Elk Mountain Lodge: An AVL Mountain Escape w/Hot Tub, Fireplace, Hi-Speed Wifi

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.

Best Cabin Retreat
13 of us stayed for my sisters bachelorette party and had the best time! The bedrooms are very spacious and we loved the outdoor decks! As other reviews mentioned the drive way is intimidating but was easy to get the hang of. We loved being in a more secluded area and able to get down to town within 20 minutes for dinner. Would absolutely recommend any large groups staying here.

Amazing spot for large groups!
I planned a bachelorette to stay at this property. It was the perfect spot for a lot of girls! Tons of space to spread out and good bathroom space as well. The host and property manager were super responsive and even dropped by to fix a few small issues we had. The only downside to the property is the steep driveway/curvy roads to get there (but should be expected if staying in the mountains).

A Stay over Thanksgiving weekend
My 3 siblings and I took my mother here for her 80th birthday over Thanksgiving weekend. She had a blast! We had all the amenities to have a thanksgiving meal and enjoy family. The Biltmore is a short drive away. The Blue Ridge parkway is pretty much out the front door. I'm definitely recommending this VRBO to my friends.

Lovely home - perfect weekend
We really enjoyed our stay. House was very nice lots of space for 4 couples. We even had an unexpected bear visitor who came down the driveway and went around the house and down the hill. We really enjoyed the fire pit on the deck we spent most of our time just hanging out there the weather was perfect.

Mountain Lodge
Our family gathered here for a wedding. The lodge was very clean and spacious and everyone had their own room and bed. We were fogged in for 2 days so getting up and down the mountain on the twisty roads was a challenge. We even saw 5 bears crossing the road as we were leaving!

An excellent weekend escape!
Elk Mountain Lodge has an absolutely beautiful location and was super clean and well-stocked. The hot tub was fantastic and there was plenty of space for our group of 11 to hang out and also have our own space. The driveway is steep and you're pretty far into the mountains, but we had no problems getting food delivered and making it into Downtown Asheville (Carlos and Teresa had great recommendations). Highly recommend this property!
