3B 2B Elk River home Why stay in a hotel when you can have a home? Work & Play

When you step into this home, you will feel the stress of life fall away. There is something about River Life that just slows things down. You will Relax, Renew and make Memories! Be sure to bring your fishing gear. 2 Kayaks and 2 life jackets will be provided. You can bring your canoes, boats, and wave runners also.
No matter which season you choose, there will always be some sort of wildlife for your enjoyment. In the spring you may see families of geese with their new little ones, and if you are lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of wood ducks with their babies. These are more difficult to see because they are much more skittish. Be sure to bring your Binoculars!!!
In the summer the river comes alive with bait fish schooling and bass chasing them. Bring your Fishing Gear!!!
The white egrets will be seen along with blue herons. Since you’re staying across from Bald Eagle Holler, you may see eagles!! Google the Call the eagles make, and this will help you identify them. The young eagles will not have a white head and are more difficult to identify.
In the fall the bluffs will be showing off their beautiful colors! We have resident geese that stay all winter, maybe they prefer our company instead of the Cold North???
In the late fall and early winter, flocks of American white pelicans arrive. These are the second largest bird in the U.S. As they fly over the water they look like a string of pearls. You may even hear the loud rushing sound as they corral a large school of bait fish and watch the feeding frenzy begin. These pelicans are not vocal so they sound you will hear are their wings. It’s really amazing!
No matter the time of your visit, we hope you will experience the sights and the joy of living on the Elk River!
Fully Stock Kitchen
Sprawling Backyard
2 Kayaks with Life Jackets and Paddles
Screened in Porch great for Morning coffee and late night winding down from the day on the water.
In September TVA begins lowering the water in Wheeler Lake which affects our water levels until Spring. There is a Boat ramp about 2 miles from the house and the channel will take you to Wheeler Lake. .
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

A small slice of heaven

If you like hustle and bustle, loud traffic and obnoxious neighbors this is NOT the place for you. This place is super quiet (except for birds chirping) very clean and neat, spacious bedrooms and living/ family room. Perfect for a little get away or a place to collect your thought 10 of of 10

Peaceful getaway

Visiting for best friends funeral with my sister and another good friend. The owners have been over the top accommodating! Very quick to respond with questions and recommendations. It is out of the way, a little drive, but absolutely worth it! The property has nice views of the river and all the wildlife! We will definitely be returning next time we are in the area!

Relaxing Area, great for family

Great experience. House was beautiful and everything we needed. We had children ages 5, 10 and 12. Plenty of space out back to burn energy off. Amenities inside the house were great. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook. Highly recommend this to anyone wanting to be outside of town, quiet relaxing area with family.

Excellent rental!

The host was accommodating and provided fast and friendly communication. The house was clean, comfortable, and was well stocked with bathroom and kitchen essentials. My family is hoping to rent again during the spring/summer months to utilize the kayaks and river front. Five stars all around!

Elk estate

The home was beautiful. It was the perfect size for our family. It was a little far from town and unfortunately the river was dried up so we were not able to fish. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was a great size to cook in. The living room was very large and could use some more seating maybe a love seat or a sectional.

Great Getaway

Perfect little property on the banks of the the Elk River. We enjoyed the cleanliness of the house and the view was spectacular. It was the ideal spot that right outside of Athens where we, as a family, could spend time together and still get to wherever we needed to be in a short amount of time. Owners were very helpful working around any scheduling conflicts and were always communicative when we needed to reach them. Couldn't ask for a better host. We would definitely stay here again.
