River cabin on 45 acres of private mountain land PET FRIENDLY

We would like to share our mountain cabin located on 45 acres of private mountain land and situated on the beautiful Elk River. This river cabin is located in the Cherokee National Forest and will sleep 7 people. This home is very cozy and relaxing. You will find all the amenities of modern home including a large smart TV and WiFi, and a full kitchen. The cabin porch deck overlooks the large Elk River. And because you are surrounded by the Cherokee National Forest, your nearest neighbors will be the abundant wildlife that live in these scenic mountains. The Elk River is a great fishing location that has bass, rainbow and speckled trout.

During the summer months be sure to bring your swimsuit and enjoy a refreshing swim in the cool river water. Or bring inflatable floats for a river float-down. You can also use our kayak and canoe and take full advantage of this large beautiful river. The riverside deck has a BBQ grill and is a great place to picnic. You can also grill on an open fire at the large fire-ring, or you can just sit by the river and relax to the soothing sound of flowing water. Trout fishing can be productive right at the river deck. This property is open all year and every season has its own special allure. During early Summer the fireflies gather at night in this deep mountains location. Autumn brings the color change and the trees are something to see. Local festivals are an attraction in East Tennessee. June boasts the annual Rhododendron Festival and in September the town of Elizabethton host a Covered Bridge Celebration. October is the “Country Thunder” at Bristol Speedway, and Unicoi County has an Apple Festival as well as the Fall-O-Dendron festival in Roan Mountain. November is the “Pinnacle Speedway in Lights” event located in Bristol - all are fun things to see in the beautiful mountains of East Tennessee. And don’t forget that in Winter the Beech Mountain Snow Ski Resort is only a 45 minute drive. Additionally, giant Watauga Lake is only a short drive and offers scenic views as well as fishing, kayaking, sailing and pontoon boat rentals. The Appalachian Trail is also very close to this cabin and the location where the AT trail crosses the huge Watauga Lake is something to see.

The property also borders the official boundaries of the Cherokee National Forest and offers a private and somewhat isolated retreat that you will not forget. Walking trails are marked and provide a great two-hour hike around the land.

You will have the entire home to yourself and have private use of the 45 acres and the riverside spot, and all along the Elk River that boarders the property.

As a guest of this cabin, you'll find barbecue grills, a garden, and laundry facilities. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Butler cabin is smoke free.
