  Rebecca M from Capon Bridge, WV recommends this vacation rental

  We had a great week in Gatlinburg and this cabin was perfect for our group of 12!! It was very spacious and clean. Our hot tub was not working and within 2 minutes of me calling there was a man there to check it out! Very prompt! Also, our dryer belt broke and we were stuck with two loads of wet laundry. The maintenance man offered to take the two loads of laundry and he dried them for us that day! When we came back that evening there was both loads of our laundry folded neatly on our table!! I was shocked and amazed! That is some awesome customer service!! Thanks so much! You went ABOVE and BEYOND!!

  We enjoyed our stay even though the weather was not the best. The cabin had plenty of space and entertainment capabilities that it made for a great bachelor party experience. I would definitely comeback again in the future.

  We enjoyed a wonderful weekend with 2 other couples. Six foot movie screen, pool table, arcade machine, foosball table, gas fireplaces, and spacious accommodations were better than expected. Loved every minute. Will be returning.

  Michelle S from Charlotte, NC recommends this vacation rental

  I invited 6 friends on this ski trip for my birthday, only 2 of them had taken the time to view the resort's website, so 4 of them had no idea how beautiful the cabin would be. The pictures online were great, but actually being in the space, chatting around the fire, and waking up to beautiful views really made the difference. We were planning our next trip before this one was over! This time, we intend to spend more time in the cabin and maximize the space. We really appreciate the hospitality and courteous employees. They welcomed us during the phone call which made us feel at home, and called to check-in and make sure had everything we needed the following day. The name “Legendary Luxury” is fitting for the cabin, in fact, it’s fitting for our trip as a whole. Thanks, Again and Again. -MS

  I recently rented this cabin for a group of friends, my husband and myself for my husband 30th birthday and I loved it! It couldn't have been better, the location was great (I am completely terrified of mountain roads and this cabin was not too far up) and the place was perfect! Had everything we needed to cook and to be able to enjoy our stay! I would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a nice place to stay!

  My family really enjoyed the stay...we loved the cabin and all the activities. Wished we could have stayed longer! I have quadruplets that are almost 18 years old plus 2 other teens...all enjoyed playing pool, the arcade games and the hot tub. Look forward to returning next year, during college breaks, etc.!!

  a guest from Nashville, TN recommends this vacation rental

  Absolutely amazing! The cabin looked incredible online but was even better once we stepped foot in the door. This cabin was extremely clean, organized and overall just a comfortable vibe.
  
  I've stayed at other cabins through different rental companies around Gatlinburg so I wasn't sure what to expect in terms of amenities like kitchen equipment, pots & pans, utensils, etc. This cabin was STOCKED! We ended up bringing a lot of items from home, not sure what would actually be there waiting for us. Needless to say, we didn't use any of our kitchen supplies. Well, except for the kitchen knives. We needed those because the ones in the cabin were pretty dull, but that's a personal preference.
  
  Beds were extremely comfortable, linens were very clean and the bathrooms were in great condition. No shortage of hot water, that's for sure.
  
  Looking forward to returning to the Legendary Luxury in the near future and I highly recommend staying here or at any of the Elk Springs properties as I'm sure they're all just as nice as the one we had this weekend.

  a guest from Westerville, OH recommends this vacation rental

  Great family vacation in the Smokies. We were there for a whole week and found plenty to do.
  
  The kitchenware was a bit skimpy, but manageable.Thought it strange that there were 12 wine glasses, but no cork screw! There is no mountain view.
  
  The management was great in responding to any problems.
  
  In the directons to the cabin it was strongly recommended that we take a very long route around Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg to avoid the heavy traffic. In our experience this proved to be unnecessary and added another 30 minutes to our trip coming from the North. We returned on the more direct route.

  We really have nothing but great things to say about Elk Springs Resort and the staff there. We had 2 minor issues that needed maintenance staff help and they were very quick to come and fix the issue. The cabin was very well cared for and also very clean. I would definitely come back and stay again and recommend Elk Springs to anyone that is looking for a great place to stay in Gatlinburg, TN.

  a guest from Paris, TN recommends this vacation rental

  We stayed for four days at Elk Springs resort and enjoyed every minute of it. We arrived to find the cabin very clean and comfortable. Every room had a warm friendly feel to it. The kitchen was very functional and had up to date appliances. Each bedroom was decorated with taste and the beds were comfortable. The bathrooms were clean and fresh. After a day of sightseeing or a night out downtown it was great to come back to the cabin turn the fire on and relax. We would recommend this resort to anyone. And by the way some cabins are pet friendly !

  Dave D from Mainville, OH recommends this vacation rental

  Great property, clean, great location. Close enough (w/in 15 min) to enjoy all the attractions yet far enough to provide "the escape" you need. As part of a development we were initially hesitant because we wanted a place that offered some seclusion. You'll find the cabin towards the back of the resort and although you have neigbors you'll see that you're not on top of each other and can enjoy your 3 decks in relative privacy. Relax at night in front of the fireplace on the main deck (and don't forget the marshmellows!). The cabin is nestled within the tree's so don't expect a panoramic view of the Smokies (not important to us but I could see how others may want). Open floorplan with lots of room. Everything (fireplaces, hot tub, wifi, virtual check-in process, etc..) worked flawlessly. Would definitely return and recommend...

  a guest from Newark, Ohio recommends this vacation rental

  The only thing we missed was deck furniture. Beautiful decks off the sleeping areas, but nowhere to sit! We were lucky to have some sports chairs left in the van that we were able to move onto the decks during our stay. The appointments were beautiful. What a wonderful stay. If you are looking for sweeping panoramic views, this is not your choice. However, if you are looking for a beautiful setting, on excellent roads, in supremely convenient location...you won't go wrong.

  Stacy K from Wheeling, WV recommends this vacation rental

  The price of the cabin caught our attention originally. It was very affordable for what appeared to be a high quality cabin. Moreover, we were traveling as four couples and most of the other cabins we looked at had a kids room with bunkbeds, etc. This was the perfect cabin for our couples getaway. Each couple did not have their own restroom and three of the rooms were somewhat close to one another, but it didnt bother us.
  The three decks are great, and all of the fireplaces were great. They were not very fake looking like we had expected.
  We would love to make this cabin an annual trip!

  Our stay at Bear Cub Lodge was perfect. We spent the week hiking with our four kids in the smokies and Elk Lodge Resort was the perfect place to call home while we were there. The Arts & Crafts Community is wonderful , and was a welcome escape from the business of Gatlinburg. We never did make it ot find the swimming pool, but we were so busy in the national park , we didn't need it. Not only would we stay here again, but we can't wait to come back. The only thing I could say needed improvement- a few of the beds in our cabin were squeaky. Slight annoyance, but not enought to keep this from being a perfect 5 stars for us.

  The spacious, beautiful lodge we stayed in was so great that we only left once during our stay. The fireplaces, hot tub, pool table and DVD players were all kept very busy and normal stressful busy life was put on hold for 4 days. We were able to enjoy God's beauty with no timetable and no stress. A perfect vacation!
