Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall fair to good. House was spacious and clean, great location. The railings on the deck were not to code and we almost lost our two yr old grandaughter when she ran over and we saw it was loose. Even The inside railings have loose pieces. Also, there was a fire pit but no chairs, and the deck off the main suite was useless as there were no chairs. We did have to clean the chairs on the deck because they had bird droppings all over them. Lastly, there were not enough towels for all the people staying. The property mgr was very helpful when the power went out. ##### Kim and John D. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rohit R. May 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 10/10 - Simply Awesome! We went with a large group of 24 for the stay over the Memorial Day weekend. The property is huge and clean and quickly accomodated everyone. We loved that is was nestled a bit off the road so it made it easier with all the kids running around not being worried about disturbing any neighbors as well as it gave the adults the comfort to enjoy at our leisure.The path up to the property is a bit of a gravel terrain with a slightly steep down incline to the parking so it is definitely recommended to have an AWD or 4x4 which will help, as our host had pointed to us beforehand so it was easy for us to adjust accordingly. Having Melissa mention all the details that we needed to be aware of and prompt in her replies and help for any clarifications helped make the trip a well planned one. The only thing that the group had a bit of an issue with was the bandwidth of the wifi on the property as there is little to no network around and the wifi was the only lifeline but that being said it was sufficient enough to allow everyone to connect just enough to get their things done. ##### Rohit R.

It was very accommodating for our group of 3 families and it is close to Cataloochee Ski Resort. Overall a great stay and we would definitely come back. One thing that caught us off guard was that internet bandwidth is limited on a monthly basis. We didn't find this out until we got our check-in info. The good thing is we didn't want our kids or us on devices so this was not a big deal for us. Thank you Melissa for being a great host who was very responsive before and during our stay. ##### Sean R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sheri R.

Well maintained, with a fully stocked kitchen. Large rooms and clean from top to bottom. Our family vacation was a huge success! All the outdoor decks provided peaceful outdoor seating. The only down thing was the long gravel driveway, but that wasn't much of a problem. The resident woodchuck that lives behind the waterfall was very entertaining!

Spacious and inviting, the house worked well for a large family group. The ONLY complaint we have is regarding technology. We had absolutely no cell service and the internet was totally insufficient. We were all there for a wedding, and coordinating activities, restaurant reservations, transportation, meeting times, etc. was difficult. In addition a few in the group had to check in with work and send a couple of emails. Those folks had to go in to Maggie Valley and find decent connections to complete a few work tasks. ##### Jennifer B. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Steve & Jeanine H. Jan 2, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Nice Location, Tired Property The location was very nice and the space certainly accommodated our party of 12. I liked the ability for all of us to be in the living room together. However, there were several items that should be addressed: There were 5 forks for the entire group. The property was dusty and and the widows were not cleaned well. The WiFi was not adequate for today's needs. We essentially had no or very little service during our stay. There were several items laying around the outside of the cabin that would have been dangerous to younger guests. The view from the front porch is beautiful! However, there was not enough furniture for the porch and the rocking chairs were loose. This property could be returned to top condition with a little TLC. ##### Steve & Jeanine H.

Dec 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Polar Express Getaway Overall we had a great time at this cabin. The pictures don't do it justice, it is HUGE. There was plenty of room for all 19 of us and the basement was amazing for all the kids. The house was clean and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed and more! The porches were amazing, the hot tub was great and you could hear a stream somewhere off in the woods! So relaxing! We went on the Polar Express while we were there. It was about 40 min drive but it was an easy to navigate to Bryson City from the cabins location. We also had a Christmas Vacation movie night and the living room couches easily fits us all! My only complaints were that the paper products (TP, paper towels, hand soap, etc) were not included or guarunteed to be there. These items wound up being there (I'm assuming from past guest), but it would have been nice not to have to worry about bringing those types of items with us. I would not expect paper plates or cups to be provided but the others listed above should just be part of the rental in my opinion. Additionally, a few of the beds were squeaky and a bit uncomfortable. They could use an upgrade. Other than those minor things, we had a wonderful time and would definitely stay again! The cabin was absolutely beautiful and the house allowed for our whole family to enjoy spending time together to kick of the holiday season! ##### Erica L. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### JEWELL G. Jul 13, 2023 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Mislead The pictures shown with the listing are not recent. The house was/is in major need of attention. Lots of things are worn out: towels, coffee cups, comforters, etc- we replaced light bulbs- worked on wiring- fixed the stove….The internet, Dish, nor landline worked the length of our stay. The air conditioning controls (all 4 of them) were in lock boxes and we had no key or way to access. We used coat hangers to change the temp (they were all set on 80 upon arrival). Only one room in the house had air that worked. We were told the air was working when it was set on 67 and the inside temp was 80. We contacted the property management numerous times and it was not until on our way home we felt our concerns were truly addressed. I texted the PM one last time on the way home and she did offer a partial refund. The house has wonderful potential. We loved the location- end of town, not too far from Joey’s. We loved the layout with all the space. The wrap around porch is great - porch swing and all!! The house is just not in condition to be rented. The PM did say she was going to address the issues. Before you rent- ask lots of questions- Make sure you are actually getting what you see. ##### JEWELL G. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donna B. Nov 10, 2024 ##### Donna B.

May 1, 2024 #### The Ultimate Retreat Site Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Every April, I bring two groups of 16 men down from OH for a 4-day men's retreat. If there were a better place on either side of the Smokies, we'd stay there. Blue Elk Lodge is the ultimate place for groups 20 or less. ##### Doug P. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tyler H.

Jan 19, 2023 #### Amazing House for 20+ Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We brought 22 people with us and this placed never seemed small. We were able to all gather in the living area and hang out. Eat together and play together. A Beautiful house inside and very spacious. The only negative I have is not with the home but with the rental company. We had to drive into town to pick up our packet to get into the house. The only thing in the packet was the code to the door and instructions for leaving. Those things could have been emailed to us. We were 2am getting into town and so it was just an inconvenience to have to go get the packet instead of going straight to the cabin. ##### NewHope S.

The lodge was bigger then expected with more then enough room for 16 adults to spread out and do their own thing. We held our wedding on Thanksgiving and the lodge made the event even more intimate and special. The beds were very comfortable, linens were stocked, kitchen had what we needed (may need to be clean out some broken items). We did have an issue with the stove but a repair man was sent immediately and they are k care of what he could and then sent the gas company to fix the pilot light. Very responsive. Overall it was a fantastic time and all said they would go back again. ##### Debbie M. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sherry B.

We ranged in age from 18 months to 80 years, and everyone loved the house. It is very remote, but that adds to the charm. Just be prepared for a bit of a drive if you need to make a grocery store run. We went in October , and the leaves were beautiful! ##### Sherry B.
