The house was beautiful! And it had breathtaking views! Our first night was a picturesque pink-purple painted sunset over the mountains! We were blessed with turkeys and bear sightings and the howling of the coyotes across the valley. The games were in great condition. We loved being able to use the fireplaces with ease. Part of the group took a dip in the hot tub, and the rest of the group caught a movie in the theater room! The whole group loved the house! Definitely would book again!

The host was amazing and very accommodating and the views were stunning. We utilized the fully stocked kitchen 3/5 days and there was nothing we needed that wasn’t there! An awesome coffee bar for the mornings and very spacious. The only downside was rock hard beds and the table in the game room was very unsteady and fell on a child leading to an er visit on Christmas Day.

Hi Chasity,
Thank you for the honest review. I am so sorry about the table falling on a kid. I hope everything is fine. Can you please contact me on VRBO and advise what table and the circumstances leading to the incident so we can try and prevent it from happening in the future.
Thank you,

Our group was very impressed with this beautiful space! But even moreso impressed with the kind and responsive host. We had one very small issue when we checked in and it was resolved immediately. We would absolutely love to stay here again! The cabin has tons of room and the property is extremely private. Huge plus for our group.

We absolutely loved our stay! We had a party of 18 and had plenty of room. There was plenty to accommodate such a large group including blow up mattresses. The only negative was the master bedroom does not have a door to close off the bedroom to the bathroom so it was limiting to how many people could get ready at once. We would definitely stay again tho!

A wonderful property, in a unique neighborhood set high in the mountains (this property is set at around 1800 ft.elevation). Incredibly quiet. Just walk out on the expansive deck and check for yourself, amazing feeling of solitude. Kitchen was phenomenally well stocked for our stay, appliances were great and we enjoyed numerous meals thanks to that. Seating was plenty for us, property layout was great, game room was super fun, although I was upset I couldn’t set the golf low score, I got close! Just a great property, in a special place with views for miles. The owner was gracious and responsive to our questions. 20 minutes to Townsend, 45 to Gatlinburg, such a great location. We plan on making this an annual visit for our family. Simply wonderful, and thanks for having us.

The check-in process was super easy just using a code. I liked that you didn’t have to go check in elsewhere & then go to the cabin. It was very clean & tidy. The kitchen was fully stocked with nice dishes & cookware. It was nice havi mg everything we needed for cooking/baking. I will say the only downside were the beds. To pay as much as we did and have beds as hard as those wasn’t pleasant. We even looked at ending the stay and going to another cabin where we slept better, but we ended up just going to a store and buying mattress toppers. It helped a little bit & we were thankful. I told the owner & I don’t think they’re interested in changing beds until those are worn out so just take into consideration. Again house was beautiful & clean! Location is a good 20-30 mins down to the valley where stores and food are.

Hi Carrie,
Thank you for your review. We love feedback. We always purchase medium gel foam beds because we understand that some guests want soft while others want firm. Those are all new mattresses without any complaints prior to yours but we will definitely switch to a different brand next time. I am happy you enjoyed everything else.
Thank you,
Christina
We booked this beautiful home for a family getaway with some of my siblings and their children ranging from almost 2 yrs to 21 yrs old. We wanted a place close enough to access Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg but far enough where we could enjoy some quiet mountain time.Copper Elk Lodge was the perfect setting! This is a beautiful home with many amenities to keep your family comfortable and entertained when staying in.We visited during a very busy time (12/29/24-1/3/25). Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg were packed with visitors. After spending days surrounded by many people, it was nice to return to the tranquility this home has to offer.The photos on the site are accurate. This is the home we walked into. Great rooms and bathrooms. A fully stocked kitchen. We cooked for ten a few times during our trip and we had all the tools we needed to make the meals. And the game rooms provided lots of entertainment for all. Pool, poker, board games video games available to play! We had some great late nights in these areas. I personally enjoyed waking up early in the mornings and sitting out on the porch enjoying the quiet surroundings while I sipped on my coffee and nights sitting with my siblings around the outside fire pit having some wine.I can’t say enough about this home. Will definitely be coming back!Thank you Christina and Michael for being such wonderful hosts! I appreciate the close communication before and during our stay.

The cabin was beautiful and communication was excellent, however, there were a couple broken things (guitar, pinball machine) that we could not use. We didn't know these things were not usable prior to checking in. The grill was also extremely dirty with no grill brush to clean. Unfortunately we did not know about this until the last night when we went to use it.The kitchen and bathrooms were very well stocked and the view is amazing!

Hi Linda,
I do apologize about the grill. Unfortunately when it is same day turns, the cleaner cannot spend too much attention to the outside. The pinball machine can only be serviced by experienced technicians and some of our guests play a little rough with the guitar allowing kids to use it. We plan to add a sign that the guitar is only to be used by musicians and is not a toy. The cleaners and maintenance do not know how to change out strings so my husband who is a musician will change them out the next time we are up. I am glad everything else is good.
Truly grateful for choosing Copper Elk!
Christina
Family of 14 loved staying there. It was perfect for the 11 adults and 3 young children. Bears came around at least 3 times during the week and onto the deck. Had to stay diligent about locking all the doors and not letting children outside without an adult. We hope to return to the cabin for another family trip in the future.

About the host
Hosted by Christina Sanchez Miller
My husband Michael and I (Christina) have two wonderful girls who love to travel as much as we do. We have 4 awesome dogs. We are adventurous and like to visit new places. We have visited over 30 countries and more than half the United States. With each hotel and VRBO stay, I feel we have learned what to do and what not to do. Sometimes it is the little things that make a vacation truly awesome. We hope you like our homes and that you feel at home while staying at our properties. We manage our own properties and take customer service seriously. Please contact us 24/7 with any questions or concerns!
Why they chose this property
We visited Sevierville/Wears Valley/Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area in 2017 and fell in love with the natural setting of the Great Smoky Mountains. Wears Valley specifically has some of the best views around and is perfectly situated to all the areas including a quick entrance into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We love the privacy our 6 acre property offers and the abundant wildlife. We feel this is a true vacation home, with no pressure of shopping or going to theme parks, just a simple "enjoy your family" type of vacation! However if the kids get a little cabin fever, mountain coasters, shops, Dollywood, Cades Cove and tubing are in close proximity. Wears Valley doesn't have the traffic that Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg have with super cute general stores and antique shops nearby.
What makes this property unique
High mountain views without the scary drive or incline. Six acres of privacy and has two Game Rooms!!!!
