Welcome to Elk Meadow Lodge! This spacious home with stunning views is a little piece of Great Smoky Mountain’s heaven.

Set on 4 tranquil acres with a hot tub, WiFi, covered porch, game room, and fire pit, this incredible cabin is your ultimate mountain escape.

With easy year round access, this home is perfect for families or groups of friends to gather and make memories any time of year.

Close to area attractions, and surrounded by serene views, you’ll fallin love with this amazing cabin.

Elk Meadow Lodge is a wonderful place for friends and family to come together and enjoy everything the mountains have to offer.

Pull up a rocking chair on the expansive covered porch and enjoy the views, no matter the weather. Relax in the hot tub after a day of hiking or skiing, and breathe the cool mountain air. Gather with friends and family and roast marshmallows or enjoy a glass of wine around the fire pit.

Conveniently located in Waynesville, the Elk Meadow Lodge is less than 10 miles from the Cataloochee Ski Resort, a short drive to see all the amazing wildlife at Cataloochee Valley, and just minutes to historic Waynesville with all its shopping and restaurants. The entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway, Cherokee, Harrah’s Casino, and the Biltmore Estate are all less than an hour away.

When you first arrive at the
cabin, you’ll find plenty of parking to accommodate large groups with many vehicles. As you travel through
the front door, you’ll find a wonderful open floor plan. The living, kitchen, and dining areas flow together to invite conversation and relaxing time together. The living room also offers a gas log fireplace to relax in front of, and the newly remodeled kitchen has
everything you will need for
cooking and dining. An additional seating area just off the dining room is filled with
natural light and a great place for a game of cards or to cozy up with a good book.

From the living room, you can also step out onto the amazing covered porch and take in the stunning views. There is also a propane grill out here that are guests are welcome to use for cookouts. Just off the porch is the fire pit area and amazing yard to watch wildlife stroll by and for dogs and kids to play.

This main floor also has a wonderful master bedroom with a queen size bed and attached full bath. There is also another adorable bedroom, great for kids, with two twin trundles. The laundry room and powder room on this floor completes the area with everything our guests need for their comfort and convenience.

Travel upstairs and you will find 3 more comfortable bedrooms with full size beds. One bedroom has a desk and chair and is a perfect spot for anyone that may need to work remotely. There is also an additional full bath on this floor as well.

Back on the main floor, you can take a flight of stairs down to an awesome game
room that boasts a ping pong table, indoor basketball shooting, arcade game, plenty of seating, and a wet bar. There is also a sofa bed in this area and our guests can also access the hot tub and another covered patio from this room.

    The views are beautiful and the hot tub was clean and comfortable. There were a few maintenance and cleanliness issues that leave room for improvement. Overall a good place with a nice view.

    This property location is gorgeous! It was a stunning backdrop for our daughter's wedding. Even in the pouring rain. There were some issues with cleanliness/maintenance that were addressed with the owners. Overall, this home is wonderful for large families and gatherings. Well stocked kitchen & the game room was a huge hit! We would definitely rent again! Owners were very fast to reply and accommodating when we needed to check in early. Just a note in case you're needing for party/gathering. There was a 250 event fee that was tacked on that I didn't notice in the description.

    The house is very well laid out. Game room downstairs allows guests to have separate activities going on at the same time. Host was very responsive to requests, and checked in after the first night to see if there were any needs. The view from the porch is amazing , and we enjoyed the visits from neighboring horses. Highly recommend.

    I rented this property for a beautiful quiet place to hold a wedding for my brother. We had 12 people stay at the house and a total of 23 people for the wedding. At no time did it feel crowded. The house was beautiful and covered all of our needs. My family had a wonderful experience there and would definitely wanna stay here again for a family gathering! I would recommend staying here to anyone! We all loved it!

    This home provided the dream wedding for our daughter and new son-in-law! We spend a lot of time on the large wraparound porch just admiring the view!

    Our trip to North Carolina was amazing. We were there for a wedding but can see ourselves coming back just to stay at this property! The house is huge and great for multiple families. We had plenty of room. The ping pong table and basketball game kept the teens busy and engaged. The view was beautiful. The time spent at the house was very relaxing and enjoyable. We hope to be back!
