Welcome to Elk Haus! This tranquil cabin offers a brilliant opportunity to "get away from it all" in a newly remodeled and decorated home that combines style and amenities with cozy cabin living and Mother Nature's very best views. Literally down the road from Wolf Ridge Ski Resort and Wolf Laurel Golf Club, there’s an activity for everyone here, and there’s also a quiet spot on the deck with your name on it!
“We visited friends that have a cabin here in July. It was so beautiful seeing the mountains, and the sunsets over them every night. The setting is so peaceful and quiet and the air is so fresh and cool… we knew we had to buy a property here ourselves!” – Dan and Claudia, Owners
"Thank YOU for giving us the gift of a beautiful getaway! As Shane said, it was so restorative for us - much needed. We loved the many warm blankets, easy fireplace, the games, kids section (super cute), the look everywhere, the location" - Shane and Christina
"The entire experience was great and this home is a gem. Cozy cottage like feel with spectacular views yet plenty of space and beds for the 6 of us who were there. Loved the decor and feel and the care the hosts have clearly put into it. Very nice hot tub. Kitchen had everything we needed. The basement area was great with another tv and pool table in addition to the bunks. Communication from hosts was fast, thorough, and caring. Great stay in all ways!" - Edward
With 3 king bedrooms and a classic bunk room, our mountainside cabin, that sleeps 10, has everything you need for the ultimate getaway with your family or friends. We designed this airy tree-top space ourselves up from the studs, making sure to include all of the little details that evoke the area’s amazing activities!
LIVING AND DINING SPACES:
The cabin's open-plan living is centered around floor-to-ceiling picture windows with stunning mountain views from both the living and dining room areas. From a comfy leather couch you can snuggle up to a fire, play games, or just enjoy a book or a quiet moment looking out to the mountains.
Our adjacent dining table seats 10 and makes it easy to continue your conversations from the living room or to keep enjoying the fire and the view, while everyone gathers to enjoy a special meal.
Downstairs there’s a second living room all about entertainment, with its own giant smart TV, a café table nook and an incredible separate game room area with a regulation-sized pool table. Lastly, there’s a high-end Infinity game table and even old-school board games to make sure that the fun never has to end.
KITCHEN:
The brand new kitchen is open to the main room (and the view!) and is completely stocked with any and everything needed to brew a cup of coffee or create a gourmet repast. A suite of sparkling stainless steel appliances combines with all the thoughtful owner touches to make cooking a thoroughly enjoyable experience every time.
BEDROOMS:
Off the kitchen is the first spacious king bedroom with its own full en-suite bathroom. This master bedroom will inspire you to hit the slopes with its curated “Ski” décor, and then stick the landing when you dive into a bed with cozy sheets and a brand new mattress at the end of the day!
“Hike” or “Paddle” upstairs to the two other newly decorated king loft bedrooms that share their own full bathroom, or head downstairs past the gaming area to the classic bunk room for 4. Just a note: The bunks have been cleverly fashioned to give each guest their own curtained bed and private hideaway space, a fun and unique solution for the young - and young at heart!
BATHROOMS:
Along with a convenient powder room, the main floor master has its own en-suite full bathroom. The loft has its own designated full bath on the 2nd floor and there is an additional full bath off the basement bunkroom! We provide all the complimentary toiletries and fresh towels and linens - all you need to bring is yourself.
OUTSIDE SPACES - HOT TUB VIEWS:
Outside there’s a huge wrap-around deck, with picturesque “Four Season” views. It’s also the perfect spot for morning coffee or enjoying a drink from the brand new hot tub while watching the sunset after a big day full of adventure.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD:
"We went hiking and rafting every day, and visited the many breweries in Asheville. Had some really great food and, most of all, relaxed…” – Dan and Claudia, Owners

Our family fell in love with the Wolf Ridge area after visiting family friends who had a cabin nearby. We immediately began shopping for one of our own and have spent a great deal of money and time making it a special place for us and our friends. We are now pleased to share it with others when we are not using it ourselves.
Welcome to Elk Haus! We created this tranquil cabin to provide the means for us to "get away from it all" but be able to relax in a home that combines style and amenities with cozy cabin living and Mother Nature's very best views. Literally down the road from Wolf Ridge Ski Resort and Wolf Laurel Golf Club, there’s an activity for everyone here, and there’s also a quiet spot on the deck with your name on it!
Come see why we love spending so much time in the cabin, but also enjoying the nature around with plentiful hikes including portions of the Appalachian trail just a few minutes away. Enjoy the sunsets from the deck and the water sports on both sides of the NC/TN borders all within a few minutes of The Elk Haus!!
"We hosted our family for Thanksgiving in Daniel’s home - the accommodations were amazing, the host was very responsive to any issues we had and they were quick to be resolved. The views were breathtaking! Every main room had a view! Everyone loved the game room - from the pool table, the hot tub, and the infinity arcade - what a great hit! The kitchen is FULLY stocked with anything you should need - air fryer included! Highly recommended! Thank you again from the Ramos family!"

"Elk Haus is a fantastic cabin! The view is stunning! Every bedroom is adorable and so much space!! Five adults had plenty of room. The kitchen had spices and amenities (games, puzzles) and plenty of supplies. We reached out to owner and he responded immediately and very helpful. We will definitely stay at Elk Haus again. Pool table downstairs provided lots of fun. You won’t be disappointed. Thanks for a fantastic week!" -Lynn

"We had a great time at this beautiful house! Plenty of space for 4 adults and 4 kids. Kids loved the bunk beds and games in lower level! We all had fun enjoying pool table and hot tub! Everything was very clean and comfortable. We cooked several meals a day at the house. Kitchen had everything we needed. When we had any question or trouble finding the house, the owner was quick to respond and very helpful! We would love to return one day" -Allison
"My wife and I (early 40s) and our two boys (10/12) enjoyed Elk Haus and the surrounding Asheville area for a week. Our primary interest was to have a peaceful house that was big enough for us to have our own space in the evenings after our days trips to Asheville or trails for hiking. The space was great - kids enjoyed the bunks, pool table, hot tub, and game table. Adults appreciated the well sized kitchen (cooking at the house recommended unless you want to drive a lot), great desks/views, and space the house provided." -Colin
"5 Stars!! Our family traveled from Starkville Mississippi, and had the best time. The Gorman family was amazing, and their hospitality was fantastic. They were very easy to communicate with, and all instructions were so easy to follow. The house was immaculate, and the views were breathtaking. I would highly recommend this place to anyone, or any family wanting to stay near the Asheville area. Their house had everything you could want and more. It is well suited for short and long stays. We hope to stay there again in the future." -Bill
"This might be the best Airbnb we’ve stayed in. The home was exactly as we expected from the pictures and very clean. We really appreciated the well stocked kitchen which made it easy to cook at home. We stayed with 4 adults and 4 kids and it felt like we had enough space. The basement was a great area for the kids to sleep and play. We’d definitely stay here again." -Randi
"The views from the house were gorgeous — and the hot tub was very well taken care of and an amazing amenity. The place was clean and the kitchen was VERY well stocked! We had everything we needed - and the house is pretty close to asheville as well!" -Kaitlyn
"We had a great stay at the cabin. We were comfortable with two families (9 total and 5 kids) and the kids loved all the activities in the basement and bunk room. The owner’s guidebook was very helpful. Would highly recommend white water rafting in French Broad River and tubing down the Toe River for family fun!" -Amy
"This cabin getaway was just what we needed. I booked it for my girlfriends birthday. It was a great relaxing time, and super spacious for everyone who stayed. I’ll definitely be back. Also the views are great! Thanks again!" -Christian
"We had a great stay in the Elk Haus Cozy Cabin. The house was clean and well equipped for a family with children. My boys enjoyed the basement, which included a game table, pool table and great bunk bed room. We played board games upstairs together at the large dining table. Cooking was easy in the nicely stocked kitchen. Neighbors were friendly and there were plenty of places to walk the dog/explore. Hosts were friendly and responsive. We would certainly visit again!" -LeTisha
"We loved the house! The Gormans thought of everything! The hot tub was a big hit and the cherry on top was being able to stargaze as if we were in a planetarium from the parking lot above the house! Spectacular! Thank you! We'll be back!" -Maya
"Daniel was very responsive and did so in a timely manner. The place was exactly like the pictures and description. Beautiful surroundings and place!" - Diana
"We had a great family trip at Elk Haus! The home had every detail taken care of! Game table, pool table, coffee, a fully stocked kitchen, a great hot tub, rocking chairs, a huge family dinner table , great views. What more could you ask for!?" -Nancy
