Smoky Mountain Cabin w/ Hot Tub & River Views!

We truly enjoywd our stay at this property . I love the layout of the cabin ! We absolutely enjoyed the hot tub and sitting in the river !! 10/10

The stay was wonderful but you need to know a few things. The toaster needs to be replaced it is broken. We noticed that you have a big problem with carpenter bees. They have bored holes on the rails of the front porch and on the roof covering the back porch. The place is great

This cabin was clean and functional with a great view of the river from the mostly uncovered back deck which includes a hot tub to relax as you view it. When I say functional, the cabin had only one window over the kitchen sink to view the river. Since you need to be on the mostly uncovered back deck to enjoy it, the cabin does not take advantage of its proximity to the river. Next to our cabin was a gathering space, covered picnic area with grills. This was for the other cabins which were not river front. Fortunately for us there weren't many people there to use it. If there had been, they may have been smoking or loud and that would have ruined the experience. On the other side of our cabin there used to be a campground, but it had been so damaged by the flooding in 2024 that only an empty campground with only remnants. There was a colony of feral cats on the property and these cats were being fed on the property. They would let you no where near them, unless you were bringing food, but they were easily spooked. There was a gaggle of Canadian geese who called the picnic area next to our cabin home. They are beautiful, but beware of goose poop everywhere. There was no access down to the river to either wade or fish unless you wanted to wade through vegetation and an uneven embankment to get to it. The cabin is conveniently located to Bryson City or Cherokee, but is away from the more crowded city areas.

Enjoyed our stay. I played in a Senior golf tourney at Sequoyah Golf Club. We were in #6 right on the river. My buddy and his wife were next door. Needed the hot tub for my old muscles after each round. Owner David was very reachable and helpful. We had Direct TV that worked perfectly. No fighting the streaming stuff. Another plus was the King bed. Would love to return sometime

We had such a great time! The cabin is absolutely perfect for a couple traveling to Bryson/Cherokee- you’re just a very short ride to both. The hot tub & porch have the perfect view of the river. It’s so relaxing & peaceful! The little neighborhood is really quiet & we absolutely loved the covered spots for motorcycles! We’ll definitely be coming back!

Our cabin and it's beautiful location right on the river exceeded our expectations!! It was cleaned to perfection and completely equipped with all of the necessities. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate some special requests. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub on the deck while watching the osprey hunt on the river and elk cross the water upstream. The location was so convenient to town and to gorgeous area wildflower hikes! Thanks to Jennifer, Candace, and David! We will definitely return to your beautiful cabin!

My husband & I enjoyed a little xmas vacation in Bryson City. The cabin was very clean & we really enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings. The only thing we would recommend is the owners putting a bath mat by the shower. When we showered before & after the hot tub, its impossible to keep water OFF the wood floor. Highly recommend staying here for a getaway!

Cabin was spotless! It had a comfortable bed and was in a great location on the river! Hot tub was awesome. Will definitely book this cabin again!

My husband and I stayed in this perfect cabin by the river for a little mini vacation - it is so spacious and set up with everything we needed (although a pair of binoculars to watch the elk in the neighboring campground would have been wonderful!) It is easy to find, easy to get to, and close to so many fun activities. We packed a lot into the three days we were there and hope to go back again soon. We began and ended each day sitting on the deck by the river and enjoyed every minute. We were thankful for the hot tub after a long day of hiking (we recommend the Deep Creek Trail with its three beautiful waterfalls - there is a fairly easy 2.5 mile hike as well as the choice of taking a 5 mile hike, which is the one we chose) - that hot tub was the best way to end that day. :) The furniture is comfortable and we slept wonderfully each night. The cabin itself is very clean and the grounds are as well. We enjoyed watching the Canada Geese with their goslings wander around on the riverbank and got a kick out of the geese that just float down the river to their next destination. This is just all-around a great cabin in a beautiful spot and a super relaxing way to spend a few days. We highly recommend it!

This property was perfect! It has everything that you need for a small getaway. We stayed in cabin number six which included a hot tub. The hot tub was taken care of very well. The older maintenance man was also so helpful and very sweet upon entry.

This is the 4th time we have stayed at Ela Shores...each time in a different cabin. This was the first time we were able to see two elk right outside our cabin and what a treat it was! Cabins are in a great location...right between Cherokee and Bryson City. Clean, cute, had pretty much everything we needed for our stay.

The cabin was clean, comfortable, and very accessible to all the things in the area we wanted to experience.

Beautiful, clean cabin! Perfectly positioned close to Cherokee for the casino and Bryson City for the Polar Express train ride. We had a wonderful relaxing weekend.

We have stayed at one of the cabins on 3 different occasions and each time was great. The one downside is they have removed the washer and dryers from the cabins which is real unfortunate. There were some dirty towels left in our unit but it won't keep us away. We love the area.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Smoky Mountain Cabin! Check in was a breeze, everything was spotless, and it was the most relaxing 3 days we've had in a long time. We began and ended every day on the deck, watching the river flow by - such a peaceful place and so good for the soul. It was extremely easy to get to and close to everything we wanted to do. Can't wait to go back!

I really enjoyed my stay, very quiet and relaxing. Loved the views and the sound of the river. Cabin was nice and clean. I guess we got a bonus surprise, we felt the earthquake Saturday morning! Pretty awesome. I will definitely recommend staying here.

We were in Bryson City, North Carolina to go on the Polar Express for the very first time. When we got to the cabin it was so beautiful inside and I noticed it was very clean. To me it had a slight cigarette smell, but I just got a wall scent and I didn’t notice it at all after that. That small thing will not stop me from coming back. The space in the cabin was so spacious and cozy. The bed was so comfortable I slept like a baby the two nights we stayed. The cabin is conveniently located close to the downtown area, and right across to a Dollar General store. My favorite part was seeing all the stars outside our cabin, it really was magical. I can’t wait to visit again!!

This property was very clean and nicely decorated/furnished. Great location to all sorts of things.

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!

This is the best little cabin. It is quaint and comfortable . This is our 5th time renting it when we come up there. Annnndddd.....they upgraded and put in a washer and dryer. Very nice!! Highly recommend this place and the staff is so very nice!

We had the most amazing stay at our Ela shores cabin. Great views front and back!

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.

Me and wife had great time and convenient location with great view

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.

The cabin was as expected, clean and well stocked with supplies. The guest host and her staff are friendly and very accommodating. The area offers various things to do. The Great Smoky Mountain Railroad is close by as are several excellent golf courses. You might even have elk come visit you. We will be back to stay again, great cabins!!

I come and stay at these cabins at least once a year. I love it here, they're so clean and peaceful. The owner Dave is awesome and really goes above and beyond to work with you on check in times, and also very responsive! I will be back again!!! Thank you

I did not get proper info for check in. But when i arrived i called the phone number and they sent me all of the info in a text. I do believe this was VRBO's problem not the property

Was a great place for a quick little getaway for my fiancé and I. Super convenient location for Bryson City or Cherokee. Wonderful food options for everyone. Lovely cabin by the river for us to relax and me to catch up on my reading! Will def stay again!

Great stay, location worked out great for us...kinda was in the middle of Cherokee and Bryson.

We had an amazing time staying at this beautiful cabin. So easy to get to and close the Harrah’s Casino. Extremely clean and beautiful. We will definitely be back.

10/10 recommend! It was clean & affordable l. Centrally located to the two things we planned to do, Harrah’s casino & Smokey mountain train ride.

Amazing place. Perfectly located between towns!
