When you step into this home, you will feel the stress of life fall away. There is something about River Life that just slows things down. You will Relax, Renew and make Memories! Be sure to bring your fishing gear. 2 Kayaks and 2 life jackets will be provided. You can bring your canoes.
No matter which season you choose, there will always be some sort of wildlife for your enjoyment. In the spring you may see families of geese with their new little ones, and if you are lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of wood ducks with their babies. These are more difficult to see because they are much more skittish. Be sure to bring your Binoculars!!!
In the summer the river comes alive with bait fish schooling and bass chasing them. Bring your Fishing Gear!!!
The white egrets will be seen along with blue herons. Since you’re staying across from Bald Eagle Holler, you may see eagles!! Google the Call the eagles make, and this will help you identify them. The young eagles will not have a white head and are more difficult to identify.
In the fall the bluffs will be showing off their beautiful colors! We have resident geese that stay all winter, maybe they prefer our company instead of the Cold North
In the late fall and early winter, flocks of American white pelicans arrive. These are the second largest bird in the U.S. As they fly over the water they look like a string of pearls. You may even hear the loud rushing sound as they corral a large school of bait fish and watch the feeding frenzy begin. These pelicans are not vocal so they sound you will hear are their wings. It’s really amazing!
No matter the time of your visit, we hope you will experience the sights and the joy of living on the Elk River!
Fully Stock Kitchen
Sprawling Backyard
2 Kayaks with Life Jackets and Paddles
Screened in Porch great for Morning coffee and late night winding down from the day on the water.
In September TVA begins lowering the water in Wheeler Lake which affects our water levels until Spring. There is a Boat ramp about 2 miles from the house and the channel will take you to Wheeler Lake. .

    My family and I stayed at Elk River while our home was being repaired. We stayed there for over a month, which was actually during the holidays. I must say that this was the best home away from home that we could have ever imagined. The home was beautiful inside and out. It was very spacious and cozy. It was clean and provided such a welcoming atmosphere from the moment we walked in until the day we left. The host provided very detailed instructions for everything we needed during our stay and she even provided restaurant suggestions for the area. The neighorhood was quiet and the view of the river from the screened in patio every morning was absolutely breath taking. The kitchen and the bathrooms were fully stocked with everything that we needed. The host was very attentive and responded immediately whenever I had a question. I could not have asked for a better home or host. I would definitely recommend this home for an extended stay or just a weekend getaway!!!

    Perfection! Everything you could need for a week away. Neighborhood was great. Loved the backyard. Great kitchen. Beds were good. Had a wonderful time and will be staying again next time we visit our family again. Perk for us was its central location to all the family we were visiting. Would not change a thing. Much better than staying in a hotel.

    This property is absolutely beautiful! The home is perfection from everything I needed in a kitchen to being spotless. After long days of junior golf tournaments it was so nice to come home to a beautiful, quiet, peaceful property with stunning river views. We can’t wait to come back. We have traveled the country for tournaments and this home had everything. It is truly perfect. The host was so kind and helpful no matter my question! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

    If you like hustle and bustle, loud traffic and obnoxious neighbors this is NOT the place for you. This place is super quiet (except for birds chirping) very clean and neat, spacious bedrooms and living/ family room. Perfect for a little get away or a place to collect your thought 10 of of 10

    Visiting for best friends funeral with my sister and another good friend. The owners have been over the top accommodating! Very quick to respond with questions and recommendations. It is out of the way, a little drive, but absolutely worth it! The property has nice views of the river and all the wildlife! We will definitely be returning next time we are in the area!

    Great experience. House was beautiful and everything we needed. We had children ages 5, 10 and 12. Plenty of space out back to burn energy off. Amenities inside the house were great. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook. Highly recommend this to anyone wanting to be outside of town, quiet relaxing area with family.

    The home was beautiful. It was the perfect size for our family. It was a little far from town and unfortunately the river was dried up so we were not able to fish. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was a great size to cook in. The living room was very large and could use some more seating maybe a love seat or a sectional.
