About this property

Elk Ridge - cherokee casino GSMNP

  • Peak time for October/November leaf peeping! New Hot Tub!
    Our cabin has a beautiful modern design with vaulted ceilings, lots of windows and rustic mountain charm. Very private yet close to everything. It sits on a mountain ridge in the trees with relaxing Mountain Views and peek -a-boo ridge line views that are prominent in the cooler months!
    Our cabin is located at the end of a paved road and although it sits up on a ridge you do not have to endure scary, winding dirt roads to get to it. Brand new concrete driveway to make access to large, flat parking area easy. 5 minute drive to Cherokee, 10 minutes to Bryson City and the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad. Just minutes from the “North Pole” town of Whittier which is the GSM Polar Express train destination from Nov thru Jan.
    Enjoy all the adventures the Smoky mountains provide including waterfalls and hiking trails galore, lake and river fishing, tubing, white water rafting, ziplining and horseback riding, festivals and arts and crafts shows, live music, breweries, and quaint small towns all around. The options are endless our choose to slow down and unwind at this haven tucked away on the edge of the Cherokee nation. Enjoy, games, reading, movies, hot tub soaking, making s’mores and telling stories around the campfire. Gaze into the fire in the modern yet cozy and rustic cabin in front of the fireplace during October thru April. Harrahs casino and entertainment complex with top billed concerts and entertainers throughout the year.

Family trip

It was a very nice place to stay with our family on a little fishing trip get away, the neighbors were great, and it's far enough away for peace and quiet and close enough to town to enjoy everything Cherokee has to offer, communication with hosts was also great!

Had a great stay!

This was my second vacation stay to this property, and for a good reason..I was never disappointed! I loved the view, the scenery, the cabin had everything we needed, and it was neat and clean. Nice balcony and a fire pit for late night relaxation..and it’s not far from the main sites of the Smokey Mountains! I will definitely be back again!

A clean and quiet cabin

Our family had a great time staying here. The views were spectacular and the cabin was very clean and quiet. The cabin is in a great location in relationship to being close to a lot of different attractions such as the waterfalls, park head trails, shopping, museums, etc. The hosts were very accommodating and responded to any queries immediately. All of the above, helped to make our stay at our very first log cabin a relaxing and wonderful vacation!

Wonderful cabin close to many things.

We loved our stay at this location and would have loved a longer stay! The place was very comfortable and peaceful. The location is great and is close to a lot of things on the south side of the national park. The one thing of note is that you enter at the top of the stairs in the photo listed, so consider if you can handle the stairs. We would stay again! Thank you.

This is a beautiful cabin well worth staying here then at one of the Motels or Hotel. Beautiful view of the mountains and nature. If I was you I would book this if it’s open. This is a short trip to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge through the Smokey’s, you won’t be disappointed. Mary was very communicative from start to finish. Five Stars.

Cabin in the woods

The cabin was clean, views were great. Missed proximity to water as hubby wanted to fish. Proximity to Cherokee and Bryson city was spot on. Only drawback was cabin was pet friendly and area also but neighbors let their Rottweilers out unleashed during walk stating 'they live here' which was unsettling as any visitors may feel targeted and uncomfortable.

Our Family Stay

This cabin felt like home. It was very well kept. It is a two bedroom cabin with an updated feel. It is up a steep hill which our kids love going up. We had two large vehicles and we always backed into two spots. They are adding a privacy fence up, though it felt already private. The view is also very nice!!! We would stay again. The owners were also very nice during our communication:)

Decent place

The place is well located within 25 minutes of Smokey Mountain National Park. Dog hair and human hair all over the bedspread - an unfortunate start to our stay. A/C inadequate for the house and only cools the living room which is strange. Otherwise good location and enough space.

Travelled with 2 dogs and kid

Cabin was beautiful and cozy. clean. It was truly a rustic cabin in the mountains. Steep driveway which can be slick. It did get cold and snow while we were there and days before we mentioned to management that there was not remote to the mini split in the cabin so we could use heat but they didn’t seem concerned. Fireplace was not ideal and smelt like gas. Spacer heaters were provided which did help. Pets not allowed on furniture which kind of made it feel not pet friendly? The views were beautiful and the location is convenient to Cherokee and Bryson City for activities. Quiet street.

Cherokee cabin-Whittier

The manager was easy to communicate with, easy checking and checkout . House appeared to have renovated with 2 newer bathrooms and kitchen. Location was an easy drive to Cherokee casino. Loved being able to bring our fur baby ! Downside of this rental - 1-very steep steps to gain access to front door. Would not recommend this for anyone with hip or knee issues or small children. 2-no Mountain View at all! Only view you have is the neighbors house, which is close. 3- only one ac wall unit that didn’t cool the bedrooms very good. I’m sure in the cooler months it would be fine.3- only 1 tv in house. 4- bedsheets and spread very thin . 4- needs updated/ more comfortable furniture in LR
