We absolutely loved the cabin and all the amenities. They were super flexible and very nice when we inquired about adding an additional day to our reservation. The area is gorgeous and the cabins are in a great location for visiting surrounding areas like Bryson City and Sylva. We will definitely be back again soon.

Location, location, location! Great views, lawn, and dock for swimming, sitting, and docking boats. Great screened in porch with large table and chairs, really comfortable to eat and play games at. Bedrooms upstairs need to use outdoor stairs to access the cottage and bathroom, good for teens and young adults. large bathroom with lots of space and nice shelving for lots of items. Owners are just up the hill if anything is needed.We rented a boat from Jake's Livery and boated all around the lake, great location to go to on water restaurants also to enjoy the many wineries, breweries, and hiking trails. On quiet lake road so walking and running for pets or exercise is very easy. Would recommend as long as everyone can do stairs to get to cottage.

Cabin was perfect, I can’t even think of anything that wasn’t great.. Hate I couldn’t stay longer… Cabin is 5 minutes from everything; casino, waterfall, river rafting, food, everything… Cabin has Direct so I got to even catch the remainder of playoff game after I left casino… It’s really perfect; this will be regular stay for all my casino trips… Thanks for having us…

This is my fourth time to stay at Ela cabins and I have already made reservations for a trip next year. The cabins are clean, well stocked with necessities, and very quiet area. If you’re looking for a place to stay in the area, this is it.
