What an amazing place
We loved this place! It had everything we needed. We were able to come in and go out with problems. It had a place to park our motorcycle trailer and a place to keep the motorcycle while we were there. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an awesome CLEAN location to stay.
Love this cabin, this was our second visit to this property. Extra bonus seeing elk come through the river.

We had such a wonderful stay at this cabin! It was very clean, easy to access, and the location was absolutely perfect. Being right on the water made it feel extra peaceful, and we really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub after a full day of exploring.There was so much to do nearby! We saw the elk at the Oconaluftee Visitor Center, did the Three Waterfalls hike, and drove the “Road to Nowhere.” The cabin was also perfectly located for us to spend time in both Cherokee and Bryson City without having to drive too far.We had a great trip and really enjoyed having such a comfortable, relaxing place to come back to each evening. We would definitely stay here again!
Cabin was absolutely amazing. We will stay again when we visit Cherokee!

Great place to stay!
This is my second time renting from Ela Cabins and it didn’t disappoint. The location is one of the best in the area being situated right on the river. The grounds are kept very nice and the cabins are clean, cozy and very comfortable. These cabins are situated directly between Bryson City and Cherokee. The location is also easily accessible to so many other areas and interesting places, it makes this the perfect location to tour the entire Great Smokey Mountain region.
Back of the cabin faced the river with privacy on the back deck.Hot tub was clean.The owner was present on the property and quickly took care of any needs that arose.
The interior was very nice with comfortable couch and recliner. Enjoyed soaking in the hot tub by the river.

Response from VrboOwner on 15 Apr 2024
Hi Stacie, we take guest feedback seriously and passed your comments on to the homeowner who would like to share the following: - We strive to provide our guests with a great guest experience, so we were both surprised and disappointed to hear your stay didn't fully meet your expectations and want to take a moment to address your concerns. - We were unaware of any issues or concerns during your stay and wish you had reached out to the guest contact. We would have promptly responded and been more than happy to help. It is important to note, in late March, female carpenter bees emerge and then vanish shortly afterward. We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests.

Loved our stay in the Cast a Line Cabin
This was our second stay at Ela Shores Cabins. And I'm sure we'll be back again. Love the river location. The cabins are very nice and perfect for a couple. The cabins have everything you need, Satellite tv, internet, full kitchen, soft bed, fire pits and more. If you're a motorcyclist, they have covered motorcycle only parking and a nice flat area for parking trailers.
