    Sandra C recommends this vacation rental

    We really enjoyed our stay at the Elk Spring Resort cabin.The accomandations were perfect! The cabin was clean and the furnishing and decorations were beautiful. We loved the view and enjoyed sitting on the porch and listening to the birds.We also appreciated the WIFI,so we could check messages and receive phone calls if we were needed. We enjoyed cooking on the gas grill. It was so nice to cook some meals and be close enough to eat some meals out.We loved the location because it was close to the local merchants with so many handcrafted items to see and purchase.We loved the local people. They were very friendly and inviting. It was nice that downtown Gaitlinburg was close family enjoyed the weekend so much that we would love to visit again. We would also recommend this resort to friends and family. Thanks so much for a great vacation.

    Chris K from Slydell, LA recommends this vacation rental

    In the past I have generally wanted to revisit vacation locations like Florida, Hawaii, or Tennessee. It is rare for myself that the "hotel room" makes me want to come back to the same place for accommodation. Honestly if the entire state was snowed in and we were forced to stay inside the cabin, my trip would have still been great.

    a guest from Pace, FL recommends this vacation rental

    Upon entering was extremely pleased and surprised at the size & appearance. Very quiet and secluded area, had to go down a few gravel roads (??) and once in the driveway area it took a bit to orient your vehicle to get out or back UP a gravel incline. We had great weather so the use of the deck & hot tub was enjoyable, no porch covering for the entire outside area of the cabin. The only thing missing was a view from the bedrooms....but, a fabulous rain shower.

    Wonderful stay. There are a lot of places on the Internet that look good online but look completely different in person. Secluded Garden was not one of these places. What we saw online was what we got. The place was semi private and the cabin itself was great. It was clean and taken care of. Only wish sewers still there. Great stay will be sure to come back. 5+ Stars.

    I would not even be able to offer suggestions for improvement-- everything was perfect!

We plan to return in the future and would highly recommend Elk Springs to friends and family.

    a guest from Peoria, IL recommends this vacation rental

    Very nice property. In a development and while you pass several nice looking homes to get to the property, you are pretty secluded (at least during summer with leaves on the trees).

    Pictures are quite representative. Six people (2 kids on pull out sofa) were comfortable. Washer/dryer came in quite handy.

    Only downside is that there were not a lot of dishes (enough for six but we did dishes after every meal) and hairdryers were not supplied (we have become used to hotels providing them and did not think of bringing one). Neither were real big issues.

    Erica D from Homestead, Florida recommends this vacation rental

    Exceeded our expectations.When we arrived and entered the cabin we all had smiles from ear to ear. The cabin was very comfortable and well maintained. I was a little paranoid about how clean the cabin would be, but I was put at ease after my inspection, the cabin was spotless. Both mattresses in both rooms were quite comfortable, every mornining you had to drag everyone out of bed, including myself. However, the master bedroom mattress still was quite comfortable although the center wasn't quite as firm. Even with this minor imperfection. The overall experience was impressive.

    This was our 25th wedding anniversary trip. We choose Secret Garden because of the ammenities. We were not disappointed. I think this was the best cabin we have ever stayed in. Everything was wonderful. The cabin was very clean and decorated so nice. The little touches added so much. The people were wonderful and great to deal with. I would definately recommend this company to anyone! Thank you for helping to make our 25th anniversary vacation memorable!

    Rebecca D from Elton, MD recommends this vacation rental

    This was our second time staying at Elk Springs Resort, this time we stayed in the Secret Garden cabin. Again we could not have been happier with our stay. The condition and cleanliness of this cabin is first rate. Looking at the picture online it seems almost to good to be true but it's better in person. The kitchen comes equipped with everything you need to cook a great meal. We used the hot tube just about every night and while there are other cabins around you still have the privacy. While there is plenty to do in the area with downtown Gatlinburg, wine trail, golf, hiking and much more you could spend your whole vacation in this cabin and have a great time. I highly recommend this cabin and we will be back to Elk Springs Resort again and again.

    a guest from Wake Forest, NC recommends this vacation rental

    We had a wonderful stay at the Secret Garden! Check-in and check-out were painless, and Elk Springs was even able to accommodate a couple extra nights so we didn't have to leave so soon!

    The cabin is amazing! It definitely lived up to our expectations! Both bedrooms are cozy. All the furniture is comfortable. The fireplaces were stunning! The hot tubs are nice, and the giant rain shower was definitely a hit! We made full use of the nicely appointed kitchen and loved the big gas grill on the back porch. We thoroughly enjoyed all the cabin's amenities!

    Our only complaints are that one of the fireplaces stopped working a couple days before we left. This was only a minor inconvenience since we didn't even bother to call maintenance until we were leaving. The second item is that those big beautiful windows leave one feeling a little... exposed... at night since there aren't any curtains or shades on them. Some remote-control shades would be helpful.

    Nevertheless, we had a fantastic stay, and Elk Springs Resorts helped to make our honeymoon unforgettable!!! Thank you!!!

    This was our first trip to Gatlinburg and being immediately overwhelmed by the myriad of cabins to choose from I went with Elk Springs Resort based off the ratings on Trip Advisor. We were definitely not disappointed. The reservation and check in/out was super easy, no hassle. The resort is close to Gatlinburg and easy to find with the directions that were provided. When we arrived the cabin was in perfect shape, clean and nicely decorated. The pictures are accurate but this cabin is really beautiful in person. We would definitely stay here again or another cabin at this resort...thanks for making this a great trip.

    This was our first trip to Gatlinburg, so we relied on photographs and reviews of the cabins at Elk Springs. We could not have been more happy with our choice. Every cabin looked beautiful and well maintained. The area around the cabins was beautiful as well. It was located conveniently to the art district and Gatlinburg itself. We would not hesitate to stay at Elk Springs again, and will most likely choose the same cabin.

    I dont know where to begin. I decided to go to Elk Spring in December in hopes that there would be snow, because it would add to the romance and I had just proposed to my fiancée, she loves the snow. I got what I wished for. Upon our arrival we got about 2/3 the way up the hill you climb to the cabin and lost traction due to ice. A gentlemen that worked for Elk Spring showed up and shoveled ice and hand pushed my truck so we could get turned around. He advised they would have the street cleared later. Upon our second arrival we got even further and saw the same guy pushing a car by hand up the hill he stopped us and advised that we would not be able to stay in our original cabin due to ice, however they had a cabin waiting on us. The following day they called and gave us the option to stay where we were or go to our original cabin which we did. Through out our stay we saw this guy working day and night insuring the streets stayed clear. Both cabins were awesome, the service was great from the time I called to make reservations until we left. This trip was one of the most exciting, unpredictable and romantic trips ever. Highly recommended.

    We stayed for a week, during the off season this December. It was a wonderful stay. The cabin was clean and very well kept. The location was private and it provided a great escape for us. I would go back tomorrow, if I didn't have to work!

    Great location, convenience, and amenities. Excellent choice for a weekend getaway for two or full blown family reunion. Enjoyed the cabin in October, beautiful time of year for hiking and walking the trails in the national park. Very nice and accomodating staff. You'll have fun!

    We stayed at Secret Garden to celebrate our 10-year wedding anniversary. The cabin was luxurious, the view was awesome, and we loved the location near the Artist Colony, a grocery store, and downtown Gatlinburg. We had such a great time that we came back to Elk Springs Resort to stay in a larger cabin with our family at the beginning of 2011.

    We spent the first two nights of our honeymoon in the Secret Garden cabin. When we first drove into the resort property, we were a little worried about our stay. The cabins were fairly close together and we had wanted a little privacy. Luckily, the secret garden isn't right next to other cabins and we had plenty of privacy. The cabin was great and the rain shower is awesome!

    My wife and I recently stayed 6 nights in Secret Garden for our honeymoon and loved everything from the rain shower, location, kitchen, pool table, hot tub, etc. Secret Garden seemed to be the most secluded of the cabins at the resort and it was convenient to town while still providing a country feel. Would recommend this propoerty to anyone staying in the smokies!

    The cabin was better than the picture! The furniture was in great conditon and matched the theme of the cabin. Everything we needed was clean and waiting for us! The kitchen was well stock with dishes, pots/pan and clean dish towels. We had only one minor problem with one of the showers, but the overall condition of the property more than made up for that problem. I highly recommend these cabins to anyone who would like to get away! The managers, also checked to make sure we had settled into the cabin. When we wanted to be around a crowd, we found everthing we wanted to do in the Gatlinburg area!

    Melissa K from Lancaster, PA. recommends this vacation rental

    My husband and I chose Gatlinburg/Great Smoky Mountains as our destination to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. After a great deal of research online we chose Elk Springs Resort and Secret Garden for our stay. The pictures posted online for the cabin were very accurate--the cabin was gorgeous. There was zero hassle checking in or out of the cabin. We did not do any cooking while we were there due to our short stay, but the kitchen was fully stocked with dishes etc and a nice gas grill is right outside the front door off of the kitchen. The location of the cabin in relation to Gatlinburg is very conveniently located along the artist's loop south of town with grocery stores, gas stations, banks, restaurants etc very nearby (we were impressed with The Ship restaurant along Glades Rd.). This cabin does not have immediate neighbors on either side and might be the most private you can get within the resort. We really enjoyed the peace and quiet and would sit on the deck at night and listen to the frogs and crickets and get up early to listen to the birds--you will not have traffic noise here at all. We often judge our accommodations by the bathrooms and the bathrooms here were spotless. The jacuzzi tub and hot tub were surprisingly clean (like new) and I could not find a speck of mildew in the rain shower or the shower in the other bathroom--this was a welcome relief! It was really nice to return from hiking or sight-seeing and spend 15 minutes in the hot tub. We would recommend this resort without hesitation to family and friends. We posted links to the resort on Facebook while we were there because we were so impressed and because we had free WiFi which does work up in the mountains! The only thing we would add to the cabin would be a coat rack or hooks for coats and maybe a couple more towel bars in the bathrooms. If you're debating staying here, stop debating and book the cabin--you'll be glad you did! We can't wait to visit again and we'll be stayi

    My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and we loved it. The cabin was amazing (especially the shower and jacuzzi) and was everything we ever expected. The location of the resort is not exactly the best in regards to scenic views and access to the Smoky Mountains, but it is still close enough so as not to be a hassle. The property was well-maintained and generally clean. Everything went smoothly regarding check-in/check-out and I would highly recommend this company no matter which cabin you eventually choose. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stay here again.

    a guest from Paducah, KY recommends this vacation rental

    We had a great stay at Elk Springs Resort in our cabin Secret Garden! Check in and out was really easy! The location and staff were great! It was away from all the traffic but not too far way from everything. The view was really nice! There were cabins fairly close but the cabin felt really secluded. Secret Garden is on its own little gravel road so we didn't have any traffic at our front door. The staff was wonderful! Marty was very helpful in making the reservation. She was very nice! The security man was very nice and helpful as well. He stopped us several times to ask if we needed anything which was great! We talked to Andy once and he was also very helpful. The cabin overall was really beautiful and overall really clean. We loved the openness of the cabin and the wood floors. The kitchen was great and the 18 ft. shower was the best! There was just a few parts that could be cleaner.....The floors were not the cleanest. They looked clean but our socks got really dirty after walking around on them. It wasn't a big deal but they could have been cleaned with a wet swiffer or something. Linens and all were really clean but there were some big stains on the mattress that you could see through the sheet. Again, it was no big deal to us since the sheets were clean, but a mattress cover would be a good idea to cover that up so that you don't have to see it and to protect the mattress from future accidents. There was a couple of bobby pins that were left in the shower from previous guests. The shower also had some big cracks which you may want to fix so that water doesn't get behind the tiles and cause damage. Everything else was perfect! These were minor issues that wasn't a really big deal to us. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend to family and friends. We would love to come back!

      thank you for the feedback, Nicki. We've professionally cleaned the mattress and put a mattress cover on it. Appreciate the feedback ont he shower. That unit is so popular we finally had 3 days to go in and repair it.

    The place was just amazing. So clean, so luxurious, so roomy. The cabin was available early. We met up with another couple staying there around 11pm. we drove down to meet them at McDonalds, and on our way back up the security officer followed us to the cabin to make sure that we knew who was following us. He said they monitor every car that goes in after 11 pm. That made me feel a lot more secure there. One thing about this cabin was the hot tub. We had quite the challenge getting the all jets to work. We never did get the hot tub to work properly, but we also did not call to get it fixed. They would have made sure it was fixed. Stay with Elk Springs Resort, you won't be disappointed. I will be back!!!

    We loved spending time at Secret Gardens. We were very impressed by the cabin. It was spacious, beautiful and clean. We loved being away from all the traffic and being only minutes from downtown Gatalinburg. This was our 34th anniversary and my husband's first time at Gatalinburg and my second (I was 16 the first time). We were just minutes from the national park and enjoyed being able to go hiking up the mountain to see Laurel Falls. We also enjoyed downtown Gatalinburg. We hadn't played pool in a long time and enjoyed the pool table. The cabin was perfect!! We would highly recommend anyone to experience what we did and plan on taking our family back soon.

    Secret Garden was wonderful! The amenities were great and it had everything we needed for our stay. We loved the coziness of the cabin and it was very welcoming as soon as we walked in the door. The place was unbelievably clean. We felt extremely safe. The cabins fairly close (40yds) but we never heard or saw anyone really. Loved the jacuzzi and the fireplaces. We had an amazing time and will definitely be back. Now on to the "room for improvement" part. You will have to back out of the driveway, not that difficult but may be for some. Drive is gravel, I assume for safety reasons during iced roads. Cabin is cozy, but furniture downstairs is too close together. It says it sleeps 6, but we believed more than 2 adults would be crowded. The shower was great!, but the bathtub was lacking. There was only one hot-water heater, and therefore not enough hot water to fill the entire bathtub. Watch your step getting into the cabin on icy days, as the ramp leading to the door gets slippery. I am sure that all sounds like a lot of bad for me giving it 5 stars, but those are all small things when compared to the overall experience in the cabin. The only thing that was really disappointing was not being able to enjoy the bathtub. Again... amazing cabin and place, but there is some minor room for improvement.

    The bottom floor fireplace was not working upon arrival. The jets in the heart shaped jacuzzi did not work either but that may have been operator error. I expressed my concerns to management and they apologized for any inconvenience and went out of their way to make sure I was a satisfied customer. Would definitely recommend staying at the Elk Springs Resort and I plan on staying with them for many years to come.

    The "Secret Garden" cabin was just about perfect for myself, my wife, my daughter, and my parents. The 5 of us had a great time in the cabin. I just can't say enough about the convenience (location, fully supplied kitchen, gas fireplaces, gas grill), the entertainment (TVs, DVD Players, pool table, foosball table, hot tub), and the overall condition of the cabin. Not to mention, the 18 foot rain shower that couldn't be beat.

    The cabin made a great "basecamp" whether you were hitting the National Park, downtown Gatlinburg, or Pidgeon Forge. The location is convenient, yet away from the crowd. It was also nice to be close to the Arts and Crafts District, which we really enjoyed.

    I can't envision my family staying anywhere else when we come back to the area. ...And we will.

    Quiet, private, secluded and with a balcony wooded view. Very comfortable and complete. Convenient - 10 minutes to the Smoky Mountains and 5 minutes to services. We will definitely rebook again!

    The location of our cabin was perfect - far enough out of town to enjoy quiet and privacy. Even our cabin was secluded from others in the resort. We further enjoyed that we could call to check in and call to check out! The cabin was luxurious; our room had everything - fireplace, jacuzzi, television, rain tower shower... We wanted for nothing! An excellent experience. And with 10% off our future visits, we'd love to come back!

    For everyone looking for a nice spot to always go vacationing to THIS IS IT!! My husband and i enjoyed the Secret Garden it's the perfect place for anniversary's and honeymoons or if you just want to get away from the city life. Also everything you would need to enjoy your vacation outside of your cabin is just literally a few miles away! The Ripley's Aquarium is a must see and just fine dinning everywhere. We are now planning to rent one of the family cabins. I would like for my family to experience it too. Isn't that something, not only do they have smaller cabins but cabins that sleeps up to 15 people. So as you can tell we're coming back and probably vacation here at least once a year after that. Thank you for the home away from home. See you soon!!

    We stayed here for our honeymoon. The cabin still smelled new, was clean and inviting. All the amenities were perfect. The shower, hot tub, bed, and even the pool table was awesome. It could not have been any better. This is a very nice cabin and me and my wife had a blast staying here.

    Our stay at 'Secret Garden' was wonderful! They called us Thursday morning and gave us our code to get in and even said we could check in earlier if we wanted too. The driveway is not paved yet and is a bit narrow and hard to turn around in, but the cabin was awesome. This would make a perfect 'Honeymoon Retreat'! The bedroom has to be the most romantic of any we have ever stayed in. We only ventured out twice in our 3 day stay. It was a much needed vacation for the 2 of us and we hated to leave, but came home with some wonderful memories. This is our second visit to Elk Springs in the past 6 months (the first time we stayed at 'Mountain Magic'). We will definitely be back in a few months and bring our family and plan to stay at 'Buck Wild'.

    Joseph R from Grand Bay, AL recommends this vacation rental

    The layout of this cabin is really nice for a single couple and this cabin is more secluded than the others. I wouldnt recommend this cabin to a family with children or an infant. The pull out couch is upstairs and the rooms are downstairs so my children were too scared to stay upstairs by themselves so they had to sleep in the bed with us. Not very comfortable. LOL!! Also, I would recommend putting a phonebook and telephone for local use in all the cabins. There is no cell phone signal in the mountains.

    We loved the cabin and would definitly come back again, however we would know now to request a cabin that has a paved road leading to it. Not only was our road not paved but it was next to impossible to turn a car around so we actually had to back down the road our cabin was on. Other than those couple of issues the cabin experience was great and we will be back soon hopefully.

    Overall, the stay was good but there were a few problems. First, the property was somewhat a mess. There were beer cans down in the woods and around the house, and lots of construction going on. On the second day our hot water heater was broken to where we couldn't take a shower or use the heart-shaped bathtub, a pretty big disappointment.

    Alyssa L from Highland, IL recommends this vacation rental

    The cabin was absolutely wonderful. It was just as expected. We had a little trouble finding it since there is no sign at the entrance to the driveway and you're not sure you are at the correct cabin until you drive all the way up to it and see the sign on the cabin itself. At night it would be very hard to find.
    The driveway needs gravel or to be paved. It rained the whole time we were there and the driveway was a mudhole and had ruts in it from runoff. There is no turnaround space for leaving the cabin. We had to back out which was difficult especially at night with no lights.
    When it came time to checkout we were instructed to call the office number and inform them of our departure. I called the number and was connected to an individual's cell phone. His voicemail just stated his name and to leave a message. I thought it was a mistake since he gave no indication he was with Elk Springs Resort. Also, his mailbox was full and I was unable to leave a message. I eventually got a hold of the office after multiple tries and she informed me that was her manager's cell phone. They need to have a better system in place for checkout or have phones forwarded to a live person or a voicemail system that allows enough space for multiple messages.

    It was a great cabin, a great location, and generally perfect in every way. Our only complaint is that we had a hard time keeping the cabin warm enough because it was in the teens when we stayed around Christmastime. We also ran out of hot water in the shower very quickly. But both of those issues were due to the extreme cold outside. Aside from that, we loved it and would love to go back.
