Anniversary Get Away

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Having stayed at Elk Springs Reports several times before we knew our stay would be great. The master bath toilet is not bolted down and required balance and finesse to navigate. The master bath shower controls are very difficult, my wife could not even turn off the rain shower by herself and I needed a towel to grip the handle hard enough to shut the water off. Please change the handles to something other than a smooth plastic handle so others can use this comfortably, also some labeling would not hurt on the controls. Property was clean but we did have to evict a few spiders and cob webs. It should be worth noting there is no cellular service at all at this cabin, when we arrived we could not remember the code and had to drive over the mountain to get a signal to retrieve the code. Everything else was great.
Response from VrboOwner on Oct 29, 2026

Great Cabin With Minor Issues

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental.

Secret

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin was very clean! My only issue with this cabin is the tvs wouldn’t stay connected to the WiFi. No phone service and when you connect to the WiFi, it doesn’t work. The remote batteries were dead. Even though it’s May. The cabins are cold and I would’ve preferred the fire places work. Could’ve upgraded the coffee pot to a Keriug or had both. The parking at the cabin is a one way in/out. I wouldn’t stay at this cabin again.

Perfect location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at Secret Garden. Location was great for us to get to events we were attending. The only thing I would suggest to the owner is to upgrade the TV situation. It was March madness opening weekend so a lot of basketball on at night so a bigger TV would have been nice to be able to watch while playing pool. Nothing major but with how cheap TV’s are these days two larger TV’s would be easy upgrade. If it was different weekend we may not have ever turned them on. Wouldn’t stop me from staying there again though. lol
Response from VrboOwner on Mar 24, 2026
Thank you for your great review, Jack! We are so very pleased to hear that the location worked perfectly for your stay and made it easy to get to your events—thats always a big plus.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin is beautiful and everything we could have asked for. The pool table needs some TLC as one of the rails was loose, but that's a minor issue. I highly recommend staying here to anyone looking to stay in the area. My favorite perk was the seclusion of this cabin compared to others in the resort.
