Our children enjoyed the pool table and hot tub the most. It's been 20yrs since my wife has been in the Smoky Mountain area and they are still beautiful!! and the cabin was wonderful. The master bedroom was romatic with the fieplace. My wife's favorite was the rain shower. Bonus. Made for a great family week dispite the very hot temps.Would for sure recommend to anyone. Perfict for family of 4
We were very impressed with our stay. We were a little surprised at how close the other cabins were in location to ours; however we left very pleased.
I would recommend Elk Springs to anyone. There was a mix-up on our reservation Friday night and the staff could not have been more helpful and courteous. The cabins are absolutely gorgeous and very well maintained. I travel incessantly for work so I'm pretty picky, but Elk Springs definitely out performed my expectations. One note on A Desire Fulfilled - fabulous cabin but don't expect any privacy in the hot tub on the deck. Enjoy!!!
The cabin was everything that was advertised. We wish that we'd taken a high chair for our toddler as there were none available. Overall a fantastic place to stay at the moment.
There is a local company that you can use to rent cribs, high chairs and other items. Please contact our office prior to your check in and we can assist in getting these items for you.
I loved everything out our cabin. This is our second time staying with Elk Springs, and I would never chose another location. I have told all my family about our trip, and pushed them to experience this great place! I am so thankful to find such an amazing cabin.
This was one of the best vacations I have ever had and I have been many places. The cabin was very comfortable. The property security met us and walked throught the cabin to show us everything and how the fire places worked as well as the shower, hot tub, grill and much more. I plan to visit this location again very soon!
First time staying in a cabin in Gatlinburg had a wonderful time. We stayed in a Desire Fulfilled and the cabin was absolutely fantastic! It was very clean and well stocked in the kitchen which was important as we stayed in and fixed out meals there. Enjoyed the pool table and all other ammenities including the grill. Can't say enought about the rainfall shower Took more showers than I'm sure were necessary to use it Soooo Relaxing. Hot tub was clean and warm loved sitting out there on snowy night. Only complaint is the closeness to the other cabin did not make for much privacy when out enjoying the balcony and tub. One of the best 3 days loved it would definetly stay there again!!! Recommend Highly.
We had a wonderful vacation at the Elks Spring Resort-A Desire Fulfilled cabin! Everything was wonderful, and we definitely look forward to going back.
Cabins were beautiful and clean. I will definitely be back again.
a very nice place , everything was there to have a good time . we plan to go back as soon as possible ! the only thing : no connection with any cell ... overwise it was perfect !!!
Windows needed blinds so that the I would be unbable to view the neighbors. Nice location!
Beautiful is the best way to describe Elk Springs Resort. The cabin was lovely, the scenery was gorgeous! We were a little concerned about what the property would be like after driving by some others, but Elk Springs was indeed the best we saw! We will be planning on returning again! WE have already recommended it to friends for their family reunion!
I really enjoyed my stay at a Desire Fulfilled in the Elk Springs Resort. Everything was very clean and in great condition. The only thing that wasn't perfect was the lack of a view. Our view was just the forest but it was still nice.
The cabin was magnificent, clean, comfortable.
I am extremely picky about where I stay and I can be very uncomfortable if things are not spotless. I must say when we walked into our cabin I was VERY proud to say that this was MY idea. I didn't even bring groceries because I normally can not eat in a rental if things are not perfect. I must say because we arrived so late on Friday night, I got up very early and went to the grocery store so that I could make a mountain breakfast for everyone....
Very nice cabin, had great appliances and quality beds. Very nice!
I would highly recommend this to everyone!
This was our first "family" vacation. The boys 9 & 12 had a blast. Did a lot of tourist stuff and the cabin was perfect. We were all very excited to see bear prints in the mud outside the cabin...I guess you could say excited, maybe nervous is a good word too. Never did see the bear but the cabin next to us got the pleasure.
Have had many stays in Gatlinbury , this is by far the nicest cabin rentail I have ever stayed in. Beutiful,clean and all around super nice. Have told all my friends and family if you go to Gatlinburg you have to stay at Elk Springs
This was our 3rd visit to Elk Springs Resort within 6 months. We love it there! The cabins are brand new and are very modern. The cabin we stayed in this time, A Desire Fulfilled, was breathtaking with its floor to ceiling 2-story windows. The staff, especially Andy, is always very friendly and helpful. We can't wait to go back! The only negative was that the outlets in both bathrooms didn't work. Being a newer resort, we understand that they are still trying to get all the little kinks worked out. Overall, a wonderful place to stay!
Beautiful place and so relaxing. We highly reccommend the in-cabin massages....heavenly! We hope to make it back next year...or maybe this summer :-)
By chance we found Elk Springs Resort online and we are so glad we did! We have stayed there 2 times in 6 months and were very satisfied with each cabin. Every cabin is amazing and fully loaded with all and more than you would expect. The location is perfect. Reservation and on site staff are always very nice. The cabins are CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN! We will continue to be returning guests at Elk Springs Resort.
The cabin was amazing. The pictures made it look spacious and roomy, but it was perfect and cozy for 2-4 people. The kitchen amenities were just like home, along with the laundry machines downstairs.
Elk springs was a wonoderful retreat. I will recommend it in the future, getting to do all the check in and check out over the phone was fast and pleasant
We have booked cabin rentals in the smokey mountains for more than 17 years. This was by far the best experience. We were given the best service from the point of booking to departure. We will definitely book here next year. See you then!
We had a great time at the Desired Fullfilled cabin. However, would have loved a better view outside...not very scenic. Also, the pull out bed was not very comfortable.
While I would recommend this property to a friend, I would caution them to arrive before night. GPS and mapquest will not help you in finding the resort as it sits at the very top of the "hill/mountain." It was very new and clean and the amenties were more than enough to satisfy. Oh yes and word to the wise if heigts are a fear of yours ask for the cabins that sit at the bottom of the hill. lol
Thank you for the feedback. We do email directions to all users and the time of booking, at the time of full payment and then 3 days prior to check in. We recommend using these directions as they are very specific to avoid travel issues. The directions to the property are fairly easy, even at night, if you have the ones that we email to you. thanks again for staying with us and look forward to seeing you on a future stay!
It wasn't awful. We were cooking for 8 people 2 nights. There are no sponges, just washcloths to clean pans with, which got difficult. Also, it was impossible to clean the stove top because there were no cleaning supplies. Even a tiny bottle of cleaner would work, but we couldn't get some of the burnt food off the stove. The kitchen has pots and pans. When we arrived some of the pans had food still on them from previous guests. Not really Elk Springs' fault. But in order to cook for 8 people we had trouble because of the lack of deep pans or large mixing bowls. Again, it wasn't awful, we just struggled finding a way to cook/bake with the bowls we had there. I'm sure they don't expect many people like us to do that much cooking. But if you do, you might want to bring along some of your own bowls and pans just in case.
Our stay was everything we hoped it would be. The cabin and location were beautiful! The only suggestion we would make would be to find a better way to store trash. The bears on the porch getting into the trash was a bit too close to nature for us.
Hi Angela, thank you for the review. We have scheduled daily trash removal to remedy this. We appreciate you staying with us!
Upon arrival we found the cabin in wonderful condition it was very clean, things were in order and the cabin was very well kept. The location was perfect and the cabin it's self and the view were just beautiful. The cabin was just as nice as the pictures on the internet made it out to be. We had a wonderful weekend that I would gladly repeat. I would stay here or at any other of Elk springs cabins. The only thing that was frustrating was the help at the check in office. It was a young man, he was a nice young man and friendly but gave very poor directions on how to get up to the cabin. But after we found it, our weekend was great!
