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.

Madison

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!

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.
