The cabin is cozy, comfortable and well stocked with all the comforts of home. The location is right off the main strip of restaurants and stores. It's quiet and peaceful listening to the nearby creek. We saw elk twice in the yard.

Hi Martin! Thank you for booking Elk Ridge Cabin! Glad you enjoyed your stay! I was wondering if you meant to leave a 1-star review or if that was done by accident? Please let me know if you had any trouble with your stay so I can make sure to fix it. :) Hope to see you guys again! Thank you kindly, Nikki

Besides being a great location from which to explore the Smoky Mountains, enjoy tubing and hiking, listen to Blue grass, and still be close to excellent restaurants (You must have breakfast at Joey's pancake house.), this small cabin is a perfect retreat, being cozy, comfortable, and a joy to be in when we sat through a ground-shaking thunderstorm. Little things, like a wonderful coffee pot, a basket full of snacks, a comfortable bed, a shower that felt like one was in a spa, and soft lighting illuminated the very appropriate decor, mostly of black bears and elk, animals that we did not see during our two weeks stay in the Smokies! Bad timing, I guess.

We very much enjoyed the cabin, spacious outdoor space, decor, being surrounded by beautiful flowers, trees, the creek across the street.The two upstairs beds were comfy with nice windows with plenty of light.Today we saw a cow leading the way down the street with several elk parading down the street as they are making way for the rain to start.The shower has plenty of pressure. Thanks for an awesome stay at Elk Cabin.Cindy and Mark- Raleigh
