3 Bedroom Cabin in Butler

We would like to share our mountain cabin located on 45 acres of private land and situated on the beautiful Elk River. This river cabin is located in the Cherokee National Forest and will sleep 7 people. And remember the third sleeping room must be accessed by a ship ladder. Kids love this loft sleeping spot! This home is small but very cozy and relaxing. Additionally, you will find all the amenities of modern house including a large smart TV and WiFi, and a full kitchen. The cabin porch deck overlooks the large Elk River. And because you are surrounded by the Cherokee National Forest, abundant wildlife are present in these scenic mountains. The Elk River is a great fishing location that has rainbow trout, smallmouth bass and catfish.
During the summer months be sure to bring your swimsuit and enjoy a refreshing swim in the cool river water. Or bring inflatable floats for a river float-down. You can also use our kayak and canoe and take full advantage of this large beautiful river. The riverside deck pavilion has a large BBQ grill and is a great place to picnic. You can also grill on an open fire at the fire ring right next to the pavilion. Or you can just sit by the river and relax to the soothing sound of flowing water. There is a hammock on the pavilion for an afternoon nap. Fishing can be productive close to the river deck. This property is open all year, and every season has its own special allure. During early Summer the fireflies gather at night in this deep mountain location. Autumn brings the color change and the trees are something to see. Local festivals are an attraction in East Tennessee. The month of June boasts the annual Rhododendron Festival in the surrounding mountains. And in September the town of Elizabethton is 35 minutes away and host a Covered Bridge Celebration with live music. October is “Country Thunder” at Bristol Speedway. Unicoi County has an Apple Festival as well as the Fall-O-Dendron festival in Roan Mountain. November is the “Speedway in Lights” event located in Bristol - all are fun things to see in the beautiful mountains of East Tennessee. And don’t forget Winter! Beech Mountain Ski Resort is only a 45 minute drive. Additionally, giant Watauga Lake is only a short drive and offers scenic views as well as fishing, kayaking, sailing and pontoon boat rentals. The Appalachian Trail is also very close to this cabin. The location where the AT trail crosses Watauga Lake is something to see.
The property also borders the official boundaries of the Cherokee National Forest and offers a private and somewhat isolated retreat that you will not forget. The 45 land also borders the Heaton branch stream, and walking around the land provides a great two-hour hike. Hiking sticks are available at the river pavilion.
You will have the entire home to yourself and have full use of the 45 acres -- and all along the Elk River that boarders the property.

Summary: We had such a wonderful stay here. From the moment we arrived, the whole property felt peaceful and grounding. It was the kind of place that made it easy to slow down, be present, and enjoy simple time together as a family.If we were not down at the river pavilion, we were up on the deck taking in the view of the river winding through the rock and trees. Both spaces were a huge part of what made this trip so special. We spent our days kayaking, fishing, looking for cool rocks, playing in the water, relaxing in the hammocks, and sitting by the fire. It all felt simple in the best possible way.What stood out most was how much care had clearly gone into the place. Nothing felt overlooked, and everything about the property made it easy to settle in and just enjoy being there.Inside, the cabin had so much warmth and character. My son especially loved the decorations and antiques, and some of those pieces completely blew his mind. Even our 15 year old dog had the best time swimming, exploring, and soaking up the sunshine.More than anything, this place gave our family something we really needed. Time outside, time together, and memories we will keep for a long time. Our kids were genuinely sad to leave. We will certainly be would back.
