About this property

Elk Meadow Lodge ~ Elk Viewing ~ New by Willow Tree Cabins

Elk Meadow Lodge is a 2 bedroom 2 bath cabin with great views and just the right size for a cozy getaway or a family retreat.
All RATES QUOTED are for the 2 BEDROOM option.
The cabin can also be rented as a 3 Bedroom. (An additional King bed)
If you want to book the 3 bedroom option - please select it on the Confirmation Page under 'Optional Add-Ons'

The cabin will sleep 6 if you choose the 3 BEDROOM option.

The cabin has 2 King Size Bedroom Suites. One on main floor and and one on second floor. There is also a loft with a Sofa and an additional TV. Both with full baths so the cabin will accommodate 4 people. Enjoy the loft for some relaxing time with a book or turn on your favorite game on the 50" wall mounted flat screen TV. Sneak to the one of the decks to rock your cares away and maybe catch an Elk grazing in the field. Bring your sweetheart or family for a tiny glimpse of paradise....Ahhh the view......

Picturesque setting with unobstructed year round wide open mountain views of the famous WATERROCK KNOB. The cabin has approximately 1808 sq feet of living area, plus it has a large wrap around deck in the front, back, and side. The cabin has rustic charm with an amazing views of Waterrock Knob from all windows. Custom stone fireplace turns on at the touch of a button, large loft and family room, and kitchen with granite counter tops. Relax on the wrap around porch and watch the lightning bugs and the Elk graze in the meadow with the mountains as a backdrop, simply beautiful. Both bedrooms have plush king beds.

Please be aware that there is new construction nearby. While the lodge itself remains a serene and tranquil haven, guests may occasionally hear the sounds of construction. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding as the area continues to develop.

A very relaxing and enjoyable week!

Willow Tree cabins are always beautiful and very clean! Camelle makes sure you have everything you need for an enjoyable stay! We love staying in Maggie Valley because it is quieter and more laid back than Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg! We love waking up to elk right at our doorstep! Also got to experience snow in the mountains for the first time and it was breathtaking! Highly recommend staying at any of Willow Tree cabins, you will not be disappointed!!

Amazing Stay, Gorgeous Views, Beautiful Cabin

We had an amazing trip to Maggie Valley where we stayed at the Elk Meadow Lodge. The home exceeded our expectations in every way; exceptional cleanliness, wonderfully decorated, kitchen was well equipped for cooking with many amenities provided by the home owner. We truly enjoyed the fire pit which had plenty of chairs around it and also plenty of rockers on the wrap around porch. The view of the mountains and pasture from the cabin were gorgeous and we saw elk everyday. Can’t wait to return again!

Relaxing getaway

This is my second stay here and I already can't wait to come back. The cabin is beautiful, clean and offers a very relaxing stay. I did not see as many elk this stay, but it is a different season. The cabin and it's views were still amazing! Perfect stay for anyone, a romantic getaway, family vacation or personal retreat.

The cabin was awesome. It was beautiful just as the pictures. It was in a great location and seeing the Elk grazing so close to the house was an amazing experience. We will definitely be back to stay in the future.

This is the best cabin we have ever stayed at.

We rented Elk Meadow Lodge for the second time this year. The cabin is just amazing. It is always spotless and well appointed with everything you need. The beds are very comfortable and the scenery in the meadow is beautiful. We were here for a family get together. Willow tree Cabins are the best and although we didn’t see any elk, we were so comfortable here just sitting in the rocking chairs and hanging around the campfire, we forgot all about the elk. We will definitely return again, hopefully next year.

Sensational stay in the Smokies

Once again, as we are repeat renters, Elk Meadow Lodge was an exceptional place to spend our week riding the curvy roads in the Maggie Valley area. Perfect location for bikers as access is very easy and flat. Big circular driveway for parking , even if you're trailering. The cabin is super nice, super clean and super comfortable, and perfect for one to three couples. And our host, Camelle, is awesome as well. Very attentive and very easy to communicate with. Can't recommend this property enough. Willowtreecabins.com will always be our first option.

Another amazing week at Elk Meadow!

Elk Meadow never disappoints. The beauty of the cabin, the amazing view, the daily arrival of elk and time with family is just what we needed. This is our fifth year with Willow Creek Cabins and have enjoyed every year. Camille is a sweetheart to work with and goes above and beyond to make your stay memorable. Looking forward to next year all ready!

Relaxing week was spent in the perfect cabin.

Beautiful, clean, comfortable cabin to relax and rest in a quiet, tranquil setting. Sit on the porch and watch elk grazing in front of you. Camelle is the perfect host. She provides everything you could possibly need. We have rented her cabins for many years and plan to continue to visit here. Book here before you lose the opportunity. You will be glad you did. Thanks Camelle for allowing us to enjoy another amazing week!

Tranquil Getaway

The Elk Meadow Lodge was such a pleasure to relax in over the Memorial Day weekend. Camelle, the owner, provides an incredible experience with exceptional communication, service, and accommodations. The lodge is a perfect refuge for a solo traveler or a family. It was such a serene escape from the city to be surrounded by breathtaking mountains and pleasantly surprised by majestic Elks while gazing at the stars while warmed by the firepit. We will definitely return soon and highly recommend this lodge!

About the host

Hosted by Camelle Reid-Blake

Host profile image
Willow Tree Cabins is a company I started because I wanted to manage my cabins myself so I could give PERSONAL SERVICE to my great guests. I own all five of may cabins so I want to make sure that all are maintained to the highest standards. I am from North Carolina and have lived in the mountains all my life. I bought this cabin in Maggie Valley because of the easy access to so many things to do. It is close my home in North Carolina so it's a great little weekend getaway. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. It's cozy and unique in every way you can imagine...BEST OF ALL ~~ IT IS VERY CLEAN!!!

What makes this property unique

The thing I love most about staying at my cabin is that the feeling cozy comfort is all around. You never even have to leave the cabin if you just want to sit and relax. A desk table at one of the windows is the perfect spot to put my laptop when I need to do a little of my work. The back covered deck has rocking chairs to sit and rock the evening away. The early morning sunrise will take your breath away, as well as the smell of the cool morning dew.
