This cabin was absolutely ideal for our getaway! It was clean and cozy and had a well-equipped kitchen with everything we needed. We even got the thrill of spotting not one, but two bears during our stay! The first encounter happened right when we arrived at night—my husband stepped outside to grab our luggage, only to quickly return, saying, “Bear!” A fully grown bear was just a few feet from the door. The next morning, we spotted another bear strolling down the driveway. So, if you stay here, keep an eye out and stay alert! We loved the excitement, though the nighttime surprise is something we won’t soon forget.The cabin was clean, and the sheets, pillows and towels provided were clean. The beds were comfy, and we enjoyed having the extra blankets provided. We liked that there was extra storage in the bathroom downstairs for our supplies. The living room, dining and kitchen were well-equipped and looked exactly like the pictures. We also enjoyed the pool table, rocking chairs, and balconies to sit outside and watch the birds and wildlife. However, the cabin could do with some deep cleaning of the return and bath vents, the décor, like the floral arrangements on the walls, as well as the blinds and window surroundings. It’s worth checking that all the smoke detectors are functioning; the detectors in the top rooms had no lights, which made me wonder if they were working. The Wi-Fi cut out most of our stay, but it wasn’t a big issue. The cabin is tucked away up in the mountains, surrounded by gorgeous scenery. The drive up involves narrow, winding roads that can feel daunting at night, but you get used to it. It’s close to town for easy access to essentials, the park, and Gatlinburg, yet far enough to feel wonderfully secluded and peaceful. We will rent from Elk Springs Resort again and would recommend this cabin.
