Nice cabin

We had a very pleasant experience at the cabin. Very comfortable bed - important to us! Clean interior. The only drawback - it's close to a busy road so there is a good bit of road noise during the day. Not bad at night.

Hidden gem!

We stayed on the recommendation of a friend and it did not disappoint! The place was perfect. Very comfortable bed, well supplied place, and the living room furniture was actually cozy too. We will be staying there again. Highly recommend.

Fantastic Stay

We will definitely stay at at these cabins again while visiting the Cherokee/Bryson City area. Our cabin was wonderful, very clean, nice furnishings and spacious. The location itself cannot be beat, it is halfway between Cherokee and Bryson City, with a short ride to either location. The maintenance man was super nice and helped us gain access to our cabin. I give this stay a five out of five! Thank you!

Awesome stay at Ela

We had a great time in the cabin. It was very nice. The bed was very comfortable. It was a great location situated between Cherokee and Bryson City. Very convenient. We had 4 bull Elk walk out right in front of our cabin. Everything was awesome. We would definitely stay there again.

Nice cabin for two

Cabin was as described. Clean, neat and well kept inside and out. Our cabin was the closest to highway and road noise was hardly noticeable even during peak traffic. Very convenient to Bryson City and Cherokee Casino. Will stay here again in the future. We love the area.

Urban cabin

Clean comfortable cabin but next to road not your typical mountain cabin. King bed was very comfortable. Close to Bryson City and Sylva. Enjoyed hiking Deep Creek Loop trail (beautiful) only 15 minutes away. We saw two elk early in the morning by our front porch. We recommend this cabin
