Perfect stay!

We loved every single detail of this cabin! From the fire pit to the beds, from the pool table to the comfy chairs, everything! It was also very clean and by far the best stocked kitchen we’ve seen in a rental. Great experience and we’re already planning to come back!!

We stepped into a beautiful new home with one of the best equipped kitchens we have come across.We were pleasantly surprised to wake up Saturday to 7 elk that stayed all day - until dark. They walked, slept and enjoyed the beautiful day. We drove, fished and golfed.Finding the Scottish Public House, about a 20 minute ride to Waynesville, was unique treat.Beautiful way to start retirement!

Very welcoming host and the cabin had all the amenities we could’ve expected! We were a short drive from skiiing at Cataloochee and shopping/dining in downtown Waynesville. Seeing elk on our last day was also a nice touch! ;)

Absolutely Perfect!

This property is perfect! Our host, Bruce, was fantastic! We felt so very comfortable from the moment we arrived. The property was extremely clean, beautifully decorated, well appointed, and perfectly located. Mountain views, elk viewing, easy access, and close proximity to Waynesville make this property ideal for a mountain getaway. We will be back in October!

Cabin had great layout & comfortable furnishings. It is well maintained with ease of access & good location to local attractions. The only downfall was new construction in progress across the street, which is temporary. This stated, we would stay again.

Beautiful cabin!

We really enjoyed our stay in Elk Haven Lodge! Not only was the cabin beautiful and clean, but the owner Bruce was very friendly and responsive. We had elk in the yard the first morning we were there. We really enjoyed our time in the rocking chairs on the porch and at the fire pit. We couldn't have asked for a more comfortable stay and can't wait come back and stay here again!
