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.

    We had 11 adults in our party and the house was perfect for that. Enough space for alone time and family time. The home is about a 15 minute winding mountain road from civilization, which was perfect as a getaway.

    We really enjoyed staying at this property. The house is beautiful, and the scenic views of the mountain were amazing. We had eight guests, slept comfortably, and enjoyed the hot tub and fabulous kitchen. Every person in our group raved about coming to stay again.

    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. The property manager (Brandon) was extremely helpful in helping us secure the booking on very short notice. I would not hesitate to book again!

    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.

    We were a group of 7, traveling from Maine to California, celebrating 50 years of friendship. We came to Asheville to try to support the community after the devastation of Helene. Our stay was wonderful. The house accommodated our needs. It had everything we needed. The views were wonderful. The owners and property manager were extremely responsive. Needed to navigate the turn-off to the property carefully, but we got used to it. All in all, highly recommended.

    Nine women stayed in this beautiful property. We were floored by by the damage all around it but so grateful the house made it through. The driveway is a bit daunting but the views are totally worth it. We had a few minor issues during our stay but the property management company was super responsive and we had a marvelous stay!

    My family stayed here for Spring Break. This house is beautiful. Its up in the hills with a gorgeous view and very quiet surroundings. Perfect for what we wanted. It has 3 levels - plenty of room for everyone to stretch out and have their own space. It was clean and had most everything we needed. We were only about 20 minutes from downtown. My one caveat - it certainly will not affect everyone, but something to be aware of if you have motion sickness- the last about 15 minutes of the road to get to the house has LOTS of twists and turns - including some 180 degree switchbacks. We just took dramamine everyday before we left the house as a precaution. No one got sick, but its definitely something to be aware of if you struggle with it.

    We loved this house and it had a lot of the things we needed. The decks were beautiful and there was lots of space. Everything was great until we ran out of water while trying to get 13 people ready for family pictures. We didn’t have water to make dinner or bathe the last evening we were there. The host worked with us and we had water to eat breakfast this morning, but imagine the panic…everything else nice

    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!

    We rented the house for a 20 year reunion and it was perfect. It was peacefully tucked away but amenities in Asheville were easily accessible. Ample space for 10 adults and well appointed bedrooms & kitchen. We’d definitely stay there again!
