Awesome Views at High Elevations - 1 bedroom with King bed, 3 bath cabin

Built in 2019
2-level, 2,000 sq. ft. Cabin

“1 bedroom with King Bed, 3 bathrooms, and Panoramic Long Range Mountain Views”

Cleaning Staff trained with a focus to disinfect the entire Lodge between each guest.

1 Bdrm / 3 Bath / 2 Gas Fireplaces/ Two HDTV's / Hot Tub

Enjoy the beauty of the Smoky Mountains from this 2019 constructed one bedroom, 3-bathroom open concept log cabin. With 2 gas fireplaces, wrap around porch, and panoramic long range mountain views, you can revel in the great outdoors without stepping outside. There are no steps to climb for easy access and unloading! You’ll be just 25 minutes from Bryson City, so you can enjoy both peace and quiet and proximity to the attractions of town.

The log cabin is at 4,000 feet elevation in a private gated community. You will appreciate the casual charm of the cabin’s large interior with tongue-in-groove walls and ceiling with beams and engineered hardwood flooring throughout except the three bathrooms which are tiled.

Upstairs there are two flat screen HDTV's with YouTube TV. The living room is a 65" Smart TV with access to Netflix, Apple TV, Prime Video and YouTube. Limited cell coverage on the drive-up the mountain but we have WIFI and our Verizon cell phones normally work well at the cabin. There is a WIFI landline and phone in cabin for emergency service.

Downstairs there is another flat screen HDTV, 14-foot shuffleboard table, dart board, wall hanging connect four and many games and puzzles with a game table. Also, a coffee/wine bar and another full bathroom with custom walk-in tile shower and granite countertop. There are also 2 bedrooms that will be locked.

Custom kitchen with granite counter tops. Stainless steel appliances, gas stove/oven, microwave, and dishwasher. The kitchen has everything you will need to cook (pots, pans, Crockpot, waffle maker, utensils, plates, bowls, silverware, etc.) meals during your stay.

The master bedroom features a king-sized log frame and new mattress, matching log chest, and two log end tables with lamps. Off of the master bedroom is a full bathroom with a large tiled shower that is open to the beamed ceiling. The master bathroom also has dual vanities.

The second bathroom upstairs has a tub and shower. Large single vanity and laundry room with new washer and dryer. Plenty of storage for the utmost convenience.

A new Hot Tub and Porch Swing for two below the deck for privacy where you can enjoy the long-range mountain views. The stars are unbelievably gorgeous on a clear night. Beside the hot tub is a picnic table for casual dining and relaxing.

There is a fire-pit to enjoy the cool mountain nights roasting marshmallows or hot dogs.

This dazzling, custom built cabin is beautiful, peaceful and ideal for special occasions such as honeymoons, anniversaries, and birthdays. The cabin caters to a single couple for a relaxing romantic getaway.

This cabin offers the perfect balance; peace, quiet, comfort, and views that will take your breath away. If you want to enjoy the great outdoors and a log cabin with open beams and wood ceilings this cabin is for you. Relax outside with the fresh mountain air or just enjoy the quiet serenity and comfort with high-end furniture, a stone fireplace with a vent-less gas fireplace (turned off May through September), large kitchen and dining area. You can enjoy the breathtaking mountain views from the kitchen, dining room, and living room.

Elk Ridge Summit is located in the prestigious gated community - Alarka Highlands about 25 minutes from Bryson City. For entertaining there is a community Pavilion with a large stone fireplace. Several hiking trails to enjoy the beauty of the mountains. The drive is steep. A 4WD vehicle is recommended for winter or bad weather travel. No refunds for bad weather, however, we will credit you for a future stay if possible. The address cannot be found on GPS. The driving app WAZE, will direct you to our road within the community.

Bryson City, Nantahala Outdoor Center, Fontana Lake, Harrah's Casino, Cherokee, Nantahala River Gorge (white water rafting), Tsali Biking, Fontana Lake, and an entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway/Smoky Mountains are all a quick scenic drive away. The Bryson City area is home to wonderful restaurants, breweries, the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad, hiking, zip-lining, trout fishing, and canoeing. Maggie Valley is close for snow skiing. Many local small towns offer shopping and dining as well.

-- THE LOCATION --

Situated in the middle of the Great Smoky Mountains, this cabin is the perfect place to get away from it all while still being close to the conveniences of town. The cabin itself sits at the top of a mountain, providing guests plenty of privacy and unobstructed panoramic views.

A short drive will take you to restaurants, shopping, museums, and historic attractions of Bryson City. Take the night off from cooking and check out the local fare in Bryson City. Enjoy a comforting meal at the historic Fryemont Inn (ask for Sarge at the bar) or Everett Street Diner, go for a margarita and Mexican favorites at Guayabitos Restaurant, or get a taste of the local craft beer at Mountain Layers Brewery, one of our favorite stops.

There’s no shortage of activities in the Great Smoky Mountains. Make the quick trip up to Deep Creek to hike up to a waterfall or set up shop by a fishing stream, while mountain bikers take advantage of the nearby trails. Also enjoy many hiking trails in the area, rafting, trout fishing, tubing, zip lines, Clingman’s Dome and other attractions. The Casino and Golf Course in Cherokee is only 50 minutes from the cabin. Only 1 hour to Asheville and nice drive to Gatlinburg.

Absolutely amazing cabin in the sky!Perfect place for a romantic getaway, to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with each other. The Colcloughs have thought of every detail to make it feel like home. It was completely beautiful inside and out. Very clean and cozy.The hot tub was awesome and we loved having coffee on the porch watching the hummingbirds. Had the best time playing games and cuddling up by the fireplace watching movies too.

Beautiful…. Better than the photos!

A wonderfully peaceful retreat: comfortable, beautiful and full of home comforts. The cabin is a gem. If you can pull yourself away from sitting on the deck admiring the glorious views, there is a hot tub, fire pit and a basement full of bar games. Needed to contact owners with a simple question after arriving: response was prompt, courteous and solved issue. We will be back!

We’ve been coming to the Bryson City area for around 5 years and this is at the top of our list!! We are planning on booking again shortly for next year :) It was so nice and much needed to unplugged from the “noisy” world. Thank you for opening up your beautiful home, we can’t wait to return next year!!

Fantastic

The perfect cabin for a great get away. The owners have literally thought of everything and make it easy to relax and enjoy the mountains. They couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful and even accommodated us after we made a mistake with the dates of our stay. They truly just want you to enjoy their cabin.The view from the back deck is incredible and we found it hard to tear ourselves away from it. You see it as soon as you turn into the driveway and you immediately know you’re in for a relaxing stay. Everything is so well thought out from the kitchen to the hot tub to the landscaping. It’s just a perfect mountain cabin and we couldn’t have had a better stay! Would highly recommend staying here for anyone looking to relax in the mountains!

AMAZING!!!!

What a wonderful, peaceful and beyond beautiful home and view. We spent 3 days there and probably spent 4 hours a day just sitting on the porch enjoying the view, talking and playing games. The home is very private and isolated and VERY WELL kept. We needed nothing whatsoever...bed very comfortable, game room downstairs well-equipped, VERY CLEAN, great master shower!One tip - the drive to town is "interesting" and takes about 35 minutes. Come prepared with necessary food/supplies. WOULD ABSOLUTELY STAY THERE AGAIN!!!

Didn't Want to Leave

This was our favorite cabin that we have rented so far. The pictures do not do it justice. You will want for nothing in this cabin. The views are amazing. We loved the fireplaces. While we were there it was a bit windy and chilly so we didn't get to enjoy the deck as much as we wanted. But by far the best part of the cabin is the game room. We would spent the day out but would really look forward to coming back to the cabin and playing shuffleboard. The sunrise the morning we left made it really hard to leave. Thank you so much for sharing so a special place.

Anniversary Weekend

As soon as I opened the curtains overlooking the balcony and saw the view I was in love. We stayed in that first night relaxing on the deck while watching the sun set over the mountain. My husband couldn’t stop looking at the view. When the sun went down we hopped in the hot tub and any stress that didn’t dissipate upon arrival was quickly melted away. I absolutely loved watching the fireflies and stars twinkle. The entire cabin was pristine and had everything we needed. We enjoyed a few rounds of shuffleboard, darts and connect four downstairs on our way to the hot tub. We missed the sunrise the next morning but made a point to wake up earlier than needed on checkout day so we could enjoy the sun rise with our coffee. We would absolutely stay here again. We were considering the beach but given it was the 4th of July weekend we wanted to avoid crowds. Also the temperature on top of the mountain couldn’t be beat, far I say it was chilly at night. Thank you so much for sharing this special place with us.

Amazing Cabin getaway

The cabin was in prestine condition and had absolutely everything we needed. It offers a variety of games that we really enjoyed learning to play. We loved playing shuffle board, relaxing in the hot tub, and toasting marshmallows by the fire. The views are even more spectacular in person. The owners were very detailed in how to get up the mountain and what to do at the cabin. My husband and I had an amazing time and were already talking about coming back before we even left!

About the host

Hosted by David & Amy Colclough

Host profile image
We currently live on the east coast of Florida, but spend several weeks each summer hiking the Appalachian Trail. We both love North Carolina, especially Bryson City and the Great Smoky Mountains. We bought Elk Ridge Summit as our second home and decided to share it with others when we are not there. The views are magnificent and the cabin is spacious yet very cozy. We have loved it so much that we built another cabin on the mountain.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Elk Ridge Summit immediately! When you drive up the hill into our driveway you will see why. That view is just magnificent!

What makes this property unique

If you enjoy relaxing on a deck and gazing at multiple mountain layers, especially at sunrise with a cup of coffee or a glass of your favorite wine at sunset, Elk Ridge Summit will not disappoint. Once the sun sets, the stars illuminate so bright, time will stand still, not to mention all the fun you will have counting the satellites flying over head.
