    We stepped into a beautiful new home with one of the best equipped kitchens we have come across.We were pleasantly surprised to wake up Saturday to 7 elk that stayed all day - until dark. They walked, slept and enjoyed the beautiful day. We drove, fished and golfed.Finding the Scottish Public House, about a 20 minute ride to Waynesville, was unique treat.Beautiful way to start retirement!

    We stayed here for an awesome ski weekend at Cataloochee. The home is fully stocked and insanely clean. The furnishings are beautiful and comfortable and there is plenty of space for everyone. There is tons of pantry space if you plan to bring your own food and ample cookware and dinnerware. The rocking chairs would be a great place to relax in warmer weather, and the fire pit area was beautiful. We greatly appreciated the guest gift and the supplies (paper towels, dish detergent, kitchen towels, trash bags, etc). We had plenty (plus some) for our long weekend. The instructions for check out were nicely posted making it very easy to ensure we followed the owner's requests. The location is great - beautiful views from all sides. There was a bull elk that hung out either behind the home or across the street all weekend and he was fun to watch. The neighborhood is quiet and very convenient to the ski area and Maggie Valley, with no hills and easy winter access. We received snow during our visit and plows/treatment kept the roads in great shape. If you are a runner or walker, it's a nice and safe area to venture out for some exercise. Bruce checked in with us to make sure that everything was okay and was available if we needed anything - but we had no problems at all. Great place all around - we even met a neighbor who was so kind and welcoming.

    We had a wonderful stay at Elk Haven! The cabin was new and beautiful! It had a beautiful wrap around porch with tockers that I would have enjoyed more if it wasn’t so windy and cold ghe days we were there. Truly easy access with plenty of space to park - not the tiny spaces at other lications. It was very convenient to Cataloochee ski resort, and my niece loved seeing the elk! Bruce continually stayed in touch with us and the complimentary water and snacks were perfect since I didn’t have time to run to the store. Thank you, Bruce!
