  Elk Springs is a fantastic place to stay!!

  Left on 05/13/2013 for a stay in May 2013
  
  

  I highly recommend Elk Springs Resort. This is our 2nd trip to Gatlinburg and 2nd visit to Elk Springs. The cabins are extremely pleasant and comfortable and your privacy is always respected. During our stay, I never have to worry about being disturbed. However, the staff members are just a phone call away and are always very courteous, professional, and informative. The resort's proximity to town is a plus too - close enough for convenience but far enough away to feel secluded. We will definitely return for many more visits in the future. Our vacation experience to Gatlinburg can always be described in one word...Enjoyable!

  A Wonderful Finish

  Left on 04/23/2013 for a stay in April 2013
  
  

  We stayed initially at Bear Den, another wonderful cabin, and then decided to stay a few days longer at Fontana. The facilities were slightly better at Bear Den and we had a bee problem outside (hardly Elk Springs' fault though). Other than that Fontana was gorgeous and well worth the money. Indoor Jacuzzi was bigger than previous cabin.

  Some issues with property

  Left on 11/27/2012 for a stay in November 2012
  
  

  My husband and I both had issues with the furniture, neither one of us could sit on the sofa in the living room or the dining room chairs as they had NO support. The outside lights didn't work and we were in the dark when we came in at night. We had to change out light bulbs and the plumbing upstairs was UNSAT, we bought liquid plumber so the sink would drain and the toilet never flushed correctly. We loved the overall property but the issues prevented us from having a truly 100% enjoyable stay.

  Cabin Perfect....honeymoon not so much

  Left on 11/01/2012 for a stay in October 2012
  
  

  My husband and I rented the cabin in order to have a very small wedding ceremony on the balcony of The Fontana, followed by our honeymoon. The property was beautiful and clean. Due to weather we actually said our vows at the bottom of the staircase. The staff of Elk Springs were fantastic, our ordained minister was late and unsure if he was going to make it. One phone call to the staff and a replavement, in epeak season I might add, was on his/her way. Luckily, ours decided to join us but it meant so much there willingness to help out in such short notice. We did leave early due to my getting sick but I would recommend this location for many, many reasons

  Honeymoon or Heaven?

  Left on 10/21/2012 for a stay in October 2012
  
  

  My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon. We were genuinely upset when we had to leave Friday morning. Our time spent at Fontana was incredible. Our only complaints were a ladybug problem (but nothing we couldn't handle), the air conditioner is limited in temperatures (would've brought our fan had we known), and the directions from exit 435 had us thinking our turn onto Glades Rd would be soon- not several turns to keep on 321 later. That might need to be made more clear. But, none of these things were issue enough to ruin, or even put a damper on, our stay. We plan on returning as often as we can for anniversaries!!

  Do not rent in Elk Springs Resort. The pictures & info is misleading, the bed sheets were filthy & not changed after prior guests, barbecue rusted out, old junky furniture. When we
  complained to management just got excuses "we only manage it, it's up to the owner"
  Nice till they get your money. Not a luxury or clean cabin as advertised. They must write their own reviews.. Ruined our holiday we couldn't wait to leave & left early.

  Delighted w everything. Kitchen sparsely equipped but we think some of the dishes, bowls, etc, had migrated to the next cabin, which our son used. No bowls, jugs, potato peeler etc. Suggest 2 coffee filters be included in the starter kit. We will come back and prefer Fontana for light and cleanliness to the other 2 cabins we rented

  Nice Cabin

  Left on 06/06/2012 for a stay in June 2012
  
  

  My boyfriend and I stayed here for 5 days and really liked it. The down side is that the cabin is not as secluded as we thought it would be. There are neighbors on one side and the road is on the other side. The neighbors have a view of the hot tub, so that was a letdown. Although, the cabin was very nice, clean, cozy, and tastefully decorated. The kitchen was nice with new appliances but only had the bare essentials for cooking, (I brought quite a bit to cook with just in case and glad I did!) The jacuzzi was wonderful, it had plenty of room for us both to get in and snuggle! And the hot water was plenty hot and filled to tub up just fine! The cabin was tucked back in the Arts & Crafts District, and was a welcome reprieve from the hussle and bussle of downtown. There are some really nice shops down the hill and we enjoyed visiting them. Over all, we really enjoyed our stay at Fontana and would like to say at another of Elk Spring’s cabins; hopefully one more secluded!

  Left on 05/27/2012 for a stay in May 2012
  
  

  My new husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and it was perfect! I was worried that it wouldn't be as nice as the pictures online, but to our surprise it was even better in person. Everything was so beautiful and very clean! The hot tub was so well kept (looked brand new) and all the appliances in the kitchen were very modern and nice! It is the perfect romantic bungalow and my husband and I plan on going back for our 1 year anniversary. We could NOT have been any happier. It is was so cozy when we were rained in one afternoon and it's a very close drive to downtown Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge! We even had a picnic out on the gazebo on the back porch! Stay here and you won't regret it!

  Smaller than the photos lead you to believe;We are not used to such close quarters. Extremely well kept!Staff was great.Love the text check-in. Fantastic assortment of kitchen details-didn't have to bring anything and the space was well put together. Bedroom quite small w/ an intimidatingly low ceiling fan. Livingroom sofa too soft to be comfortable. Upstairs very nice, jacuzzi was uncomfortably small and the water got cold before the tub was half-full. Nice decor throughout-not Hokey. Neighbors have a great view of the hot tub and it needed a table for our beverages and robes. Would have liked dining on the balcony. Great view of the pool table area from the road-needs a cafe curtain. Overall we had a wonderful vacation in the quaint cozy cabin.Would recommend this resort- Fontana and the other cabins are beautiful.

  The cabin was very nice and with great amenities; including a pooltable, hot tub,5 televisions, and jacuzzi. My husband and I enjoyed a two night getaway for our anniversary. The cabin was extremely clean, the bed was big and comfortable, and decor was very tasteful. The only recommendation that I would make for improvement would be that the cabin needs a larger hot water heater. The hot water ran out before the jacuzzi could be filled above the jets; which was a real disappointment. Other than that, we had a fantastic time and we would go back.

  My wife and I rented this cabin for a few days just to get away for a little alone time. We loved it. The cabin is situated in such a way that anyone staying at the cabin next to you would have to go out of their way to disturb you while on the deck. The over all decor was very tasteful to the point that my wife ( who has a strong dislike for an all wood decor) was very pleased and even said she would not mind living there. Thanks for a wonderful get away!

  This past May my wife and I stayed in Fontana for six nights for our honeymoon. The cabin was by far better than any other cabin I've stayed in before. I've been to Gatlinburg numerous times and can say that Elk Spring Resort is the best place to stay.
  It was very clean, very private, and a great place for a Honeymoon. My wife and I didn't have to worry about our privacy a bit. It's a great place for a family vacation or couples’ get away. Fontana is the perfect cabin for two. The cabin was clean and in
  great condition. I recommend Elk Springs Resort and will be coming back again in May next year. Thank you Elk Springs Resort!!!

  Fire place never worked. Maintenance came, left note it was fixed. We followed directons listed in manual, and it still never worked. Also, we had a ant problem in master bathroom. I called and asked management to call us so we could discuss issue. Management never called.

  Hi Justin, thank you for the review. We do apologize for the inconvenience. While rare, we do sometimes have an issue with ants and lady bugs. We do have monthly pest control but sometimes due to weather changes we have had some ants and ladybugs appear in cabins. The good thing is that we can address them very quickly since we have maintenance on site and I'm happy we were able to resolve the ant problem very quickly for you. After we got the fireplace working it appears that the safety mechanism did fail and shut off the fireplace. We prefer that the system errs on the side of safety. We did order the replacement parts for the fireplace but unfortunately we were unable to get them and fix the fireplace during your stay. We do apologize!

  We LOVE Gatlinburg and Fontana. The only way it could have been any better is if we were unable to see our neighbors. We didn't realize it was right next door to another cabin. Otherwise, we absolutely LOVED it and look forward to staying with Elk Springs again.

  Hi George, thanks for your comments. We have rockers and tables on the fontana deck. Pictures are important for us. All the pictures on our website are accurate and to confirm it is a wooded view, not a mountain view out the back of fontana. Fontana is one of our most popular cabins due to it's cozy feeling, being a true log cabin and unique architectual features.

  The Only Way to Vacation in the Smokies

  Left on 07/13/2010 for a stay in July 2010
  
  

  The cabin was very clean, conveniently located just north of Gatlinburg and an easy drive to Pigeon Forge. The entire area is beautiful and Elk Springs sits right in the middle. Only dissatisfaction the wife and I had was the lack of a table and chairs on the deck and the DVD players didn't work very well.
  I would recommend this cabin again and again and again.

  My wife and I spent our honeymoon in Gatlinburg in the Elks Springs Resort. We were in Fontana. This cabin was beautiful and very clean. The area was very quiet and made for a great honeymoon getaway location. Many other cabins in the resort were also occupied. The larger cabins in this resort would be great for family vacations also. I'd definitely recommend this facility to others and would stay here again.

  Nice cabin, but needs some work

  Left on 05/21/2009 for a stay in May 2009
  
  

  We enjoyed the cabin (great hot tub, gas grill), with a few exceptions -- ants EVERYWHERE!!! -- lots of dead bugs in light fixtures, lots of dust -- did not look like the cabin had been cleaned in a while -- very wobbly dining table.
  Lots of bees outside (no one's fault, obviously -- just an FYI for May visitors)

  It was harder to find the property office than the cabins... Would have been nice to have some shampoo in the cabins along with the soap, but not a deal breaker. Also, we had a couple of lightbulbs that were out and there was a problem with the toilet paper holder in the upstairs bath. Nice jacuzzi and hot tub. Very relaxing porch and rocking chairs. Overall, we were very pleased and would stay there again.

  "Woods" not Mountain View

  Left on 03/10/2009 for a stay in March 2009
  
  

  The Fontana Cabin at Elk Springs Resort was a very nice cabin with lots of amenities. However, we were disappointed in the lack of privacy with the cabins being situated so closely together. We also expected a "mountain" view but found that the cabin offered more of a "woodsy" view instead. Our stay was very nice overall but that was mainly due to the fact that the cabin next door was vacant during our entire stay. Otherwise, we would have been very disappointed with the spacing of the cabins since we were on our honeymoon and the Fontana cabin was listed as a "Romantic and Secluded" honeymoon cabin.

  Lights out, hot water out, so rough it out. Jacuzzi dirty and co

  Left on 01/07/2009 for a stay in January 2009
  
  

  My boyfriend and I stayed here for three days. At 4:15 p.m., 45 minutes before we arrived, we received a voice mail stating, currently, the lights in the 1st floor bathroom are not working, but the electrician is on the way to fix it. When we arrived at the cabin, it looked fantastic on the inside. But, only one light on the 1st floor worked, and it was in the kitchen. Also, the fire place would stay lit. So, we called the toll free number, and the people on the property was gone for the day. I unpacked our groceries to prepare dinner. ALL the dishes in cabinet and drawers were either dirty, broken, or rusted. I had to wash ALL, I mean ALL the dishes in the house upon arrival. Trying not to ruin our romantic weekend, I suggested we get in the hot tub until the electrician arrived. We got in the hot tub, and the water was COLD and DIRTY. This was extremely disturbing because you have to pay a $35.00 fee at the time of booking to have the tub drained and cleaned. Then, we went upstairs to get in the Jacuzzi and there was no hot water!!! Pist, I called the toll free number again. I requested to speak to someone on the property. I was given a FL #. I called and the guy was in Vegas. I told him about the lights on the 1st floor, fire place, hot tub, and Jacuzzi bath on 2nd floor. He said he call me back in 10 minutes. So, 15 minutes passed and I called him back. He had the audacity to suggest that we go outside, in the dark, use our cell phone as light, find the fuse box, and try to reset it. At this point I was , eventually someone came out and reset the fuse. It restored the lights on the first floor, but the lights in the bathroom was out the whole trip. We went to the office Saturday afternoon, and was told the manager our concerns. She stated everything would be fixed when we got back from town. Needless to say, it wasn't. Someone added more water to the hot tub and that's it.

  The only problem was an infestation of ants in the bathroom. Reading the visitors book it looks like this is a recurring problem. I am not sure how you deal with this, but perhaps you should.

  Their site says property is secluded. It is the first place in a row of homes..neighbors see all of your porch and yard. Drive by to get to their cabins. You are ON the main drive. Entries in guest book show since March show upstairs whirlpool leaks into downstairs bedroom- still does-no warning-glad we read book and were watching to move our things in case. Ants are all over the bathroom. Even with using the "raid" they provide. No millipedes in Oct. Phoone does not work. Hot tub was overflowing with bubbles on arrival-smelled like spa tx./couldn't have been cleaned. They cleaned partly- still oily after they serviced it. We have one at home- it shouldn't have been. Freezer had strong chemical odor- threw ice away and bought some, then open ice bag had odor too- needed a cooler. Tried 6 times to call and report check out-no return call and never did reach anyone. We will use another agency. This was our seventh year coming to G Burg and worst stay.

  We apologize for the bad experience. We have recently taken over the management of this cabin due to quality issues as these are unacceptable. We have remedied the problems you reported and have proactively put procedures in place to avoid these in the future.
