My husband and I were celebrating our 16th anniversary as well as his birthday. I can honestly say that Elk Mountain Lodge was the most beautiful relaxing place that we have ever stayed. Valerie and Dennis were so helpful with any questions. They also were helpful with offering information on activites in the local Asheville area. They have listed restaurants with reviews and locations in the rental for your convenience. Their home is beautiful and their attention to detail is superb! Valerie and Dennis are wonderful host. Everything was perfect!! Can't wait to visit again!!
