"This was a perfect location if you wanted to play tourist in eastern Tennessee. From Tuckaleechee Caverns, Cades Cove or even a drive to Gatlinburg this offered a great middle ground. Close to trails, this hosts had helpful maps to navigate the area.The best surprise was the sleep sound machine in the bedroom! The back porch while not fully secluded gave a great comfort to wind down using the swinging bench, and opportunity to know fellow neighbors if open to that sort of thing.Very wonderful hosts that communicated often and well.Would book the cabin again."

"This makes our 3rd year in a row visiting the Lazy Elk, and we look forward to returning next year, and hopefully each year, Good Lord willing. We absolutely love it here and cannot imagine there could be a more beautiful or relaxing place to be. The hosts are wonderful and provide a marvelous place for the perfect getaway— hot tub, ATV, private dock, and a clean and well appointed cabin. The views are God’s handiwork!! And they are phenomenal!! Our only complaint is that time seems to go much too fast when we’re here!! We never are ready to leave."
