We are excited to share our mountain cabin located on 50 acres of private land and situated on the beautiful Elk River. This cabin sleeps 7 people and is very cozy and relaxing. You will find all the amenities of modern home including a large smartTV and WiFi. And because you are surrounded by the Cherokee National Forest, your nearest neighbors will be the abundant wildlife that live in these scenic mountains. The Elk River is a great fishing location that has bass and rainbow and speckled trout.
During the summer months be sure to bring your swim suit and enjoy a refreshing dip in the water. Or bring your inflatable floats for a river float-down, or use our kayak and canoe and take full advantage of this large beautiful river. The riverside deck has a BBQ grill and is a great place to picnic. Or you can grill on an open fire at the large fire-ring, or you can just lay in an hammock and relax to the soothing sound of the river. Trout fishing can be productive right at the river deck. This property is open all year and every season has its own special allure. During early Summer the fireflies gather at night in this deep mountains location. Autumn brings the color change and the trees are something to see. Local festivals are an attraction in East Tennessee. June boasts the annual Rhododendron Festival and in September the Elizabethon Covered Bridge Celebration is a special event. October is the “Country Thunder” at Bristol Speedway, and Unicoi County has an Apple Festival as well as the Fall-O-Dendron festival in Roan Mountain. November is the “Pinnacle Speedway in Lights” event located in Bristol - all are fun things to see in the beautiful mountains of East Tennessee. And don’t forget that in Winter the Beech Mountain Snow Ski Resort is only a 45 minute drive. Additionally, giant Watauga Lake is only a short drive away and offers scenic views as well as fishing, kayaking, sailing and pontoon boat rentals. The Appalachian Trail is also very close to this cabin and the location where the AT trail crosses the huge Watauga Lake is something to see.
The property also borders the official boundaries of the Cherokee National Forest and offers a private and somewhat isolated retreat that you will not forget. Walking trails are marked and provide a great two hour hike around the land.
You will have the entire home to yourself and have private use of the 50 acres and the riverside deck, and all along the Elk River that boarders the property.
