Top Banner Elk Hotel Reviews
The Mast Farm Inn
10/10 Excellent
"Cool very old property with interesting history."
Smoketree Lodge
2/10 Terrible
"This property is not what the pictures show! Those photos must be decades old! It is not a bright blue fresh painted place. It is not well-maintained. When we pulled in my kid screamed "Bates Motel!" The exterior was not maintained at all. It had weathered and gray boards with mold all over. We wanted a lodge vibe while in the mountains, but I could have stayed in a nicer hotel for the money I spent here! The hall and stairs and room carpet were nasty and smelled. My bathroom smelled like urine. The sofa had some kind of stain on it. The top ledge of the sofa and cushions and the blanket for the pull-out were covered in dust and kicked up everywhere when we sat down and used the blanket. Window air conditioner and was loud. Gross. Did not feel safe here at all. They said they could not refund my money."
Bluegreen Vacations Blue Ridge Village, an Ascend Collection Resort
8/10 Good
"Everything was good . Was not the picture of the grounds or cabin I saw when I made the reservation and this was more like a condo."
The Highlands at Sugar
10/10 Excellent
"Even though we arrived late, check in was swift and easy. What we got was a condo that matched the description in a tranquil setting with beautiful views."
Skylark - Cozy Log Cabin with 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, and hot tub
10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful, secluded, quiet property with an exceptional firepit area. The hot tub and grill were clean and the kitchen was well equipped, and the beds comfy. Thank you!"
Spectacular View of Grandfather Mountain!
8/10 Good
"Really nice place,. A little dated but worth the money. Nice view from the back door and deck. Communicating with the owner was really easy and quick"
4 Seasons at Beech Mountain
8/10 Good
"This place has a pretty view if your room is on the front side. There is no air in this facility which was not stated up front. It wasn't that hot when we were there so it was fine. There are fans in the closet. Beds weren't that comfortable and there was no coffee on Sunday. Overall our stay was good but this facility could certainly use some updating."
Amazing Cabin w/Firepit, Gametable, Hot Tub, Wifi, Cable
8/10 Good
"Beautiful cabin with just a few minor hiccups!We had a wonderful stay at this very nice cabin! The location was fantastic, and the check-in process was incredibly smooth. One of the highlights of our trip was getting to sit outside and relax in the hot tub.The only reasons I rated it a 4 instead of a 5 were a few minor maintenance and supply issues. There was no extra toilet paper provided, so we actually had to drive into town one evening just to buy some. Additionally, the ceiling fan in the bunk bed room wasn’t working, and the fireplace has a broken on/off switch (we also had to completely remove the front cover to manually turn it from the pilot light to "on").Overall, it’s a great property, and with just a little attention to these small details, it would easily be a 5-star stay!"
Valley Creek Cabin-Cabin, Water, Pet Friendly, King Beds, Gas Fireplace & Grill
8/10 Good
"The house is cozy and the view is amazing. We enjoyed the time there. The few things that were not great are the bedding accommodations which are not great. The beds are not very comfortable. The biggest negative is mostly from the property management company. The house was clean but there were spider webs in almost every corner, the bathtub downstairs was clogged, the hot top was hot but the jets didn't work properly. The worst part was trying to communicate with the property management company to let them know without success. Also, we tried requesting a little later check out but again we never got a response except for send another message to another number. Overall, pretty good place, the kitchen was equipped nicely, the house is cozy and the decks are the best value."
