About this property

ELK HAUS-Cozy Cabin w/HotTub & Mountain Views

Welcome to Elk Haus! This tranquil cabin offers a brilliant opportunity to "get away from it all" in a newly remodeled and decorated home that combines style and amenities with cozy cabin living and Mother Nature's very best views. Literally down the road from Wolf Ridge Ski Resort and Wolf Laurel Golf Club, there’s an activity for everyone here, and there’s also a quiet spot on the deck with your name on it!

"Traveling with a family of 6 and a dog, it’s not easy finding a place that has the space needed and amenities to keep everyone happy. This cabin was accommodating and everything we needed. As a family, we don’t revisit places often after being there once, but we definitely want to come back. We highly recommend this cabin. -David (recent guest)"

“The property is exactly like the pictures, very clean and welcoming. Well stocked with everything you need. Despite the rainy weekend, the view was amazing! Communication was excellent and extremely fast. We highly recommend this property for a nice relaxing getaway!" – Kia (recent guest)

"Thank YOU for giving us the gift of a beautiful getaway! As Shane said, it was so restorative for us - much needed. We loved the many warm blankets, easy fireplace, the games, kids section (super cute), the look everywhere, the location" - Shane and Christina (recent guests)

With 3 king bedrooms and a classic bunkroom, our mountainside cabin, that sleeps 10, has everything you need for the ultimate getaway with your family or friends. We designed this airy tree-top space ourselves up from the studs, making sure to include all of the little details that evoke the area’s amazing activities!

LIVING and DINING SPACES:

The cabin's open-plan living is centered around floor-to-ceiling picture windows with stunning mountain views from both the living and dining room areas. From a comfy leather couch you can snuggle up to a fire, play games, or just enjoy a book or a quiet moment looking out to the mountains.

Our adjacent dining table seats 10 and makes it easy to continue your conversations from the living room or to keep enjoying the fire and the view, while everyone gathers to enjoy a special meal.

Downstairs there’s a second living room all about entertainment, with it’s own giant smart TV, a café table nook and an incredible separate game room area with a regulation-sized pool table. Lastly, there’s a high-end Infinity game table and even old-school board games to make sure that the fun never has to end.

KITCHEN:

The brand new kitchen is open to the main room (and the view!) and is completely stocked with any and everything needed to brew a cup of coffee or create a gourmet repast. A suite of sparkling stainless steel appliances combines with all the thoughtful owner touches to make cooking a thoroughly enjoyable experience every time.

BEDROOMS:

Off the kitchen is the first spacious king bedroom with its own full en-suite bathroom. This master bedroom will inspire you to hit the slopes with its curated “Ski” décor, and then stick the landing when you dive into a bed with cozy sheets and a brand new mattress at the end of the day!

“Hike” or “Paddle” upstairs to the two other newly decorated king loft bedrooms that share their own full bathroom, or head downstairs past the gaming area to the classic bunkroom for 4. Just a note: The bunks have been cleverly fashioned to give each guest their own curtained bed and private hideaway space, a fun and unique solution for the young, and young at heart!

BATHROOMS:

Along with a convenient powder room, the main floor master has its own en-suite full bathroom. The loft has its own designated full bath on the 2nd floor and there is an additional full bath off the basement bunkroom! We provide all the complimentary toiletries and fresh towels and linens - all you need to bring is yourself.

OUTSIDE SPACES - HOT TUB VIEWS:

Outside there’s a huge wrap-around deck, with picturesque “Four Season” views. It’s also the perfect spot for morning coffee or enjoying a drink from the brand new hot tub while watching the sunset after a big day full of adventure.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD:

“We went hiking and rafting every day, and visited the many breweries in Asheville. Had some really great food and, most of all, relaxed…” – Dan and Claudia, Owners

Elk Haus is positioned right at the top of the mountain minutes from the Wolf Mountain Resort and next to the Wolf Ridge Ski Resort. The air up here is fresh and the atmosphere is quiet and relaxing.

If you're a fan of the great outdoors - we really do have everything you need for an action-packed vacation. The area is surrounded by hiking trails and rivers where you can raft, canoe, mountain bike or go tubing, and the golf club, practically right next door, is another very popular choice. Just keep burning those calories so you can visit some of the breweries in Asheville or dine at the Biltmore! ;)

• Wolf Laurel Golf Club
• Wolf Ridge Ski Resort
• Wolf Ridge Tubing Park
• Whitewater rafting on the French Broad (NC)
or the Nolichucky River (TN)

•The gorgeous Appalachian Trail
•Hiking up the Big Bald
•And if you're visiting with kids, definitely the Zip & Slip

Elk Haus is just wonderful!
The cabin and location was perfect! The cabin was perfectly appointed and loved by all 5 of us! My husband loved the pool table. The owner, Dan, was great to work with as we had a pesky smoke detector chirping. The maintenance staff replaced all of the detectors and were very nice! The furniture was comfortable and the decks were wonderful overlooking the mountains. We enjoyed taking our dogs and they enjoyed the outdoor space there as well. I highly recommend this cabin and plan to return to the Gorman cabin!

Elk Haus
We had a great stay in the Elk Haus Cozy Cabin. The house was clean and well equipped for a family with children. My boys enjoyed the basement, which included a game table, pool table and great bunk bed room. We played board games upstairs together at the large dining table. Cooking was easy in the nicely stocked kitchen. Neighbors were friendly and there were plenty of places to walk the dog/explore. Hosts were friendly and responsive. We would certainly visit again!

Views for miles!!
Beautiful home HIGH atop the mountain. Home was exactly as described and had everything we needed for our stay. The 3 king sized beds/bedrooms was perfect for our group. Kitchen had all needed items to make meals. The downstairs pool table was fun and even though we didn't use it, the spa was hot and looked very clean. Recommend to anyone wanted to have a very peaceful getaway. Word to the wise, have a vehicle with good tires and plenty of engine horsepower as the road to get to the home is steeply pitched and can be a bit nerve racking when wet. We loved our stay here and would return.

Elk Haus is a fantastic cabin! The view is stunning! Every bedroom is adorable and so much space!! Five adults had plenty of room. The kitchen had spices and amenities (games, puzzles) and plenty of supplies. We reached out to owner and he responded immediately and very helpful. We will definitely stay at Elk Haus again.

The Gorman family and the Elk Haus provided! Walking in, the decoration and coziness right away made it feel a home away from home! The Gorman family was very quick to respond and set us up to make sure the home included everything we could want and need! To kitchen appliances for cooking those yummy meals, to games, to blankets, to of course the hot tub! I can't wait to come back and enjoy the Elk Haus again!

Awesome area and Cabin
I stayed at the cabin for 5 days with family, a total of 9 people include a 1 year old, 2 years old and 2 dogs. Everyone was very comfortable, did not feel cramped at all. The host was very responsive to any questions I had. The views surrounding the cabin...OMG, there's no words to describe it. The views of the mountain were spectacular. Will definitely stay there again and again. -ML

Fabulous property!
The house itself is amazing, extremely clean, the layout is great with lots of space so even with 8 people (4 adults 4 kids) we never felt cramped. Decks, two bbqs, hot tub, all new appliances with extras (air fryer) in kitchen cupboard. Beds and furnishings super. Games room was a great hangout, pool table was great quality and electronic arcade game, large tv made it easy to spend time inside if the weather was bad. There were also a lot of items for use already in the house on arrival (coffee, trash bags, dishwasher tablets, laundry pods, washing liquid) so you won’t need to rush out for every little thing. The owners are super responsive and when we informed that a bbq gas bottle was empty, it was replaced within 2 hours. If you want a getaway in the mountains, you will love this place.

The Elk Haus
We’re on our way home from a 5-day stay at The Elk Haus and we already miss it!! It’s a beautiful cabin on the mountain with an extraordinary view without being too far from all of the fun stuff like whitewater rafting, the town of Asheville, hiking, the hot springs, etc. As far as the cabin, it’s deceiving how big it actually is inside. I lost count on how many bathrooms there were. Not that I make it a habit to walk into other peoples houses and count bathrooms or anything. That would be weird. There were just two of us but there was plenty of room to bring about 8 more of our closest friends. The rooms were big and really comfortable. The kitchen was pretty well stocked with everything you likely forgot like spices or coffee. And the hot tub was situated overlooking the mountain which made it really nice. As an added bonus, I forgot to log out of my Netflix account so if you get there soon enough you’ll get free TV too!!! I don’t have any pictures inside the cabin but this was a great shot of the sunset from our temporary backyard!!!

There was a layer of dust on some easily accessible spots, over all nothing to complain about. The main road coming into the cabin was shut down caused some momentary panic!

About the host

Hosted by Luxe Legacy Vacations

Host profile image
Our family fell in love with the Wolf Ridge area after visiting family friends who had a cabin nearby. We immediately began shopping for one of our own and have spent a great deal of money and time making it a special place for us and our friends. We are now pleased to share it with others when we are not using it ourselves.

Why they chose this property

The views and the sunsets are what made us buy this property. Absolutely amazing!

What makes this property unique

Welcome to Elk Haus! We created this tranquil cabin to provide the means for us to "get away from it all" but be able to relax in a home that combines style and amenities with cozy cabin living and Mother Nature's very best views. Literally down the road from Wolf Ridge Ski Resort and Wolf Laurel Golf Club, there’s an activity for everyone here, and there’s also a quiet spot on the deck with your name on it!

Come see why we love spending so much time in the cabin, but also enjoying the nature around with plentiful hikes including portions of the Appalachian trail a few minutes away. Enjoy the sunsets from the deck and the water sports on both sides of the NC/TN borders all within a few minutes of The Elk Haus!!
