Stress-Free Mountain Escape: Perfect Location & Amenities

This cabin was exactly what we were looking for in a mountain stay. The listing description was spot-on, and the pictures did a great job capturing the feel of the space. It was clean, cozy, and well-maintained. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches like complimentary toiletries and essentials such as shampoo, soap, dishwashing liquid, paper towels, and even laundry detergent! One of the biggest perks for us was the location. The cabin was easily accessible right off the main road, eliminating any stressful uphill driving often associated with mountain destinations. This was a huge plus, especially after traveling from out of town and a long day of exploring. The owners were fantastic! They were incredibly responsive to all our inquiries and very accommodating to a specific request we had about check-out. This level of attentiveness really made a difference in our overall experience. We had such a wonderful time at this cabin, and we're already planning our next stay! We can't wait to book again for next year. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient mountain retreat.

Great cabin in a prime location!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Ela Shores cabin. All the basic amenities included, comfortable bed, and the best views of the river. Candace and Jennifer do a wonderful job keeping the cabins clean and tidy. Great location between Bryson City and Cherokee, so there was plenty to do when not enjoying the great Outdoors. We will definitely be coming back soon!

Perfect place for hiking in the Smoky Mountains

We loved this cabin. It was a great location for the hikes we had planned. Almost everything was provided for us to live here for a long weekend + stay. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was thoughtfully outfitted. The host was easy to communicate with and responsive via text.

Lovely Weekend

This was just the most perfect little cabin for my wife and myself. It was clean, neat and well appointed. The bed was super comfortable. Plenty of space for a 1 bed 1 bath home. All the amenities were as described or better. Truly memorable!
