The Lumberjack cabin was a perfect setting for our family reunion, with plenty of space for each family unit and great common areas for share times.
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lumberjack! The location was perfect for the hiking we wanted to do in the Smoky Mtn Park. The accommodations were perfect for ourselves, children and grandchildren. We would (and have) recommend this to our friends and family.
Loved the size and amenities at the cabin Lumberjack Lodge. Any problems we had door lock/tv not connected were quickly handled/ very proffesional/friendly staff
We would like to see more towels at the facility we had to share towels amoungst our spouses. Also the gravel road wasn't the easiest for the bikes.
Thanks for the review. We do have extra towels located in the linen closets and cabinets in the bathrooms. Should you require additional towels, please contact us - we are less than 5 minutes from your cabin and would be happy to provide them.
I would recommend this cabin. It was clean,comfortable and peacefull. It was just like the pictures. The location was perfect,out of the way but close to everything.Booking my next stay allready.
I was planning a romantic getaway during the Christmas hoidays and usually plan atrip to NYC, however, Elksprings Resort, out of the blue was recommended as an option. Now, the idea of a cabin retreat instead of the the big city, initially, did not interest me. However, once you view the area and these amazing homes set in the the sheer majesty of God's handywork, I could not have asked for a more satisfying, enjoyable and memorable time. I cant wait to go there in the spring/summer!! And, The property manager and staff went well beyond the call of duty! On a Five star scale, elksprings is a 10!
What an awesome experience! My family and I loved everything about this cabin. The beds are so comfortable, the theater room out of this world, the kitchen and living room would satisfy even the most die-hard cynic. Never did the 10 of us encroach upon each other while we relaxed in the jacuzzi, played pool or air hockey, or watched movies in the theater room. We are already planning a return trip and everyone we know will be told to make Elk Springs Resort their only place to stay for every trip to the Smokies. I know it will be my only place to stay forever more. Thanks to the wonderful and helpful staff for all they did and the express check-in/check-out is just too cool! Love your resort!!!!!!
Cannot wait to return and enjoy the views
We had 7 adults and 6 children stay there and we all had a great experience. The cabin was beautiful and clean. We would consider staying at that resort again.
Property was as good as it looks on the web site. It was very comfortable. It's clean and a fun place to stay. It IS IN Bear Country. We really enjoyed seeing Mommy Bear and Her FOUR Cubs even though it is a little intimidating to have a Bear right outside your door. Be a little responsible and you'll have NO Problem. This property is worth the visit. It's probably the BEST One we have had for our family vacations in the past four years. We called for trash pickup twice and they were very prompt. If the rest of the properties are like the Lumberjack Lodge you have got a winner which ever one you pick. We never had to visit the office, we just called for an express check-in and when we left we called and checked out. No wasted time getting the vacation started.
We loved our stay as the cabin is just like the pictures. The only frustrations was that there is no cell phone receptionand that the trash bins in the large group cabins are not big enough.
when we came up there to stay we had no idea what to expect. we have stayed in other cabins in N.C. and it was not a good VACA. but this trip and this cabin was AWSOME our friends came with us there were 8 people in the house and no one was crowded. we all had our own rooms and we all had our own floors really! the in side was huge and very clean and decorated beautifully. i will be telling everyone about how great it was. and the steahly's and friends will be back. we cant wait to rent another cabin maybe smaller just for the two of us. i know if the three story lumber jack was amazing i cant wait to see what there smaller more romantic cabins look like. hope everyone enjoys is like we did.
The cabin was awesome. The family had tons of fun. It was perfect distance from downtown Gatlinberg. The trip was a perfect getaway.
Otherwise, it was great and we had a wonderful time. Loved the decks, the movie room, the beds were so comfortable!!! We would definitely stay at Elk Springs again!!
Hi Molly! We are doing a spring inventory of all units and are replenishing what has been lost, damaged and missing. We do this periodically. Sorry it was an inconvenience!
Plenty of space and activities for all family members.
Cabin as advertised and ready when we arrived. Hot tub heated and ready to go despite 15 degree weather! Kitchen with new appliances and most everything you'd need for cooking and serving. Resort management called on day of arrival to make sure we had lock code since we were going to be late.On downside, no instructions for using anything including fireplace. No clean-up instructions, rules for using hot tub, etc. Home theater room was not set up. Had to figure out that projector was not plugged in (had to use table to stand on to get up to it) and then had to figure out that video cables were plugged in wrong! Once it was working though it was a real treat.
We stayed at Lumberjack Lodge...what a beautiful cabin. And the amenities were great! It would be great for a family reunion.
I am very satisfied with our stay. We rented the Lumberjack Lodge for an annual business leadership meeting we have in October. Everything was as advertised and met our needs extremely well. I highly recommend Elk Springs rentals to anyone considering. Also, this location was very near the artisan area of Gatlinburg.
The Lumberjack Cabin at Elk Springs Resort was wonderful. My husband and I went with 4 other couples, who all enjoyed the stay. Although it was rainy the majority of the stay we enjoyed staying in and watching movies in the theater and playing games. The beds in all rooms are to die for. They were sooo soft and comfy. This is our second time staying at Elk Springs and we would recommend this resort to anyone wanting to get away from the city life.
The Lumberjack Lodge was just wonderful. We had a beautiful snowy weekend and made many great memories. My only complaints were the lack of cookie sheets, large chili pot and measuring cups/spoons. There were 8 of staying for the weekend and one small cookie sheet makes for many many many batches of biscuits before everyone in the group could eat. The chili pot provided was not large enough to make a big pot of chili. I feel like a lodge that has 5 bedrooms should be stocked with cooking supplies to feed that many. Overall, we will absolutely do it again!!!!
Hi Kari, we agree! We are restocking our larger cabins with more cookware to better accomodate the large groups. We appreciate your feedback.
We stayed at this beautiful house for a big family get together and loved every minute. The only item we'd pass along is that there are a very limited number of bath towels provided (considering the house sleeps 15) so if you're coming with a large group, bring your own extra towels. We loved this resort and would definitely recommend it to others!
after road is paved, it will be a great place to stay. overall had a great time
This was a wonderful location for our large family and we had room to roam and things to do when Dollywood was not open. I plan to return.
The cabin was great. Lots of room. I really liked the home theater, though we didn't have a remote for the DVD player until our last night there. I liked have TVs/DVD players in each bedroom. Beds were comfy, as was the furniture. No real downsides to renting this cabin, though the kitchen could use more utensils and cookware. Also, bears seem to enjoy breaking into the trashcans at night and making a mess. We will likely rent from this company again.
Had a great time at this cabin! Only minor complaints, such as broken can opener, only one pool stick for the pool table, and a ripped bedspread.
Likes: spacious, ability to sleep 16 (with two fold out couches), Wifi, theater room, clean, great deck space, entertainment room, TVs in all rooms, washer/dryer.Dislikes: inadequate hot water capacity for this house size, small hot tub for this house size, non-HD service on the TVs and theater room is non-HD, the street leading to the house isn't paved and muddy.All in all, the place is a great place to stay. I would recommend it highly if they would fix the hot water issue.
