean. To me it had a slight cigarette smell, but I just got a wall scent and I didn’t notice it at all after that. That small thing will not stop me from coming back. The space in the cabin was so spacious and cozy. The bed was so comfortable I slept like a baby the two nights we stayed. The cabin is conveniently located close to the downtown area, and right across to a Dollar General store. My favorite part was seeing all the stars outside our cabin, it really was magical. I can’t wait to visit again!!
