We had a fantastic time at Elk Camp Lodge! This property is the cleanest and best-provisioned property we have stayed in. The community was beautiful and quiet. Lots of wildlife to see, including deer, rabbits, beavers, & hummingbirds. The landscaping and flowers were beautiful. We enjoyed sitting outside and taking in the cool mountain air. The kitchen was well appointed and served our family well, cooking and grilling out each night. The master bedroom was very spacious and comfortable, as were the guest rooms. The game room had a lot (understatement) to offer, and we enjoyed playing all of the games. The outdoor space, fireplace, fire pit, and hot tub were fantastic. Our kids had a blast playing Ping Pong, cornhole, and Jenga. The property was well located so we could visit Banner Elk, Linville Caverns, Grandfather Mountain, and many other options.
Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals is excellent to work with, as we have stayed in their properties before. They are very responsive, communicative, and accommodating, and we highly recommend them. The arrival gift was a nice treat!
We would absolutely stay here again. We had a couple of small challenges that we recognize happen occasionally and were able to take care of most of them ourselves. It didn't take away from our perception of the property or the management group.
• The cleaning crew ran 30 min over from our check-in time and left the dishwasher for us to unload.
• Someone might want to check the GFI in the bar/laundry – it was tripped on arrival and continued to flash a red LED after reset but was operational.
• The pilot light on one of the outdoor fireplaces was out and had to be re-lit.
• There is a small roof leak in the room center of the back porch off the kitchen.
• The bathroom fan in the bedroom across from the master didn't work.
Again, none of these issues were big enough to complain about and didn't take away from our stay, but we thought the owner and management would want to know. We hope to return soon! Thanks for a fantastic stay!
