Magnificently perched atop a knoll overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains and Pisgah National Forest, the lodge was built using the highest grade natural materials, featuring a rustic bark shingle exterior in the Appalachian architectural tradition that originated in the Linville area well over a hundred years ago. The house is surrounded by natural forest and beautiful landscaping, with abundant wildlife all around, including wild turkey, grouse, deer, and bear. Inside, Elk Camp Lodge sets the standard for luxury mountain living, with elegant architectural details, cathedral ceilings, nine foot doors throughout, lavish furnishings, beautiful decorations, luxurious linens, television, and a floor plan designed for maximum convenience and comfort…every bedroom has its own full bath and with the exception of the loft bedrooms and game room, the lodge features one-level living. The house comfortably sleeps up to twelve people, offering 5 total bedrooms with one king bed, three queen beds, two twin beds, and one queen size pull-out sofa bed. Behind the house, the wrap-around deck, complete with deck furnishings, gas grill, and fire pit, allows guests to enjoy the fresh mountain air and the splendor of the breathtaking westward sunset views. In addition, the lodge features a full backup power generator, which will automatically kick in in the event of a power outage, to ensure guests can reside in comfort and safety regardless of weather conditions.
From the moment you walk through the front door, Elk Camp Lodge provides an ambiance of picturesque rustic elegance, warmth, and peaceful mountain tranquility. Upon entering the house, you will first come into the great room, framed by large windows overlooking the front and back mountain views, and two lofty elk mounts that overlook the living area.
