We spent our Christmas in this lovely mountain getaway and we had every amenity that we needed for our stay. The team that handles the property were very professional and provided us with all the information we would need for our stay. The cabin itself was lovely and very inviting. This is the perfect getaway that we needed. 6 stars if we could give it! The Thompson-Whitfields’

Mountain Getaway.

The road up and down was an adventure, but it was worth it for the house and the view. The house was as described and the little snacks were an added bonus. Having the hot tub at the end of night was lovely after an afternoon on taking a side by side up the mountain service roads. Loved that the place was pet friendly and included bowls and covers to keep the furniture clean. Shoutout to the all the neighbors who helped wrangle my dog when she took off up the mountain. Would stay here again-a weekend was not long enough.

Prancing Elk

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Prancing Elk cabin! We had amazing mountain views from the deck and hot tub. The house was very clean and had all the comforts of home. The ONLY drawback was that the one mile drive up the driveway was frightening for someone not accustomed to steep drives. The drive has a lot of potholes and steep cliffs. This is not something the owner could help but would have liked to have known this info beforehand. Again, cabin is worth the drive!

Beautiful cabin with a stunning view!

Really a beautiful property and the perfect getaway for some peace and quiet! We had absolutely everything that we needed for the week. The view is stunning and we loved listening to the frogs after it rained. My kids really enjoyed the toys up in the loft, great for those rainy afternoons. The check in/out process was the easiest we've had. We also really appreciated the snack basket, very nice touch! We loved exploring all the waterfalls in the area, driving through the smokies, and hitting up some of the small towns in the area (Sylva and Dillsboro were both favorites). Definitely make sure to check out Honey Bears in Bryson City and Qualla Coffee in Cherokee! We even saw an elk along hwy 19 on our way back to the cabin one afternoon. We will definitely be back! Could not ask for sweeter hosts!

We utilize VRBO four times a year. I was surprised with this stay. We were expecting a cabin that is described as being close to another cabin but no mention of it being a DUPLEX. Hearing our neighbors' conversations etc... isn't what we were after. Our side of the duplex was clean, but it is definitely in need of upgrades throughout. It could be so much better with a refresh. As a side note: the Master Bedroom did not have an ensuite. The bathroom was in the hallway. Considering the above, for the cost, I feel the value was not there in comparison to other locations in the area where we have stayed.On the positive, it was easily accessible. Any vehicle can travel the road without issue. The owner/agent was helpful at booking through check in. The duplex is centrally located. We kayaked from Cable Cove to the Smoky's and hiked Deep Creek. Such an awesome area for outdoor adventures!
