About this property

Elk Ridge - cherokee casino GSMNP

Come experience the Smoky Mountain train ride in Bryson City!!
Our cabin has a beautiful modern design with vaulted ceilings, lots of windows and rustic mountain charm. Very private yet close to everything. It sits on a mountain ridge in the trees with relaxing mountain views!
Our cabin is located at the end of a paved road and although it sits up on a ridge you do not have to endure scary, winding dirt roads to get to it. 5 minutes drive to Cherokee, 10 minutes to Bryson City and the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Family trip

It was a very nice place to stay with our family on a little fishing trip get away, the neighbors were great, and it's far enough away for peace and quiet and close enough to town to enjoy everything Cherokee has to offer, communication with hosts was also great!

This was my second vacation stay to this property, and for a good reason..I was never disappointed! I loved the view, the scenery, the cabin had everything we needed, and it was neat and clean. Nice balcony and a fire pit for late night relaxation..and it’s not far from the main sites of the Smokey Mountains! I will definitely be back again!

About the host

Hosted by Gigi and John

Host profile image

My husband and I are teachers hoping to retire to Western NC. I have been coming to this area for most of my life with my family and when my husband also fell in love we decided to start spending part of our time off here. Since we love traveling we can not afford to just have it sitting empty, lucky for those that happen to stumble across our wonderful little place.

Why they chose this property

We remodeled a cabin about 20 minutes west of here and began renting as a vacation cabin in 2015 (VRBO#728604). It was so successful that we found ourselves without a place to stay during the summer. So we began our search for the perfect spot for another cabin close to all of the activities. We found it in Elk Ridge. We completely remodeled it and are looking forward to sharing it with other families coming to the beautiful Smoky Mountain National Park and surrounding areas for vacation.

What makes this property unique

It's location minutes from the GSMNP, Whittier (Smoky Mountain & Sequoyah Golf Courses) and Cherokee with it's unique attractions (Harrah's casino, top entertainment, Unto these Hills). Also, 10-20 minutes from other quaint mountain towns such as Bryson City, Sylva, and Dillsboro for restaurants, shopping, and festivals and farmer's markets. 30-45 minutes from Waynesville, Maggie Valley, Franklin and 1hour from Asheville.
It is so close to the Park that deer and elk regularly show up on our property. Feels rural but not isolated, close to everything. Sit on the deck and watch the sun set behind the mountains.
