We LOVED Elk Manor. The cabin is so cozy, and the surroundings are amazing - being right on the river was beautiful and peaceful. Also a short drive to town and some great hikes and fishing spots.
The host stayed in constant communication. There was a strong little squall of winds that came through while we were there and knocked out power a couple of times. The host stayed in contact. Beautiful cabin and location, right on the water. If ever back in this area, we would stay again. This is a perfect cabin for a group wanting to do a little fly fishing! The pictures describe it very well.
We had such a relaxing time. The sound of the water and being able to fish right off the deck was perfect. The cabin is beautiful inside. Was clean and the bed was comfy. Had all we needed to cook inside and outside on the grill. We definitely be going back.
Perfect location with babbling brook going on in River! Perfect cabin vibe house! Sooo inviting! Only thing that needed improvement was water pressure In downstairs shower! Everything else was perfect! I’d stay there again!
This was a wonderful stay and the cabin was prettier in person. It was right off of the river and the outdoor sounds and views were exactly what we needed for a restful vacation. Check-in was easy and everything was exactly as described. Great place to stay while you’re at Helen!
Cozy and quaint cabin right on the river. Did some fishing in the backyard and also at Smith Creek in nearby Unicoi State Park. Quick drive from the cabin into Helen for morning coffee and meals. Great place to get away for a few days.
Beautiful well maintained property. Right on River, listen to water, fire pit on River. Comfortable beds! Great place. Would definitely stay here again.
Beautiful setting on perfect trout stream Directly above the start of tubing through Helen You can literally fish off the back deck without the disturbance of other people
Overall, the Elk Lodge was great! Very nice rooms, wonderful outdoor spaces. The only thing I would say is that the stairs to get to the master bedroom were very steep so if you have a hard time with mobility, be careful. The property staff was excellent!
We really enjoyed the stay here. The cabin is decorated nice. We love reading about "Mouse" and his service. We are hikers and this was close to some really nice hikes. Close to downtown Helen. The best part was relaxing on the deck while enjoying the river. We wished we had booked it for longer.
The cabin was beautiful, rustic, and clean. The location was perfect, close to town but remote enough for privacy.
The only problem was low water flow in certain faucets due to the extremely cold weather, but the property manager was responsive and resolved the issue.
