"Not great- avoid Bear creek
The cabin has a moisture issue. Thus, upon entering the cabin one is immediately hit with a damp, moldy, musty smell. The cleaning/maintenance staff obviously knew of the issue because there was an ozone machine already running in the cabin. The ozone machine was removed by maintenance early in day one & then re-installed after we complained. The place needs a dehumidifier & a deep cleaning. We left a day early. Management has not responded to our complaint. "

Great location! Awesome creek that runs in front of deck and nice clean cabin. Will definitely be back again."

"Bear Creek Cabin
Overall, the cabin was good! We had 4 adults, and it did seem a bit small for all of us. It was very clean and welcoming. We were there for 7 nights and there were not enough extras such as paper towels, toliet paper, dish soap and dishwasher soap. The hot tub was great. The location was nice being close to town,however it was close to the road and at times was a bit noisy. "

The only thing we were wanting was a hotter hot tub. Other than that this was a fantastic area between pigeon forge and gaitlinburg and a nice cozy cabin the tub in the room was perfect."

"Literal Bear Creek
This cabin was absolutely amazing! I have been wanting to stay on ski mountain for a long time but didn't want to deal with crazy driveways. This was an easy drive up and flat parking. The cabin itself had a very rustic feel with all the modern amenities. The hot tub was amazing! We were visited by a bear for the first four nights of our trip until the snow hit. I named him Oliver after our big cat that looks like a black bear. Elk springs Resort was a great to work with and checked on us frequently via text. And they were not automated texts. Great experience! Will definitely stay again!"

"Beautiful stay at Bear Creek
The cabin was beautiful. One of the bathroom doors was locked from the inside when we arrived so maintenance had to come to unlock it. It was clean. We had no other issues. "

"Horrible Experience
The cabin smelled of mold the entire time. Mold was growing on the bathroom wall and in the shower. Spiders everywhere. Reported it and left for a few hours. I was told they took care of the spiders and sprayed and that there was no mold. We get back to the cabin and nothing was done. Same spiders everywhere and nothing had been sprayed. My husband and I both got sick. Never rent from these people again."

"Bear Creek
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bear Creek cabin. We wanted quiet time to recharge with the option to access a few activities or restaurants. That is exactly what this cabin offered. Quiet, off the beaten path, yet still only a few minutes drive to whatever we wanted. It is small, but not cramped and also well-equipped for cooking and hot tub relaxing. Bonus: We saw a black bear!"

"Smokey Mountain Vacation 2024
The house was clean and the location was great. We had to contact management about how to lock the door with the keypad and their reply was in a timely manner. The only issue was at night some animal or animals would go under the house and crawl up in the wall between the bottom bathroom and bedroom where the plumbing runs to upstairs"

"Smoky Mountain getaway
The cabin was perfect and the creek out front made for an intimate setting. The cabin was clean, and everything worked properly, including the hot tub and the "real wood" fireplace which there was plenty of split wood for. "

"Nice little cabin close to town
Bear Creek is very close to town so it's easy to get to all of the attractions in Gatlinburg. We enjoyed the hot tub each day and the indoor jacuzzi tub was great too! The cabin itself was well maintained and clean. The bathrooms are small but nice. The kitchen was adequately stocked with cookware. We would have enjoyed a better grill to use. This one is only a picnic style grill. The parking is shared with the neighbor cabin but it is separate and private from them. The creek was very nice to listen to but it is next to a fairly busy road so there is car noise. Overall we had a great stay and loved being able to escape the hustle and bustle downtown but still be close to attractions and restaurants. "

"Bear Creek Stay
This cabin is only 5 minutes away from downtown Gatlinburg. Yet the privacy is awesome, we enjoyed the hot tub and the inside jacuzzi the layout of the cabin was cozy and beautiful. The driveway is on flat ground and they're virtually no steps to get into the cabin.You can hear the mountain stream from anywhere on the property. We really enjoyed the wood burning fireplace. We grilled hamburgers next to the mountain stream one evening, it don't get better than that! Will be back!!!!"

"Not worth a 9hr drive.
Dirty, the staff was not helpful, several maintenance issues, the cabin was not ready at check in time then I still had to call and get the door code 20 mins past the rescheduled check in time then I arrive to a dirty cabin. Pet hair, blood stain on one of the bed sheets, and dirty hand smudges on the fridge and freezer doors."

"Caviar Price, But 2 Star Motel Quality
1st the pros - hot tub was awesome, as were the exterior chairs on the porch. Sleeping areas had kingsize bed and the mattresses were incredible. Sufficient towels were provided to allow for hot tub use and showers. Parking was good and allowed for 2 vehicles. Location allows up to 4 maybe 5 vehicles, but the parking is shared with another cabin. Kitchen is serviceable and the refrigerator is a good size. Staff provided plenty of replacement garbage bags which was nice. The best perk was they allowed dogs and only charged $50. The front of the cabin exterior was clean and maintained. Cons - the drive up Ski Mntn Rd was very treacherous, be prepared. The description and pictures were misleading. We assumed there was more property to allow our dog to play and that was not the case. The cabin is literally 40 ft from Ski Mntn Rd, with only the creek between you and the road. Furniture was rearranged for pictures to give the impression of a larger living space, but it was very crowded. Lower level bedroom is very tight and had no closet. They may argue an armoire was in the room, but with a king size bed the armoire could not be opened,the bedroom was very dark and did not have an overhead light. In addition, there was only one night stand and you had to crawl over the bed due to storing your luggage on the floor next, and we only had 2 small roller bags! Bathrooms are tight; there is no room to place beauty products and the showers need overhead lights - it was very dark once the shower curtain was closed. Loft bedroom had more space to maneuver, but come-on a night stand on each side of the bed should be a given. Bring your own pillows unless you are a fan of feather pillows. The back of the cabin exterior needs to be cleanup up (old cut stumps, hoses, etc, and it literally against a hill, so there are no views, except for of the houses up the hill. Not a tranquil setting with the traffic on Ski Mntn Rd and the price was over the top for motel quality ameniti"

"Smoky adventure
We will definitely come and stay in these cabins again! However I would recommend a dehumidifier for the warmer months. Also we found the tub not clean and some extra supplies would be nice."
Aug 13, 2023 - , Bowling Green, KY
"Disappointed, but love the National Park
The cabin was disappointing to be honest. The images and description didn’t give a good image of what we found. The cabin is directly on a major uphill road with considerable traffic. When sitting on the porch cars and truck are loudly traveling by blocking the sound of the stream. The picture doesn’t show that the road is about 15 feet from the stream. The outside areas had not been cleaned and little to no comfortable restful space was found.
Upon entering the cabin we were hit with an extremely strong mold or urine smell. All we could figure was that the couches needed to be replaced. We struggled to sit on them to watch the news. Once we did our clothes carried the sent and needed to be washed unless we wanted to carry the smell with us.
The upstairs bed was awesome. By keeping the windows open we were able to minimize the smell from downstairs, even though it was always present.
It didn’t seem that the cabin had been cleaned by a quality crew. Cob webs, filthy windows and drapes were throughout.
Now for some positive. Booking was extremely easy, Elk Springs resorts were prompt in contact to us, great support, and very friendly. If I was them I would consider removing this cabin from their rental program until these issues could be resolved. As renters of more than 10 different cabins in the mountains this was the only one that was such a disappointment."

"Cobwebs and Dust oh my!
The cabin is a small cozy two bedroom. The first bedroom is on the main floor and the second is on the second floor open loft. The cabin is right on ski mountain road and the front of the cabin faces the road. It does have a nice small creek between the cabin and the road. If you are renting the cabin with the plans to sit outside with a view I would pick another. The cabin has all of the basic stuff inside for your stay. Thankfully it is only about a 8 - 10 minute drive to downtown Gatlinburg and a few minutes to the top of Ober Mountain.
Unfortunately the cabin was extremely dusty and had tons of cobwebs all over the ceilings. The ceiling fan over the loft bed had a thick layer of dust as well. For some reason two of the three tvs had their hdmi cables unplugged from the tvs. Overall everything else was okay however we did not use the hot tub or jetted tub due to the concerns of cleanliness.
If they actually did a nice spring cleaning the cabin would be a nice cozy place to stay. I would strongly not recommend staying until then. "

"Cute and great location
This is a cute little cabin and is just far enough out of town, but still close to everything. We very much enjoyed our stay. Perfect for a small family, but it was a little cramped for 2 couples on our trip, just due to lack of privacy with the loft and the small downstairs bedroom. The king size beds were very comfortable! A small shelf added on the wall in the downstairs bath would be nice to keep toiletries on. Vanity space is very small! Overall a good experience. We would stay here again!"

"Family Trip
Cabin is in good shape BUT needs a deep cleaning. Location is Very close to the winding road where you will park. Very close to downtown Gatlinburg. Limited selection of grocery stores but a small market is close. Had an issue with TV remote but a very nice maintenance man came quickly and showed us the proper operation. The directions in the cabin book need updated. Bed pillows need replaced. "

"Bear Creek lives up to its name!
Our family enjoyed this cozy cabin so much! The kids loved the hot tub and staying in the loft bed upstairs. We all enjoyed checking out the creek for crawdads and salamanders during the day and watching Harry Potter together in the cabin at night. We even got to see a bear! The cabin is very conveniently located. You are up in the mountains but still quite close to downtown Gatlinburg. Overall, the perfect stay in the mountains for our family. "

"Christmas Adventure
I want to start with how much we enjoyed our cozy Christmas in the cabin. However, there are some things that need to be addressed. First, the cabin was not cleaned to the level expected. Out of ten, the cleanliness was a 4. We were there for 10 days. The pots and pans were good for small quick meals, but we had to go purchase a can opener (the provided one did not work), a large soup pot and other small items. The jetted bath tub did not work at arrival, but was repaired two days later. The next day it was not working again (my husband repaired so that it could be used). In all it was able to be used 2 times due to being broken and then lack of water due to frozen water lines. We were reassured 3 times that there was a Christmas tree. However, upon arrival there was not one. We had to go find one as we had 2 small children there for Christmas morning. The windows and doors are not insulated and you can feel the wind blowing in. While there is work that needs to be done, the management company was great to respond and always communicated with us. I can see us potentially using Elk Springs again. "

"Nice cabin
We enjoyed this cabin & loved the wood burning fireplace! It doesn’t have a great view & you hear all of the road traffic. But, overall the cabin is nice & the beds sleep good."

"Bear Creek
Another great vacation rental from Elk Springs. The property was very clean and nicely appointed with updated, basic dinnerware and cooking utensils. The showers are newly tiled.
If you have dogs that need more than a quick visit outdoors to do their business, I would try another location. This property, as advertised, is right along a road that has significant traffic. Walking dogs alongside this road isn't a safe option. Other than that, it's a great property to rest your head after a long day of exploring the Smoky Mountains.
Bear in mind the grill is charcoal and the fireplace is wood burning."

"Bear Creek Honeymoon
Very beautiful setting! Loved the creek flowing by. We were there only 10 minutes unpacking when a bear took our Yeti cooler off of our pickup ! Never did find it. Cabin was nice. Couch’s could have been a little cleaner. There wasn’t any starter washing machine detergent and jacuzzi didn’t work. Tried resetting GFI plug but still didn’t work. A lot of hair coming out of jets when tub was filled, then tub wouldn’t turn on. Did not report."

"Wonderful Week At Bear Creek
Our week at Bear Creek was full of cherished memories to say the least. We got married on the deck at the cabin on 4/27 with Pastor Jody Secaur and his wife....along with our big ole baby girl Bailey (Mastiff). We are so thankful Elk Springs approved her stay, seeing that she is well over the weight limit...LOL!! Bear Creek was so cozy and comfortable, we will definitely return. Having the creek right out front was an extra special added bonus. Bailey couldn't drink enough mountain water and we couldn't have slept any better listening to that wonderful flowing sound of the water. Thanks again Elk Springs for a wonderful week!!!"

Although the cabin is close to the road the creek flowing in front makes it not matter. Love the sound of the running stream. Was very relaxing. Plenty of wood available but we brought our own ax to cut it smaller."

"Little Family Retreat
The cabin was nice and well taken care of. The bridge over the creek was a big hit with my toddler and he loved watching the water. We brought two dogs with us and they settled right into the house and had plenty to explore around the cabin. Although the cabin is close to the road, the trees and creek still gave us the feel of privacy and the outdoors. The drive up to the cabin was scenic and provided wonderful views. Nice place to be even in the winter! "

"Good location, cozy cabin
We stayed here on a whim in January of 2022. We loved the cabin location - it's more accessible than a lot of other cabins because the driveway is flat. Very close to downtown Gatlinburg as well as the National Park.
The road noise is a little loud, so if you're a light sleeper that might be something to note.
Hot tub was great, the property amenities were great. The only bummer is the upstairs shower doesn't have much water pressure.
We liked this property and enjoyed our stay, overall. "

"creekside serinity
We enjoyed our stay very much and loved seeing and hearing the creek. We loved the christmas lights and the motion outdoor lights. We drove past it first time since the small sign just said the other cabins name. The cabin was cozy and the beds were very comfortable. Some potential improvements - the lower bedroom did not have enough room to move around. That armoire was a waste of space and in the way. The couches were worn out and hopefully be replaced soon, could have used a few more towels and would have ben nice to have more nice outdoor chairs like the other cabin. Overall we liked this cabin and the location was perfect - close to town and easy to get to."

"Smelly Pigpen
The cabin was in a good location. Our complaints were the sofas were dirty and smelled. We bought throws to cover them up before sitting on them. The bedrooms were so crowded you couldn’t get around the beds. Nowhere to put your luggage or hang up any clothes. So dusty my daughter’s asthma was bothering her. Lighting in downstairs bedroom was non existent. "

"Named bear creek cabin for a reason
Cabin was nice, quiet, rustic. Location great. Wished we could have used more of the cabins amenities, such as the grill, picnic table, hot tub, and porch But because of 2 reasons, one the rain and two the guest book mentioned bears like to frequent the back of the cabin, have been seen in the hot tub we did not feel it was safe to eat outside, nor use the tub in pitch dark at night with no covered porch, or outside protective enclosure near the hot tub and picnic table. It really needs a covered porch, so guests aren't trapped inside. Bears are great from a distance but this visit we had an opportunity to witness up close. At the neighbor cabin next door, they left their car unlocked one day. At about 1030am my brother-in-law (b-i-l), spouse and 2 dogs were outside sitting on the swing. My (b-i-l) heard a car door open, but didn't see anyone. He heard it again then seen that the was door open. He next seen a bear standing up with its paws on his car. He told my spouse, and they sat quietly, the bear next came up to the bridge and started to come over. My spouse moved the dogs to inside the cabin, and told me about the bear. Bear walked down the main street, cars stopping. We went to the cabin next door to tell them and they admitted they did not lock their car and stated they had McDonald's last night. The bear had opened their car, and gone thru it and the center console. The next day a momma bear and 4 cubs crossed the creek. I realized it's named bear creek cabin for a reason. The downstairs bedroom is small with the large bed in it, no room to walk. We did not use the side door to the deck, could not get around the kitchen table. Couches could be leather, cloth has seen it day and traps dirt, sweat of others. Wish people wouldn't keep pets locked in bathrooms, there are scratches inside. We use crates."

"It Was Relaxing
Falling asleep to the waters of the creek outside the cabin was so peaceful. The Jacuzzi outside felt great and very clean. Everything was clean except for the Jacuzzi tub inside, had someone else’s lashes on the side of it. I had to reckless the tub and the jets once they turn on it was semi brown and o got out of it. Other than that everything else was good."

"Black Bears
Delightful stay. The cabin was clean and the creek was cold. It was tucked away back from the road with lots of privacy. We saw bears in the area, so we waited until the last night to grill the ribeyes we brought. Sure enough, about 45 minutes later, a large one was on the property. "

"Cozy Getaway
The Bear Creek Cabin was precious! It was the most relaxing trip we have ever taken to Gatlinburg! The temperature was so pleasant up on the mountain compared with the heat of the summer down on the Strip. Our doggie loved it so much--she even splashed in the creek on the property. We will definitely stay here again our next trip up! Thank you for making our trip so homey and cozy! "

Awesome place! Loved the cabin, loved the fireplace, beds were great, water and showers were awesome...only thing that could have been better was a little more warning about being so close to the road, the pictures are very misleading. Will definitely be back!"

"A Mouse Tale
This would have been a nice vacation rental, but the cabin had a bad problem with mice in the walls and ceilings. They would run around all night long in the walls to the point where my family lost a lot of sleep with all the noise and clambering. We were supposed to be there 2 more nights but we checked out early since pest control was never told to come out even after we called the resort company after the first night. We received a refund for the 2 nights we didn’t stay there (no other cabins were available) but the resort company has been avoiding my requests for additional compensation. We had to cut our vacation short and missed activities we had planned. Really disappointed."

"This was a nice spot during the holidays
Although we were surprised that it was next door to another cabin (we were expecting a little more seclusion), the facilities were lovely, and we were thrilled to be able to bring the dog. Everything was in good shape and the stream in the front was a great touch. We'd rent here again, for sure."

"Not what I was expecting from Elk Springs
Upstairs bathroom was locked from the inside, unable to use for the week of our stay. Upstairs bed is broken. Back of downstairs toilet so loose that I am surprised it did not leak. Dishwasher did not work properly. Main kitchen sink tap loose. Cabin very much smaller than pictures leads you to believe. You can only enter beds from one side comfortably. Our two suitcases took up the couch for most of the stay. Unit advertised as dog friendly with almost no place to walk them for their duties. The picture with this review looks like there is a lot of space to walk your dog. Don't be fooled it is all rock and steep."

"Convenient access to Gatlinburg,Smoky Mountains,Pigion Forge
Short drive to attractions. Cabin met all our needs and we spent a relaxing time there for 9 nights. Nice bubbling brook if you could here it above the road noise,and air conditioning. To much traffic for my taste, no place to go for a walk without getting into car and driving 5 minutes to National Park trail. Not safe to walk on road,no shoulder. When we were there heat and air conditioning ductwork really needed cleaning living room furniture showing a lot of wear and a few cobwebs above bed upstairs. Very little room on sides of beds to get in and out. Rooms would be nicer with queen size beds. No discounts offered for longer stay. As far as recommending for friend yes and no telling about comments above."

"Super cute cabin but loud road beside it.
It was a very cute, rustic cabin! It was perfect for a quick weekend for my husband and me. The only thing we didn't like and probably would not come back for was the road is right beside the cabin and it was quite loud especially while trying to sleep. "

"This cabin did not help in our vacation of relaxation
First of all, the pictures you share online are deceiving. It looks like you are back off of the road and there is wooded area around you when actually the cabin butts up against a dirt hill. Also, the bedroom downstairs is dark, small and hard to get around in. If we had two other guests, staying in that room would have been sad. The upstairs area was nice and roomy. Our hot tub did not work the first night we were there, Elk Springs Resorts were quick to get someone there to fix it, but he topped it off with cold water so it took some time to heat up again. We had one night to enjoy the tub and then it stopped working again. The Resort did show up again and told us that if it was not working that meant the water was too low and we could fill it up with the hose. We did, but it had to warm up again. I believe we were only able to use it two times in the five days we were there. "

Kept smelling dog odor while eating. After a few minites realized the dishes stank like a dog. I guess someone used a rag on them that had been used on a dog. Pretty discusting."

"Another great stay in the Smokey's
Everything was nice. Check in was hassle free and the cabin was clean and ready when we arrived. Parking wasn't ideal but it was OK. Someone took out the cabin signs on a post because of their location so you have to be careful there. The cabin is in a great location, not far at all from down town."

This cabin was superb, and very clean. It was one of the best stays we've had since we've been coming to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. If we come back, we are definitely considering renting this cozy little cabin again. You're going to love this spot, and let me tell you, location, location, location!!! It's minutes away from all the shopping and dining of Gatlinburg!"

"Very cozy cabin
The cabin was very homey. We went at Christmas time and there were was a Christmas tree and decirations which was really nice. There was plenty of firewood to keep the fire place going. The place is small but worked fine for us. The upstairs bedroom is definitely nicer. The downstairs bedroom is very small and you can't open the armoire much because it hits the bed and then the bathroom is next to it kind of in the kitchen. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The stove needs looked at as one of the burners didn't work and the oven parkway a really long time to heat up but we didn't call. We did make a call about the hot tub and they were bery quick to get back with us. Overall it was a very nice stay. If you're looking for luxurious it's probably not for you but if you're looking for rustic and cozy it was perfect! Also it is up really far but still a close drive to downtown Gatlinburg. "

"Pre-Christmas Smokies Getaway
Cabin was very nice in a great location near Gatlinburg. Pictures are accurate in showing it near a creek and right off of Ski Mountain Rd. Cabin was fully furnished in the kitchen and bathrooms and came with a big screen TV and cable. Hot tub was a nice option, but we didn't use it. The wood burning fireplace with stocked wood was very nice to have though. It was very nice inside and had been decorated with a tree for Christmas. Overall had a great experience there and would go again. Only thing is that the road could be tricky to drive on in icy/ snowy conditions, as it quickly increases in steepness after leaving the main road in Gatlinburg. There is a sign that tells you to use chains or 4wd in icy/ snowy conditions on Ski Mountain Rd. going up to the cabin. Overall though we had a great stay at Bear Creek cabin."

We had a great stay! So nice to have wood provided for the fireplace, daughter loved the enormous tub, and the beds were comfy. Cabin is right off the road which was not bad but was a surprise. The burble of the stream covered any noise. Excellent customer support!"

"Decent place to stay
Well for the rate I was expecting the cabin to be in better condition. You could definitely tell that the cabin is pet friendly because of broken blinds and a lot of trim work around doors chewed up. Really didnt bother me none. But it's not as pretty as the price. It was really clean and just like it was described. But could use some TLC"

This cabin was conveniently located to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. It was isolated enough you felt you were in the wilderness.

While getting charcoal to catch before I put some steaks on the grill I had to hold an umbrella with a drizzle of rain. I saw something out of the corner of my eye and turn to my right to see a black bear just 15 feet away checking out the smell. Tempted to take a picture for a spilt second but decided to walk backwards into cabin holding umbrella down to make me look bigger. Glad my wife and daughter got to see it too from window and that I didn't have steaks on already. I was looking around rest of the time grilling! "

"No Relaxation, Very little Compensation
I don't write reviews BUT Our cabin was almost what we expected. However, the A/C was not working. This was the first day it had been turned on of the season. 2 days later it was fixed. BUT meanwhile, we could not use the HOT TUB with them working on the A/C til 10:30pm, Nor the next day we could not relax with service tech from 10-3pm. Nor were we able to use the "romantic fireplace" because the A/C did not work. (BTW bring your own starter log) After the A/C was fixed, I called 4 times asking for a supervisor (N/A) and NO returned phone calls. During the down time, the CS Supervisor assured me that we would be taken care of, but no response. We got 40% off for one night. Very disappointed in how this was handled. "

We really enjoyed exploring Gatlinburg and the mountains for the weekend. We did hear a rodent in the wall while we were sleeping the first night. We notified the building management the next day and didn't hear anything after that. We did see a black bear VERY close to our cabin when we got back from a show one night so be on the lookout for them! This cabin appears in the pictures to be in the middle of the woods but it is right on of a fairly busy road so be aware of that as well. "

We very much enjoyed our stay and especially that it was pet friendly. 1) need a ceiling fan in main living and/or ability to turn thermostat below 75 -- was very warm for us. 2) jacuzzi inside not used, when filling there were hairs floating about, so not cleaned well enough for me. 3) housekeeping should use their vacuum wand to get into corners, there was sand/dirt pile next to vanity in downstairs bathroom.... loved the stream, not so much the road noise.

Elk Springs is a wonderful rental management company. They were very responsive even when a quick response was not necessary. The cabin was well maintained and it was a wonderful addition to the relaxing experience of staying in the Smokies. I would use them as an agent if I owned a property.
The cabin was very nice. The only down side was the proximity to the road, which got busy at times. Other than that, it was flawless. "

"Review of Bear Creek
Overall it was a basic cabin stay. Nothing really made a "wow" factor. Both showers are very small and tight. there are no exhaust fans in the bathrooms.Counters was outdated and the burners were lopsided making it hard to cook evenly. Microwave did not work properly. Dining table was took close to side porch exit. Very tight space around beds, dresser in downstairs room was useless because it was hard to get in and out.very disapponted by lack of yard area.. from pictures it looked like there was outdoor play space. Swing was missing from picture which my son was looking forward too. Overall wasn't very impressed. Very basic but advertised as luxery cabin. Nope.. Cabin was clean."

Bear Creek cabin is in a great setting next to a twin cabin sitting on a cute little creek. The cabin was very clean, well stocked with everything we needed for our week long stay and decorated just right for the Smoky Mountain setting. It is easy to get to and a quick drive to downtown Gatlinburg and the entrance to the park. Since it sits on Ski Mountain Road there is some road noise, but it didn't bother us. Elk Springs is fantastic to work with - they texted when the cabin was ready for check in and called to be sure everything was ok once we arrived. The staff I spoke to were enthusiastic and helpful.

"Relaxing vacation but with some concerns
We booked this cabin because I've stayed in cabins before where you have to drive basically vertically up a mountain and did not enjoy that experience. This cabin is very well situated without being difficult to get to. It's only a 5 minute drive to the heart of Gatlinburg!
Please be aware that on the other side of that creek you see in the picture is a MAIN ROAD to a huge resort. If you do not like the sound of cars constantly driving by, this is not your place. It didn't bother us too much, but we're pretty easy people.
The hot tub was clean and filled to the top. We didn't have starter soaps in the kitchen, but an email to the management company fixed that very quickly. They are receptive and quick to right any wrong. The furniture is in serious need of either a deep clean or replacement. We didn't sit on the couches because of how gross they were.
As for the cabin itself, sadly, I came back with 11 or so flea bites. The person who slept in the bed downstairs didn't have any, so I probably got attacked in the bed upstairs. I did NOT realize this was a pet-friendly cabin. One person in my party got only 2 flea bites, and the other person in my party did not get bitten. The guest book at the cabin had complaints about fleas over a year ago.
I wish I had known this prior to booking. We did not complain about it because we were not interested in moving locations after being settled. I did mention it in an email to the management company and they thanked me for my email."

"Overpriced and Disappointing for the Experience
I was extremely excited for a surprise birthday weekend getaway in the mountains. I thought I'd scored a great deal through Groupon: $299 for 2 nights in a 2br/2ba cabin in the breathtaking Smoky Mountains! Sounds great, huh? Well, after I booked my cabin on the website, there was a whopping additional $201 charge for taxes/fees (of course - sounded too good to be true, right?). Already feeling slightly swindled, we take the journey to Gatlinburg anyway, and arrive at a quite ordinary cabin. Checking the place out, we found what appeared to be a Clorox wipe in the sink. Embarrassed that my girlfriend thought the housekeeper left that in the sink, I attempt to clean it up. Removing this "wipe" revealed a gaping hole in the sink. The maintenance team clearly and deliberately covered this up instead of replacing the cheap $50 sink. The next morning, we woke up to a clogged toilet on the bottom floor, same bathroom.
Luckily, the cabin's management was extremely apologetic. They came to unclog the toilet within a few hours, but unfortunately, they didn't replace the cheap sink with the gaping hole. Honestly, for $500 for 2 nights, I would have much rather stayed at the Hilton...or found a nicer cabin.
Positives: I did enjoy the jacuzzi tub and wish I had time to relax in the hot tub. I also slept like a baby in the king bed! The bubbling creek was adorable as well.
Also, they could have done a better job with cleaning the cabin. I never walked around without socks or shoes. Overall, I would never stay at Elk Springs Resort again, and I would not recommend that my friends or family do either."

I was miserable with our cabin. The downstairs bedroom was so small you could not open the wardrobe all the way. This made it very hard to get clothes in and out. There was not enough room for any type chest to put folded clothes in and you could not lay your luggage flat. We had to use the cabinet in the kitchen for clothes and food. This cabinet is meant for two people not four and for the price paid per night i was very upset."

The house was only spot cleaned and reeked of dirty dog smell. The sofa and pillows and blankets were so smelly and dirty they felt wet. The pictures are staged to give a much larger and better appearance than the actual cabin. There were no air vents in the top loft other than in the bathroom so it was very hot in the loft. The dryer doesn't work well and we had to dry the clothes 3 times. I would not stay here again."

Had a great weekend getaway at a beautiful cabin. Check-in couldn't have gotten any simpler, received a call before 3pm stating the cabin was ready. The cabin was clean and beautiful on the inside. The only issue we had was quite a bit of ants coming from the jacuzzi upstairs in the loft. At first we just noticed 2, but as more water ran, more and more continued to show up. Other than that it was an absolutely perfect cabin!! We will definitely love to stay here again."

"Bear Cabin Review
The cabin stunk! It was very clean, but it had a musky, stinky bathroom odor!!"
