"Terrance review Amazing " Nov 13, 2023 - Terrance J., Killeen , TX "Swimming in paradise Cabin was still being cleaned after the staff confirmed our arrival time, had to wait 2+ hours beyond expected check-in. Pool wasn’t ready upon our arrival, but was resolved relatively quickly. Had problems with A/C all week. Resolution of the problem never developed after a several maintenance trips from staff." Sep 30, 2023 - , Rocky Mount, NC "Extremely disappointed I've been to Elk springs resort in the past, which is why I decided to go again. This time our cabin was in Grand View resort- 15 minutes or so north of Pigeon Forge. Our check in was 1.5 hours later than they advertised- and nobody stayed in the cabin before our reservation, so how that is possible- not sure. The A.C on main level and lower 2 levels was not working- blowing 110 degree heat out and could not be shut off. The refrigerator stopped working roughly 2 hours after we go in at 5:00. The A.C didn't get fixed till mid-day the next day along with Fridge. Had to pull everything out and pack in coolers and re-ice a couple times. They brought a window unit to put in at 11:30 pm that night, had everyone sleeping either upstairs or main level where the window unit was. I asked to speak with a Supervisor/Manager the next day. Kept getting the runaround- finally a manager called me Thursday- We checked in Tuesday. They offered to have me move to another cabin- chose not to pack up and then unpack again. After 1 1/2 days, the AC and refrigerator were fixed. I asked what was going to be done for my family since the first day and a half were horrible- took 5 days for a customer service rep to call me and give me less than a night's rate. I will never stay at Elk Springs again- I advise others not to. There are literally hundreds of other options. " Aug 10, 2023 - Wade R., Goodrich , MI "4th of July stay The cabin was very nice it needed a little work but it was fine. The issue we had was the cabin was filthy it looked as if it had never been cleaned food everywhere in multiple rooms.Cleaners had to come back to clean the cabin." Aug 10, 2023 - , Taft , TN "Vacation It was a wonderful cabin. Very clean and beautiful." Jun 17, 2023 - Ida W., Mill creek, IN "Decent cabin The Cabin was fine, quite a bit of spruced webs and dusty walls. Log cabins are just like that. Would have loved for the pool to be more accessible. It was like 3 stories down. Two very long stair wells to go down to get it. Oh and the pool door never really locked. We bought a baby safe strap to use while we were there. These places need some retractable baby gates to keep the small kids safe inside. I honestly feel it was very over priced for what it was, beds were very hard, couches were actually falling apart, nothing major just noticeable stuff. Location was pretty good. And lastly, no broom to clean up with. " Jun 08, 2023 - Jill H., Munfordville , KY "Swimming in Paradise To be able to get all the family together under one roof was amazing! The amenities were great and you could literally stay in the cabin and not go anywhere and be okay with it. Now the cleanliness was questionable. The floors were sticky, cups in the cabinets were dirty and the hot tub filter system had a broken fastening ring so all the parts were floating when taking the lid off of the spa. We found shard of broken glass in the foyer area and having a crawling baby with us was a big disappointment to find. We also found a bag of open chips stuffed into the drawer of the living room table. Needless to say this place was not clean and with the amount of money people pay, you expect more. It would have been 5 stars if this were a properly cleaned facility. I won't come back to this location and will not recommend anyone to stay here either." May 31, 2023 - James B., Murfreesboro, TN "mother and daughters trip everyone had a good time at this beautiful rental overall. the only issue we had was 11 in a rental, so we had trash pile up with not enough trash cans to get rid of trash and urine smell in upstairs master bathroom" May 18, 2023 - dionne e., douglasville, GA "Absolutely amazing It was great everything was clean in good condition and working" Apr 12, 2023 - Ashley C., Erie, PA "Beautiful place to stay love it Really enjoyed our stay scenery was great the cabin was very nice inside and out we had plenty of room to move around they loved it thank you " Mar 14, 2023 - Gilbert G., Louisville, KY "It was Okay I've been coming to the smokies for the last 3 years during the winter months. My first year was absolutely beautiful. I stayed at the Otter Springs Cabin. Clean and ready on time and management was very responsive. Since then it seems to have gone down hill. I stated at the Alpine last year. Zero communication. Had to check in extremely late. After late check in we had to call maintenance next day and still had issues throughout house all week. No response from management. the house was nice and clean. Swimming in Paradise is a nice house. Could use some deep cleaning though inside and out. The bottom floor where theater is was uncomfortable and coldest in the house so did not get to enjoy. Going to pool area felt like you going into a dungeon. But overall a nice house and enjoyed our stay. Contacted maintenance a few time and got not response so issue we had did not get fix in the week we was there. Otherwise booking is a breeze and it's seem to be the only consistent contact management will do. I will visit again but it a be awhile" Feb 13, 2023 - , Fredericksburg , VA "Family fun in the Smokies The cabin was a huge hit with the family, especially the pool. Everything was clean and well maintained. Plenty of parking for 3 to 4 vehicles. Just a short drive to attractions and restaurants in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Quick response time from property management. Would definitely recommend to family and friends and looking forward to visiting again!" Nov 07, 2022 - Melisa W., Florissant, MO "Paradise Love the area my cabin was at. Love the pool my kids enjoyed it every day n nite. beside the traffic overall we enjoyed our stay n will stay again..thank you elksprings resort for the memories wit my family " Sep 24, 2022 - Azalia T., Beckley, WV "Great Cousins Trip! Cabin Disappointment �� First, as a frequently returning guest, upon booking, I assumed that the cabin was at the "main" Elk Springs Resort in Gatlinburg, which is where I was used to staying and assumed where I was booking. It wasn't until check-in whrn I discovered that it was a completely "different" resort that had been "purchased" by Elk Springs. Long story short, to my disappointment, the cabin was not clean and did not seem "fresh" at all. There were cob webs in the ceilings, the kitchen and dishes were not clean, the dishwasher had standing water in the bottom, the linens were not fresh and the washcloths and towels had hair in them. Also, the bathroom sinks had hair all around the handles. For the cost of this cabin, it was definitely a disappointment in the overall cleanliness. The amenities were good, except the pool was "cloudy" the entire stay. Although this was my first time at this Elk Springs location, it was definitely my last. If I decide to visit again, I will be sure to book at their Gatlinburg location. There is a zip line attraction at the resort, so that was a huge positive. " Aug 09, 2022 - Heather H., Lexington, KY "Fantastic entertainment cabin Ideal for families with pre-teen and older kids. Lots of room to sleep, can sleep up to 10 easily. Points to keep in mind: 1. Fantastic cabin, spacious, updated bathrooms. 2. Very comfortable beds! 3. Plenty of TV channels 4. Bring male-to-male connection for your chromecast in movie room and enjoy Netflix/Prime Video/Disney etc. 5. Nice pool table, arcade and even poker table - loved it! 6. Quiet and peaceful. 7. Mngmnt company very responsive with any issues 8. Not much of a view b/c its obstructed by trees 9. Small issues: Needs a bit more cups, bowls. BBQ grill needs to be replaced/cleaned. Pool could use a more regular treatment " Jul 26, 2022 - , Acton, MA "Swimming in Disaster Long delay for check in. Once we got the into the cabin the cleaning was sub par. Dusting apparently not on the list. The one king size bed was hard as wood. The photos made the place seem bigger. The “theater” room was in the room with the bunk beds. The bathroom on that floor had no doors. The swimming area wasn’t real inviting and the stairs very dangerous. We had one the guest seriously hurt their self on the stairs. They need to put grips on stairs since there’s a pool on bottom level. " Jun 25, 2022 - Jason B., Hilliard, OH "Make A Wish come true This was a wish for our son fighting cancer. The cabin was amazing! The kuds swam every day! Such beautiful views! Staff was available when we had questions. We felt at home all week. " Jun 14, 2022 - Angela O., Mulliken, MI " NICE AND SPACIOUS I booked this cabin for a Friendscation and my brothers birthday. The cabin was very nice and spacious. There were a few maintenance issues, fridge wasn’t getting cold, both sinks in upstairs bathroom were clogged, instructions wrong for dishwasher, but they came out and fixed them in a timely manner. The location is not bad either. This cabin is 15-20 mins away from all the attractions and PARKWAY BLVD. OAN It was obvious the cabin hadn’t been used in a while. There were spider webs EVERYWHERE and the furniture on the second deck needed cleaning." Jun 14, 2022 - , St Louis , MO "Great for families The property wasn’t well cleaned upon arrival. We found an empty bottle of wine, someone’s swimsuit, and dirty laundry sitting in the wash machine. The patio furniture was ripped and way too damaged to sit in. We ended up going to the store to get cleaning supplies to clean the cabin. We enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi. This cabin is perfect for two couples with children. My kids loved the theatre. " May 19, 2022 - Teara E., Baltimore, MD "A little disappointed The house was huge and very spacious. But it was incredibly dirty, sticky counters hair in the bed, not swept. We tried to call while we staying that weekend several times and never heard anything back." May 18, 2022 - , Erlanger, KY "Family Vacation We highly enjoyed our stay at swimming in Paradise. The only bad was the pool and hot tub were cold and unusable our first night. The location was perfect and we had plenty of room for our whole herd." May 06, 2022 - John C., Clarence Center, NY "A fun family trip The cabin was really unique. There were a lot of great amenities to entertain a family. Check-in and check-out was very easy. We loved the hot tub and the movie theater system. I would say the pool was a little cloudy for our family but the service department said it was normal. We also were not a fan of the cloth couches. Overall it was a nice trip. " Mar 19, 2022 - , Wyandotte, MI "First trip to Gattlinburg amazing stay at swimming in paradise Absolutely amazing stay at the swimming in paradise cabin. Kids loved the pool, game room, and theater. Make sure to watch the entertainment video and bring an hdmi adapter. Purchase Dollywood tickets online to skip the lines. Three nights in this cabin was not long enough. We plan to stay longer in the summer. This place was just fantastic! Elk Springs Resort had great communication and very responsive to our requests. " Mar 19, 2022 - Ernest K., Harker Heights, TX "A great weekend. Cabin was great. Only complaints are the dining table was sticky and gnats were seen when we arrived. Other than that cabin was clean and well presented. " Mar 15, 2022 - , Charleston, WV "Family Gathering The check-was great. The cabin was a great size for all of us but could have been a little cleaner, dust, cob webs, broken sofa beds and the odor of cat urine on the sofa. We couldn't get the dishwasher to function.If the furniture is updated and functioning it would have been just about perfect. We still enjoyed all amenities and location to other activities. " Feb 25, 2022 - Sherese E., Richmond, VA "Fail Cabin was filthy. Food left from previous renters on table downstairs and in drawers upstairs. No cleaning had been done under couches in a LONG time. Kitchen counters were dirty! Blinds did not fit the windows, like 4” less wide than the window. Going downstairs , there was what looked like a repair of wall but not center painted over. Looked like going into a dungeon. Will not be staying at this cabin again. " Dec 31, 2021 - Cyndy S., Crossville, AL "Very disappointed We rented this cabin for a family Christmas vacation., unfortunately our stay in Swimming in Paradise isn’t what we hoped for. There are a few positive aspects of this cabin... The location is good. The pool is very nice. The layout of the cabin in great. However, there were multiple negative aspects as well. During our stay we experienced live roaches in the kitchen, maintenance was called and brought us a can of Raid to spray. There was an active water leak in the kitchen from the shower upstairs. Maintenance were there when this happened, we were told not take showers at the same time. The sofa bed in the game room was broke down, we had to use pillows to prop it up so that it could be used. Maintenance was called but could not fix it during our stay. The cabin was not decorated for Christmas, not even a tree. The cabin appeared as if it had not been used in sometime, very dusty and cobwebs in the ceilings. Elk Springs customer service and upper management have yet to return my calls, only responding by text or email. I have attempted to contact them multiple times during our stay and after arriving back home. I do not recommend renting this property from Elk Springs. " Dec 14, 2021 - , Lawrenceburg, KY "Older house that needs some TLC The house has potential with a nice pool and jacuzzi, but it does need some work.the carpets were dirty and lots of dust, looks like the house hasn’t been cleaned in a while. The beds are lumpy and old, the pull out sofa can only hold a small child and very uncomfortable. We also had a leak in the kitchen ceiling coming from the shower on the second floor. Maintenance did come in to check it out and had to clean the gutter but the problem came back the next day. I wouldnt stay there again" Nov 30, 2021 - , Cary, NC "Non-swimming in Paradise The house itself was very nice inside and comfortable. Outside needs some attention. Decking needs cleaning and re-staining, all windows are pretty dirty and cobwebs are covering back decks. Check in was delayed until after 5:00 p.m. due to maintenance on the inside pool. Due to a complete refill of pool by maintenance, which was only half full when we checked in, we were unable to use pool on day 1. On day 2, we tried to use the pool and maintenance again came out to work on pool and was there until 7:30 p.m. at night. Day 2 - no pool use. Day 3, went to use pool and temperature of pool water was 104 degrees. Called and reported issue and complained that hot tub was never usable either because water level was too low and there was no hose for us to refill hot tub ourselves. Tried to use theater room and the remote for the HDMI setting wouldn't work. Maintenance was unable to fix the issue while we were staying in the house. Reported all issues to management. They were very sorry and did issue a minor refund for our troubles. However, all these issues truly put a damper on our vacation. We specifically rented this home because of all the great amenities. Not being able to use them was beyond frustrating and disappointing. " Sep 13, 2021 - , New Lenox, IL "Not worth the money The cabin was decent but not worth the cost. Hot tub was not clean. The pool was not clean. Issues with the A/C. Had the basics but for the cost they should provide more garbage bags. Soaps. Towels etc. We had to clean all the bathrooms before we used them. Grill was broke and very dirty." Aug 29, 2021 - Justin S., LaPorte, IN "Definitely worth it The cabin is HUGE. It's tucked away at the end of the road so no traffic and super quiet back there. The communication was great from the company with check ins and such. The pool was cloudy from having to clean it from the last visitors but they sent someone to check it out while we were there. Great company. " Aug 28, 2021 - , West Carrollton, OH "Nice Pool was nice but cloudy. Air went out upstairs but had it fixed the same day. Couch smelled of something not sure what. But overall a great time " Aug 14, 2021 - , Caneyville , KY "Perfect location! Just minutes away from the Diner My family truly felt like we vacationed in paradise! It’s spacious and perfect for a family of 5. All of the beds are comfortable, the top floor has 2 bedrooms w/ full bath in each bedroom and master has jacuzzi tub. Theres a game room with a Brunswick pool table up there also with plenty of seating and a separate thermostat/ac unit to keep it cool, the second floor is the main floor u walk into. It’s got a kitchen, living room, dining room and full bath and balcony with a grill. They have everything u need whether u have 5 or 12 guests! The layout of this cabin is amazing! The next floor down is the media room with projector and 6 movie theater seats with cup holders, a full bath, a queen bunk bed and a patio with a hot tub that fit all 5 of us! In the hallway is a closet where the washer/ dryer is it’s a really nice sized stacker and not loud when door is closed. The next floor down is the pool! It has a patio also and it says 4 1/2 ft deep but in the middle of the pool (I’m 5’6”) and water touches my chin standing up. It’s a lot bigger in person and so much fun we had plenty of room with 3 teens and 2 adults! This cabin is well taken care of, the carpet is soft, feels new, the comforters on the beds are really nice quality, there’s a lot of pillows for each bed, check the closets for more pillows and blankets. They had a clean set of sheets for both pullout couches but we didn’t need to use them. This cabin is in the best location to everything! Just 2 windy roads( about 10 min drive) and u pull out behind the diner at the strip. You couldn’t ask for a better location. It’s far enough away for quiet peaceful nights and close enough to get to the strip. You can hear wahoo ziplines on the patio early in the morning when ur drinking coffee it just motivated us to get up n get out! I would highly recommend this cabin for any family to stay. We stayed for 7 nights and loved every minute of it" Jul 19, 2021 - Courtney S., Cincinnati, OH "Totally satisfied. Everything was as advertised. Great location and a very spacious cabin." Jul 04, 2021 - Mark P., Lincolnwood, IL "In need of a little TLC We all thought the cabin was awesome but it did have a few issues. The upstairs hide a bed was missing springs & sank in too much for ant adult to sleep on we put our 2 granddaughters there to sleep! We had no broom or any way to Pick up debris, the garbage got to full 3 days in to Our stay with no way to put trash anywhere but in the house!! Our hot tub was very green & we wiped it out the best we could there was no chlorine tablets in the floater which may have helped?!?! So the cabin stay over all was a great experience but it does need a little TLC. I also had to clean off the outdoor cloth furniture & lost of cobwebs!! " Jun 28, 2021 - John S., Enon Valley , PA "Wonderful, clean, and fun! We had a great experience! Plenty of room for everyone as well. " Jun 08, 2021 - , Pewee Valley, KY "Great Mini Vacation We stayed here for my daughter's 8th birthday as a family and so she could swim her heart out. This will be a great childhood memory and I will definitely consider doing this again in the future. Cabin was clean and spacious. Check in and out went smooth and there was no issues. " Jun 06, 2021 - , Indianapolis, IN "Amazing cabin This cabin was amazing! My family was very pleased. It had something for everyone. The location was perfect. It was secluded enough for privacy yet a few minutes drive from the outlets. I would definitely recommend. " Jun 02, 2021 - , Charlotte, NC "Great place to stay! My family of 5- 3 young boys, and my grandparents stayed here for a few days just to relax together. So many things to keep my kids occupied, super clean, lots of space and lots of stairs! Very easy check in/out as well. Such a great time and look forward to our next stay." May 10, 2021 - Nick T., Morrow, OH "Review Everything was amazing! " Mar 16, 2021 - Courtney F., Monticello, KY "Nice home for a quick getaway The home was comfortable and very suitable for a weekend getaway. There are A LOT of stairs (some uneven), so not ideal for someone that can't easily do stairs. The location was good for all of the activities we did in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The property was very clean, but I would say well used. The management company provided clear information every step of the way, and when we called upon arrival with a question they were very attentive and helpful. I would not categorize the property as luxury, but it was nice, had a lot of amenities that are great for families with kiddos, and was in a good location. " Mar 10, 2021 - Christine W., Charlotte, NC "Swimming in paradise Perfect , loved every minute of it !" Feb 14, 2021 - , Port Sanilac , MI "Worth it!! It was our 3rd time renting with Elk Springs but our first time at the SIP Cabin. Beautiful cabin. There was a delayed check-in due to a clerical error. However, that was the only hiccup. The cabin was clean spacious and my family and I had a great time. I only wish there were pool cabins that are handicap accessible. I use a mobility aid so taking the stairs to get to the pool was A LOT especially bc the master bedroom was on the top floor so that created more stairs to climb. Other than that it was fantastic and we're looking forward to renting with Elk Springs again." Jan 17, 2021 - Alicia Y., Lithonia, GA "Christmas in the Smokies We will start by saying this cabin is conveniently located to restaurants and attractions while still in a country setting. We had the max number of occupants and required every bed and pull out sofa. We were disappointed that the game room sofa springs were broken and our adult children could not use that bed. The pull out sofa in the living room on the main floor was damaged and we barely got that bed pulled out. We were disappointed with how cold both the pool and hot tub were. We had to wait several hours for the hot tub to warm up and half the jets did not work. We did not use the pool because it was so cold ( huge disappointment). The back of cabin view from balcony was disappointing due to trash all along hillside. Our kids did enjoy theater/bedroom area and they hung out in this room quite a bit. We were content with kitchen area and cleanliness of cabin. " Dec 23, 2020 - , Stanford, KY "Loovvveee The Vibe I really enjoyed the cabin. We stayed for three nights and used the hot tub each night! The theater room was easy setup and Netflix was available. The pool during night time looks different than the picture as there are no blinds covering windows and poor lighting so it makes the room seem dark and dreary somewhat scary considering it's the bottom level. I would recommend using it during day which we didn't get a chance to do because it gets dark around 6 and we we're falling in love with the activities !!! I definitely recommend getting a Ripley's aquarium pass as you would save money and be able to walk the strip and stop at any attractions you want ! The space in the cabin was great it was four floors (pool on separate floor) LOTS OF STEPS ! The only other negative was the pull out bed upstairs near pool table was highly uncomfortable if you will be using it I recommend bringing a mattress pad. Between the kitchen and grill we had plenty of room to cook 12 seafood boils with plenty of space in fridge and freezer. Overall it was a lovely trip will definitely be visiting a different cabin again and staying longer! The customer service was excellent and the cabin was spotless minus their ladybug problem but hey ����‍♀️ it's the woods. Last thing, we we're required to check in late 15mins and pool wasn't available until a hour after check in due to maintenance ... I requested a late check out of an hour and was denied due to other visitors checking in that day. It was understandable I suppose just be prepared for delays ! " Dec 09, 2020 - , Henrico, VA "Mountain beauty with a pool Very wonderful place to stay at a very beautiful locations, lots of things to do there with the family.." Nov 22, 2020 - Keith D., Whaleyville , MD "Not worth the money The directions were straight forward, the house itself was a bit disappointing. We booked this trip to stay COVID-19 and ended up coming home with it. The house was not clean, the washer and dryer were broken, the maintenance person did not wore a mask the two times he was asked to come. The fireplaces and the movie theater were missing remotes so we couldn’t used them the first night. Overall; considering the pandemic we are living in I was expecting the property to be super clean and disinfected but sadly it was not the case. For the price we paid I had high expectations for this property. Will not go back. " Nov 13, 2020 - Loyda H., Indianapolis, IN "My mountain experience Our stay started off rocky due to no water pressure throughout the entire cabin but Elk Springs had someone come out you took a little longer than expected but everything was taken care of and fixed by the end of the night. Also one negative for me is that the furniture is very dated you get the cabin feel but you also know that the furniture is worn. Other than those issues I recommend that you go because I enjoyed it the overall experience was wonderful having everything under one roof and available for you is a plus plus plus" Nov 05, 2020 - , DALLAS, TX "Swimming in paradise cabin review Overall the stay was great. Only exceptions were I spent one whole day trying to wash 2 loads of clothes and dry them due to the washer/dryer unit wasn’t working quite right. Couldn’t get dishwasher to work and all those steps, oh my. Please be careful. They are slick with sock feet. I fell down about 5 or 6 with a load of clothes and am pretty bruised up and sore. Outside of that, things were ok. " Oct 18, 2020 - , Corydon, IN "Great and relaxing stay! We had a wonderful stay for Fall Break at Swimming in Paradise! The cabin is conveniently located and we loved being able to do the Wahoo Ziplines that was on the property. That is a big reason we stay on property so we can be close to ziplining. There were a few repairs that needed to be done...such as the handle on the stove was broken (but was easily fixed) and the shower door in the downstairs bathroom was completely busted and needs to be replaced. It did not slide properly. The pool area was wonderful and clean, water was warm. Hot tub worked perfectly and was clean as well. We would certainly stay here again! Thank you!" Oct 16, 2020 - Amanda C., Monroe, GA "Not a true paradise Cabin wasn't ready until after 8pm on our day of checkin and that was after multiple phone calls and tracking down of staff to help us. The indoor pool was very cloudy even after they sent someone out to fix it. Floor was filthy, our feet were black! Candy wrappers, crumbs, and poker chips all over the floor. Grill was broken. Community pool was closed the first 3 days. Still had a great vacation but was disappointed in this "luxury" cabin." Oct 13, 2020 - Michelle L., Wickliffe, OH "family vacation someone needed to dust and get rid of the !cobwebs..especially the deck outside of the pool room. other than that...beautiful...and I will be back" Oct 01, 2020 - Mary M., New Castle, PA "Great for large family group The cabin was ready for an early check in. Communication from the rental company before, during and after our stay was excellent. The cabin was clean and just as described.. We did purchase our own coffee filters, garbage bags, , paper towels, toilet paper and laundry soap while staying in the cabin. The cabin provided a few rolls of toilet paper paper towels and a few garbage bags. We had a total of 7 adults & 2 kids and everyone was comfortable in this cabin. We plan on staying in this cabin again. " Jul 20, 2020 - , NAPLES, FL "Geat time during the pandemc we just wanted a place to get away from it all. This was great. Inside of the property was very clean although the king beds mattresses are not of a good quality and were a bit uncomfortable. Also the grill looked like it hasn't been properly cleaned in a very long time. We opted not to use it. There were some stains on the king bed comforter that just looked like grease. I would suggest upgrading the linens and mattresses but outside of that it was a pleasant stay. " Jul 14, 2020 - , Memphis, TN "Exclusive very nice Awesome " Jun 23, 2020 - Corey A., Graham, NC "Nice getaway Nice cabin for a small group. Pictures are a little misleading in that the theatre and downstairs bedroom are one in the same, which limits use of the theatre when the bedroom is in use. Overall, well maintained but floors were a bit dirty and seems to have not been mopped prior to our stay. Also found stained pillows and bedding upon removing sheets upon our departure. Otherwise, great cabin and nice place to get away. " Jun 12, 2020 - , Columbia, SC "Out of Quarantine Me and my family of 10 went there when our state somewhat lifted the stay at home order.. however we were still skeptical about being around crowded places.. BUT THIS PLACE WAS TRULY WHAT WE NEEDED.. our cabin was completely isolated from other cabins so we definitely felt comfortable and our minds were at ease.. yes we did make a few trips to the local Walmart but other then that we had no reason to leave the cabin.. there was enough space to where everyone was able to find a quiet spot to do they school work, but when they finished it was straight to the pool or hot tub. The movie theater felt like we were really at the movies (except the $15 cost pp and $50 for snacks you would pay at Regals or AMC).. the beds were very comfortable.. we did have to wait 1 1/2 to check in because our cabin was not ready by 3 pm but we understood they had minimal staff at this time. We will definitely go back once this social distancing is more under control because Pigeon Forge is a wonderful place to visit with a lot of activities for the family.. " May 19, 2020 - , Brooklyn , NY "We had a ball The cabin was very clean and up to part " May 07, 2020 - Markeila M., Mauldin, SC "Excellent Cabin Everything was good. Check-in was super easy and the communication was excellent during the process. It had a coded door, so all we had to do was get the code and we were in the cabin. Everything in the cabin was clean and super nice with plenty of space. Rooms were good, bathrooms nice and clean and the pool and hot tub were excellent. Only thing about the pool, for safety purposes I imagine, an alarm would go off over the whole cabin if you didn't press the button/code in time - a little annoying for us but can understand if little children are there it is a needed safety procedure I assume. Check-out was easy as well and we had no issues whatsoever. I would definitely recommend staying there especially if you like the added feature of the inside pool....Thanks for an excellent weekend!" Feb 18, 2020 - , Bedford "Wonderful place to unwind The location was great beautiful views close to the everything space for two families what I like is u just bring ur clothes and food and relax the whole weekend my girls and my friends kids loved the pool movie theater and that they had room to run around and play and our kids are 4 teens " Nov 13, 2019 - Iris A., San Francisco, unknown "Girl's trip 2019 The stay was really nice I had a few plumping issues but as soon as I called they sent someone out to correct the issue." Nov 12, 2019 - Attiyah J., Charlotte, NC "Vacation 2019 Swimming in Paradise was amazing!! " Oct 13, 2019 - Stephanie S., Warren, MI "Deceiving pictures The cabin was old and even though it was cleaned but it felt like it needed a deeper cleaning. The outside seating was covered in pollen and we couldn’t even sit out there. The couches are so outdated and dirty. Floors are waving ’s just in need of complete update." Sep 25, 2019 - , Charlotte, NC "Pool was pretty cold but overall good stay The cabin was so beautiful. It had everything we needed. The hot tub and theater room were amazing. The pool room was very nice too it was just way colder than what we were expecting. It was still very clean and fun we just werent able to stay in long. Other than that it was a beautiful place and we enjoyed our time there so much " Sep 22, 2019 - Jessica S., Greensburg, IN "From Philly My family and I truly enjoyed this trip. Everyone was pleasant and the cabin was bomb. I couldn't have asked for a better trip. Best week spent with nature." Aug 13, 2019 - Porchia T., Philadelphia, PA "Jonathan D Martin The bottom floor, pool room and deck, had spider webs in the corners of the pool. The deck had not been swept and had bird poop on the cabin walls on the bottom deck. Also not all the jets worked in jacuzzi. The rest was great." Jul 04, 2019 - Jonathan M., White Bluff, TN "Grandkids dream cabin The pool was a huge hit with a 7 and 4 year old." Jun 14, 2019 - , Taylor Mill, KY "Not swimming in paradise The staff was extremely helpful and prompt. Only issue was cloudy pool. They came within 30 minutes to remedy unfortunately could not. All in all we still enjoyed our stay." Jun 10, 2019 - Jacob I., OSWEGO, IL "Awesome place... Great and beautiful place!!" Mar 12, 2019 - , Kissimmee, FL "awesome! This vacation rental was fabulous! The kids had an absolute blast! The media room, the game room, the pool, and the hot tub were all major hits!! If you are looking for something secluded and quiet, this is your cabin! " Mar 07, 2019 - Megan C., Alexandria, LA "Teenage girls and their awesome moms - getaway We absolutely enjoyed this cabin and our stay there. Our girls had such a wonderful time that they want to do this every year, in the same cabin! The cabin was apparently having heater issues between our stay and the previous guests. They called to let me know ahead of time and that the issue was being fixed immediately...and it was. They called after to check on our stay - which I thought was very nice. GPS took us right to the cabin. Nothing but good things to say...we definitely want to come back! Thanks for everything!" Dec 04, 2018 - Michelle U., Max Meadows, VA "Thanksgiving with the Family We had a few very minor issues, but when we called for a "chirping" smoke detector, they came right out and changed batteries. Kids enjoyed the pool and I enjoyed the hot tub." Nov 26, 2018 - Annette D., Poplarville, MS "Swimming in Paradise review We had a great Smokey Mountain vacation-we liked the location of the rental-it was clean and had a well equipped kitchen-the pool and jacuzzi were well kept. The furniture needs updated-the springs in the couches were "sprung or broken" and really uncomfortable-the drawers in the dressers are either stuck or fallout--if which could result in injury- the theatre seats were really uncomfortable-the beds were good-the grill was dirty and when we tried to cook on it -it smoked heavily so we didnt use it." Oct 29, 2018 - Nancy T., Westport, KY "Very nice cabin Loved the cabin overall. Wooded view. Pool very nice but not as big as it looks in the photo online. 3rd "bedroom" is a bunked set in the movie room and the hot tub is off that patio. Couch in living area very uncomfortable and should be replaced. Other than that the cabin was good for 3 couples." Oct 04, 2018 - Lisa W., Middletown, OH "Wonderful Vacation Great stay, great home, plenty of room. The pool at the resort was perfect for the kids. Would have wished for a better view (IE mountain view), but all in all a very nice home & a great vacation spot. " Aug 21, 2018 - Max L., Skokie, IL "Great family and group cabin. Fantastic cabin. Kids loved the pool and the gameroom. The theater was a cool addition. Got the whole group together one night and watched a new movie." Jul 22, 2018 - James S., Murfreesboro, TN "Relaxation My stay at Swimming in Paradise was great. The cabin was so nice and having easy access to a pool was amazing, best idea with teens. So close to the strip it made it very easy to head out if we wanted but so nice and quiet in the woods. Everyone needs a week away to relax and I would recommend this cabin for sure." Jul 18, 2018 - Jade J., Miamisburg, OH "Our week at the cabin Even though the cabin slept 12 it was just my Husband and I and our 3 children who stayed in the cabin. We were there for 4 days and would have loved to stay longer. The only thing I didn’t quite care for wasn’t how close all the cabins were. Although we knew they would be somewhat close because it is a resort, we were literally right next to each other just didn’t leave us very much privacy. We enjoyed many attractions on Parkway and even in Gatlinburg! The kids absolutely loved that we had our own pool as well. Wonderworks was a GREAT place to go to with children. We spent an entire day inside there enjoying all it had to offer. We also enjoyed the Wax Museum and mamy, many other attractions. Overall our time there was amazing and although this isn’t my Huabdn and I’s first time there it was for our kids, and we’d have decided that we are going to officially make this our yearly summer trip ! " Jun 26, 2018 - Nicole G., Lima, OH "Swimming in Paradise review The cabin was spectacular. The kids loved the pool. They spent many hours swimming and we all loved the theater room. " Jun 25, 2018 - Travis A., Marion, IL "Not satisfied We have been to this cabin three years in a row and some of the same things are broken. The maintenance guys come out and take a picture then a year later it’s the same components broken. Additionally, maintenance had to Come out two or three additional times to repair things which causes a brak in alone time. I’m not happy at all and Elks Springs won’t be seeing me again." Jun 21, 2018 - Gaius B., Valrico, FL "What a Great Getaway If you are looking for a fantastic cabin for a Smokey Mountain Getaway then look at "Swimming in Paradise" The cabin has everything you need from spacious bedrooms, to a full kitchen, outdoor grill, hot tub, wonderful pool, theatre seating, and much more. Elk Spring is a truly professional company to do business with and they will make sure everything meets your needs." May 08, 2018 - David C., Scottsburg, IN "Spring Break 2018 Great vacation and a wonderful cabin. The property was very clean and provided a wonderful atmosphere for our family. We would definitely stay here again! The only down side is that the kitchen gear needs to be replaced. I know it is a rental but the knives could only cut butter (knife sharpener didn't work), can opener was broken, non-stick pans were tired and no longer non-stick. The management staff was wonderful and did a great job of replacing some items but when you need to use a kitchen item to prepare a meal it's hard to wait for someone to bring you a replacement later in the day. " Apr 10, 2018 - Janet Y., Gladwin, MI "We would come again! Very clean, had all the things you could need including cookware! The piol was secure and made me feel safe with the kids. Not much of a viewbut great location!" Apr 04, 2018 - , Seville, OH "Swimming in Paradise We had a wonderful experience staying with Elk Srings. The cabin was 4 floors of amazing and very clean. Check in was quick and easy. The pool was a great size for our group of 7. Very close to all the attractions and shopping. The only problem we did have was the sheets were clean but the blankets on the bed were gross. We didn't call but we did go to the local Walmart and buy some for our group. Other then that we had an amazing time and are planing to return next spring." Mar 25, 2018 - Kimberly B., Gages Lake, IL "Swimming in Paradise Overall rental experience was good, but the cabin had a few issues that need addressing. The cabin itself is beautiful, as is the pool and movie room. However, cleaning needs to be a priority. The filters, floors and other areas need major attention - along with making sure all light fixtures are working (light bulbs). The movie room projector needs attention with a new bulb as well. There is a considerable amount of trash on the back exterior of the cabin which is an eye sore for the amount of time we spent on the back decks. Overall, the place is very nice, but definitely needs some upgrades for bedding and pillows. " Mar 22, 2018 - , Cottondale, AL "Elk Springs Resort Review It was a great experience. Pool and jacuzzi were very nice. The pool table was fun. A great place to gather with family and friends for a nice getaway. " Mar 14, 2018 - , Mount juliet , TN "Best vacation My family and I had a great experience and wonderful time here was worth every penny and even worth the long drive thank you for a wonderful experience." Mar 12, 2018 - Rebecca W., Mascoutah, IL "Good times The pull out sofas we're so uncomfortable we had to put the mattresses in the floor the beds were not much better. Other than that the cabin was great we had a good time and enjoyed our time there." Mar 05, 2018 - Rick D., Knoxville, TN "Best cabin for a family! My family frequents the smoky mountain annually and has done so for the past decade. "Swimming in Paradise" Cabin exceeded our expectations and has become our favorite cabin. Key features I loved but did not see written anywhere prior to arrival were; easy access to cabin during wintery weather, 4 stories, built in audible safety feautures for the pool, and so much more. We will be back! " Feb 21, 2018 - , Huntersville, NC "Loads of fun with Private Pool in Cabin Very satisfied with cabin stay. Kids loved it, so did adults." Dec 27, 2017 - Melodee C., South Shore, KY "Four days in Paradise My family and I had a marvelous experience at our vacation rental. My grand daughters especially enjoyed the hot tub and double bunk beds. As for the adults we had plenty of space and even managed to cook Thanksgiving dinner together without incident. We loved the scenery and some wonderful walks." Dec 12, 2017 - Linda M., Cygnet, OH "WORST TRIP EVER!!! My husband & some friends rented this cabin for me as a surprise birthday weekend get away. Once we got there we immediately noticed the pool was cold & the hot tub didn't work. We called it in. The next day there were technicians there for 4 hours, no fix, the next day for 2 and a half more hours, still no fix! We paid around $1700 for this cabin for the weekend & the customer service end & request for compensation was completely mishandled & ********! We later found out the cabin wasn't even suppose to be rented until maintenance was done, yet they did anyway for the money! Unbelievable!" Nov 15, 2017 - Kristen J., Greenville, SC "Great cabin This rental has everything you need to never wanna leave the cabin, something for the whole family to do n the kids never get bored. Also not far which is a plus it’s soon as you come into sevierville" Oct 19, 2017 - Yalanda W., Knoxville, TN "Quick Family Trip We were very fortunate to find this rental on short notice. Our family wanted to take one last trip before the start of the school year and we found Swimming in Paradise! The cabin was close to all the attractions and restaurants and the amenities were awesome. Thanks for providing a clean, well maintained, budget friendly location!" Sep 05, 2017 - , Crown City, OH "not worth the money the pool was 101 degrees when we arrived. my family had to help drain the pool and then the heater had to be turned off. so the water was not too warm the rest of our trip. the hot tub had one jet that worked. the neighbors are way to close and the back view was nothing but trees and high grass." Aug 02, 2017 - Bonnie W., Patoka, IL "Great pool and convenient location! This cabin is located about 10 minutes from Pigeon Forge and about 30 minutes from Gatlinburg. Pro's: pool is great/nice size, location to everything, good size for 2 families. Con's: it was really dirty, they swept the floors but didn't clean, hot tub just 2 jets working but still fine, pool on last day was at 102, grill looked like it had never been cleaned/emptied. (To their defense, we didn't provide feedback until the end of our stay b/c we didn't want to fool with it on our vacation ... they were definitely great to work with when we were booking so I'm sure they would have remedied things if we brought them up). The layout is fine for 2 families but no more. Also, just a heads up that the bedrooms are right next to each other. I don't think this chalet was a good value for the price but the kids loved our stay and their vote counts most." Jul 17, 2017 - Todd H., Cincinnati, OH "Needs some work and updates To start all of the large kitchen appliances have lose pieces and the refrigerator barely keeps things cool. There are so few serving dishes that it is difficult to make a meal. By the end of the week there were mouse droppings in the main floor bath? The decks definitely need updated including the furniture. The grill is a joke being that small and barely works. There are parts if the floor and steps that are uneven and make u feel like the cabin is going to drop off the hill. The upstairs does not get below 78 unless it is 2:00 in the morning when the neighborhood hound dog barking and howling his way through the entire night and does not stop until 7:00!!! There is not a fan that can drowned out the constant barking. The mattresses need replaced and the carpet as well. It makes your feet black! It is obvious that this is just a rental property and it has been rented a ton. The owners need to put some money back in it if they are going to continue to charge that much. We had friends staying in a cabin in the same complex that they rented from vrbo and we definitely had cabin envy. How do you not even have granite counter tops and a **** garbage disposal!!!! The bedding is just gross and had cigarette burns in the bunk beds. Please please get some decent pillows. I did not expect all if this for the price I was paying! The check in and out was great and I appreciated being checked on during our stay. I was assured this was a luxury cabin and it is not. It is average and in desperate need of the owners putting money back into it. I would not choose this cabin again but would stay at elk springs away from the barking dog that kept the whole family from getting a good night's sleep for a week. The cabin had been cleaned but made you feel dirty with how old and run down things were. The kitchen floors are like a skating rink when you are trying to cook! If I had to guess this cabin is 15yrs old and has the same bedding and furniture since day one." Jul 11, 2017 - , Ashville, OH "Fantastic Week - Reading and Swimming! If you are considering booking this property... Do it now! It was a fantastic stay. The kids had an absolute blast. We didn't need any assistance from the property management team. However, if you do they are willing and available...they checked on us a couple of times during our one week stay. Thank you, Robert" Jul 03, 2017 - Robert S., Frankfort, KY "vacation turned disaster..... Had to move to a different cabin due to water leak. Lost entire evening due to moving 9 people. The new cabin was small and no one slept because the mattresses were TERRIBLE! I mean so hard our ribs hurt.) Stayed at the Eagles Nest for 34 hours then had to move again to Cherokee Charm, basically same cabin, bad beds, small. The management did give us that night for so called "free" but I think we were owed much more, due to the inconvenience we were dealt our entire stay. Normally I don't write a bad review, but this vacation turned out to be exhausting and disappointing. We even got locked out on the Cherokee Charm cabin Thursday night. There were never enough towels even for one night. We washed towels every single day. As far as clean, not so much. Our guest with us found lady's panties behind their bed, our feet & socks were filthy every cabin we stayed in. So luxury.... no not Luxury. So glad to be back in my cabin in WV!" Jun 22, 2017 - Misty D., Exchange, WV "Great time in an amazing cabin! It was a slow start due to a Spring storm that caused a power outage but Elk Springs was so sweet and helped us so much. And we ended up an a different cabin than what we had initially rented but everything was great! Clean, relaxing and the pool was wonderful!!!" Jun 19, 2017 - Billy B., Clarksburg , WV "AMAZING Wow! What a great experience. We loved every minute of it! The pool was bigger than the last pool cabin so that was nice, we enjoyed the hot tub, the grill, the pool table, the movie theater was sooo cute, and we liked the space. It was basically 4 floors and big enough that my kids took some time to remember where the bathroom was. Everything was nice and neat, clean and we had a great time. The 1st night was just the 4 of us and the 2nd night we had some friends stay and they had a wonderful time. My husband wants to go back right away! Ohhhh and I enjoyed the sauna in the downstairs shower. Was soooo nice. " Jun 14, 2017 - , Abingdon, VA "Swimming in Paradise Overall, we really enjoyed our stay! The cabin was beautiful, exactly as pictured/described, and the amenities were fantastic. Having the pool directly in the cabin was great especially on rainy days. A few things that prevent me from going 5-stars overall: Late check-in. We arrived after a 9-hour drive at about 2:30 PM expecting a 3:00 PM check-in or earlier. I received a call exactly at 2:30 indicating that there would be a delay. The cleaning crew arrived at 3PM and rushed through the cleaning while we waited. After they left, we received 2 incorrect door codes and had to call and wait for the problem to be corrected. We didn't end up getting into the cabin until almost 5PM while dealing with 3 very anxious kids who had been in the car up for 9 hours. If I was contacted a bit earlier - I could have planned accordingly and stopped in town to do some shopping, etc. Second - the plumbing. There is almost zero water pressure, especially if anybody else is using water. Showers were tough, and every drain in the house was slow. Sinks filled while washing hands or brushing teeth and although minor - was somewhat obnoxious. Also minor - but I felt they could have provided some more appropriate towels for pool usage. The thin, tiny towels stocked by the pool could hardly cover my 5 year old and made it very difficult to dry at least to a point of not tracking significant water up the stairs out of the pool. The stairs by the way are wood and became dangerously slick when wet. Last - the jets in the hot tub never worked properly. Kind of a bummer, and they did provided a number to call for problems with the hot tub, but I just didn't want to deal with it. Again - problems were fairly minor and we did really enjoy our stay. Proximity to Wahoo ziplines, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg (a bit further then I thought) was good and allowed us to explore and do several activities." Apr 14, 2017 - , Brighton, MI "AWESOME STAY AT SWIMMING IN PARADISE. this cabin was awesome ! the stay was nice everything was very clean, i would have several questions and Erika Hall would reply very very fast ! loved that ! the stay was nice , the cabin was nice ! loved the pool !" Apr 14, 2017 - Ramon R., Forest Park, GA "GREAT WEEKEND we couldnt get the sound bar to work and we werent very impressed with the hot tub,except for that great cabin and we had a great weekend!" Mar 04, 2017 - Crystal S., Blountville, TN "Could have been better. The cleaning of the cabin was disappointing. The floors were dirty and the pool and hot tub was in need of cleaning. The coffee pot didn't work and the fridge didn't despence ice. " Mar 03, 2017 - Patricia K., Johnson City, TN "Swimming in Paradise The cabin was huge with 4 floors. It had everything we needed for a fun filled vacation!! The indoor pool was GREAT!! I would recommend this to anyone!!!" Mar 01, 2017 - Christine B., Spring Arbor, MI "Overall Good Trip but Room for Improvement Good overall stay - kids and family had fun. The pool and spaciousness are a plus. Areas for improvement: - Cleanliness. There was noticeable dust on hard surfaces (top of fridge, furniture, TV stands, etc...). There was dried food on the sides of the kitchen table and on the bar eating area. I ended up wiping everything down with a Lysol wipes after arrival. Additionally, there was a small puddle of orange-yellowish food substance in the pool area by one of the dehumidifiers. I covered and had kids stay away. - Furniture and amenities. The previous guest broke the main sleeper sofa in the living room. Maintenance could not repair. Had to alter sleeping arrangements and the couch was uncomfortable to sit on (sloped towards floor); no recourse offered. A chair in the living room was also cracked. The projector TV was not ready for use. After investigating, I had to hook HDMI cable to rear of ceiling mount projector. Equipment should be ready to use by guests and not require troubleshooting. Resort staff were friendly and responsive. I would recommend to a friend. Thanks. " Feb 09, 2017 - Jason A., Cincinnati, OH "Loved Swimming in paradise Everything was nice, the beds were comfortable. Couldn't enjoy the balcony's in the daylight because of the bees. If anything that needs improving its the Carpentar/Bumble bee's all around all the porches. I've heard it's hard to keep them down because of the wood the cabins are made of. Other than that everything else was great. " Feb 06, 2017 - Asia O., Cordova, TN "Great place We had a great time at a good place. The unit could have been cleaned better but overall very nice place. Maintenance and staff was very friendly and responsive. " Feb 04, 2017 - Brian G., Cincinnati, OH "Beautiful cabin rental We had an amazing time in our swimming in paradise cabin! It was amazing, and a gorgeous place. It accommodated the 6 adults and 6 children we had perfectly. We were just far enough out of town that it want too busy but close enough that we could explore. We even took the hour trip to go white water rafting with smoky mountain outdoors services. I highly recommend that it was phenomenal! I definitely would come back and have told everyone I know about it!" Jan 15, 2017 - Becky O., East Jordan, MI "Great potential, but for the money far too many dissapointments! Overall, the cabin is very nice. There is plenty of space to move around, even for a group of 11. The theater room was great for the kids and they also enjoyed the pool table and arcade games. It has the potential to be five stars, however, during our stay we experienced several challenges which left much to be desired. First, it was apparent that the comforters had not been washed as they were stained which was disgusting. First, we tried to wash them ourselves, but since they didn't fit into the washing machine, that confirmed they were never washed. I was forced to go into town and purchase brand new comforters for each bed so that my guests were able to enjoy clean linen. Next, the pool's heater was not working. Maintenance was responsive, but the heated pool was never hot so the children didn't get to use the amenity, which was actually the main reason we booked this property. Finally, the sleeper sofa was broken in the living area so for the first night, my 65 y/o dad had to sleep on a small couch instead and I had to purchase him an air mattress the next day. While the scenery was great, all of these issues could have been easily prevented had a quality control check of the cabin been conducted prior to our family's arrival. At this price point during Thanksgiving week, I expected much more. If the above items are regularly addressed, I would recommend this particular cabin to a friend; that is a big if, however. " Dec 18, 2016 - Derrick W., Nolensville, TN "Underwhelmend Fireplaces didn't work. Ice maker didn't work. Hot tub not turned on. Not enough hot water to fill the tub in master bath. Some restrooms didn't have toilet paper. Remotes to all televisions didn't work. Stereo system in media room didn't work. I could go on but not enough room" Nov 24, 2016 - Michael C., Old Hickory , TN "Nice cabin for group outing Rooms were tidy, water in jacuzzi was clean and kept at comfy temperature, location was a bit tricky to find, access to internet was good, price was reasonable. We had water leakage issues one day but the property management company sent some to fix it in a professional and timely manner. Will come back :)" Oct 27, 2016 - , Atlanta, GA "Fantastic We rented the cabin for my daughter's birthday. When we arrived a smoke dectetor was beeping. We called and it was fixed within the hour. The cabin was spotless and pool and hot tub was very clean. This was a wonderful experience and I highly reccomend this company. (I was also worried the pool temp would be too cold but it was perfect.)" Oct 04, 2016 - Abby B., Maryville, TN "Not what I expected. Although I was pleased with the rental process and the location of this property, overall I would not recommend it to another renter based on my experience. Several of the past reviews raved about how clean and well taken care of the property was so I was looking forward to that but I was very unpleasantly surprised. Although the cabin was neat and appeared clean at first glance, it was actually very dirty and not at all well-maintained. The floors had been cleaned in the middle but were filthy around the edges, there were large chunks of cobwebs hanging from the ceiling and the shower floors were visibly dirty. Although we brought basic supplies, we were not equipped with nor expecting to do the kind of cleaning needed for what we found. In addition to the lack of cleanliness, there was a broken toilet seat, several burned out light bulbs and the grill was out of gas. I was also surprised by how unequipped the cabin was for cooking. For a property meant to sleep 12, there wasn't even a full sized skillet to cook in or any bowls larger than a cereal bowl. I had to go buy a skillet just to make scrambled eggs for a family of five. I'm sure that if I had contacted the staff regarding some of the issues, they would have been happy to address them but after calling maintenance twice in the first day, we just didn't want to spend our entire vacation calling for service. The majority of the issues were things that were clearly a result of lack of attention and should not have needed anyone to point them out. The cabin is in a great location and is a good setup for a large family or group. The kids loved having an indoor pool and enjoyed the pool table. If the maintenance and housekeeping issues were addressed, it would be a great vacation but was definitely not worth what we paid as it was. I was really excited and looking forward to this vacation cabin but I was very disappointed and did not feel that it was a good value at a" Jun 26, 2016 - , Festus, MO "Swimming in Paradise cabin My family stayed at this cabin for 5-days and had an excellent rental experience. The cabin was in excellent shape and very clean. The amenities were well proportioned for an extended stay. The best feature for us was the indoor heated pool. There were plenty of things to do with the home theater, sauna, hot tub, whirlpool tub game room and plenty of sitting areas to relax inside and outside. Everything from gas grill to ice maker worked without issue." Jun 02, 2016 - Mark G., Louisville, KY "wonderful stay I came down with my entire family. everyone loved it. the cabin was very clean, the pool was fantastic and the staff at the resort very helpful." May 01, 2016 - , Henry, VA "Swimming in Paradise, Spring Break I think the cabin was nice and spacious great place to stay in the Gatlinburg area away from all the hussle and bussle. The kids enjoyed the pool as well as the pool table and theater area very much! Only a couple of issues that needed addressed. By the end of the week the pool was cloudy and low on water, possibly a midweek check in on it. The cleaning people could be more thorough, some things were a little grimy. There where several light bulbs out throughout the cabin and 1 overhead light in a bedroom which never worked even after placing three service calls. Lastly the yellow jackets were numerous around all cabins which was nerving for small children an attempt at trying to rid the place of them might be beneficial. " Apr 24, 2016 - , SYLVANIA, OH "Great place to get away We had a great time at Swimming in Paradise. Everything was clean and the pool was great." Apr 17, 2016 - , Farmington, MI "Wonderful Stay This was a wonderful family experience for us. Wonderful layout, very thoughtfully designed for family accomodations. The only negative was the HotTub was very dirty, filmy and smelly. Called Maintenance which they were quick to respond but chemicals did not resolve the issue, therefore it was unusable during our stay. Needed to be drained and refilled." Apr 10, 2016 - Tamara P., Mooresville, NC "Scotty D's 40th My wife and I took our 6 year old boy, 22 month boy, and out 10 month old boy-girl twins to Gatlinburg for my 40th birthday on the weekend of the 23rd. Our original cabin (A Secret Spash) has a very steep drive way from either direction that made my wife uncomfortable. They kindly moved us to this one and we loved it!!!!!" Apr 01, 2016 - Scott D., Murfreesboro, TN "Average Stay Was a little disappointed with the view but knew we were compromising for the pool this time. Cabin was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the movie room but weren't used to it sharing a bedroom. The pool was good sized but was hotter than the hot tub so kids didn't use as much as I had hoped. Also was too cloudy to see the bottom. The master jacuzzi tub wasn't able to be used as there wasn't enough warm water to fill above the jets." Mar 14, 2016 - Larry L., Kirksville, Missouri "A little but of swimming with no management to be found. Well to start with we weren't able to check in until about 6pm because the pool heater was broken. They could not get the part so the pool was unavailable to us from Feb 17-21. We checked out the morning of the 23rd. First let me say that we completely understand things break. Maintenance worked very hard to get the issue fixed and we're very friendly and helpful as was Lois. She is the lady at the office who we spoke to 90% of the time she was very friendly and understanding. Overall the cabin is incredible as long as everything works. What was not incredible, but instead disgraceful is the management or lack thereof of. We were told by Lois on the day of check in that she was given word our stay would be refunded for any time without the pool working. It is now the 25th and we STILL HAVE NOT HEARD ONE WORD FROM A MANAGER. We didn't receive 1 phone call asking how we were, apologizing, or saying they were working on it. Even after calling and requesting to speak to a manager multiple times (we were always told they werent in that day) and saying how upset we were that management was ignoring us and treating us like a number. This is not how you do business and definitely not how you treat customers. Cabin was nice, but the so called management is a joke. We still have not received our refund or gotten a call from managementhe over one week after our check in date." Feb 28, 2016 - Billy S., Kouts, IN "Unsatisfactory The only problem I had was the hot water did not work kept kicking the breaker. I called management about it they were very helpful but when the maintenance people came all they did was reset the breaker no hot water again. Called again 2nd guy said it was a on going problem breaker needed to be changed out to a bigger size but no one would authorize it so he reset it again no hot water again. Called again to management they sent another guy out and he changed the breaker to a bigger size and we had no problems after that but I was our last day. This should have been fixed before we arrived and should been handled in a more professional manner with management. No one offered any compensation of any kind when you pay that kind of money for something it is should be right." Dec 15, 2015 - Jesse C., Moss Point, MS "Stay in Swimming in paradise A very nice and well deserved relaxing week for my wife and I." Nov 11, 2015 - Arthur W., Moundsville, WV "higgs stay We had a blast everything was wonderful and when we called customer service they were so helpful or returned our phone call. Our family was so so pleased with the xabin it was clean, and beautiful." Oct 21, 2015 - Antonia H., Owensboro, KY "Recommend! The cabin is absolutely recommended! The cookwares, furnitures, environment are beyond expectation, and the rooms are very clean and new. The only thing that's not that satisfactory is the location. This cabin is about 30 minutes away from the mountain area. I guess other cabins in the main resort will have better location. But overall, this cabin is very very good and not expensive! " Oct 21, 2015 - Ran Z., Durham, NC "Amazing Stay! From the time we arrived, until the time we left the staff was amazingly attentive. They ensured our complete satisfaction, comfort and expectations. We will definitely stay again." Oct 14, 2015 - , Atlanta, GA "Best all around I stayed at Elk Springs last year and thought it was the best experience ever. When I decided to come back this year I thought it was no way it could be better but I was wrong. The cabin was spectacular and like last year, spotless. There is so much to do in the area but we found ourselves staying in most of the time because we were having so much fun. Between the pool and theater room you could never get bored. The customer service is the best I have ever seen. I give it A++! I'm already planning another trip for later this year. I can't wait to go back. " Oct 01, 2015 - Bashara H., Salem, AL "Family Getaway We recently took the family up and stayed at the Swimming in Paradise. The family absolutely loved it and the kids already want to go back in the summer instead of the beach!! The wife and I are already planning a fall getaway. Just a little note on how much they take care of you and your needs...they call to make sure that everything is going well for you while your there. My children left there Playstation 4 and an iPad at the cabinet when we were cleaning up to leave and when we got home they were upset about losing there stuff. We contacted them and they shipped it right to our house!!! We can't say enough good things about them! Thanks again and we will be back again!" Aug 26, 2015 - Jeremy P., Harrisburg, NC "Review We rented the cabin for the pool. Unfortunately, the pool was cloudy and green. With much maintenance and losing an entire day of swimming they finally got the problem corrected. With this being said, the cabin otherwise, was very clean, spacious and exactly what we wanted. They were also very helpful and accommodating when we did need maintenance. We also received compensation for the inconvenience of the cloudy pool. " Aug 16, 2015 - , Harrison, OH "Do not waist the extra money to stay here. We have stayed at many different cabins, in the past. We decided to spend the extra money on this cabin, because it had a pool. You would think with amount that is charged for this cabin, you would have no issues. We were unable to check in on time, and then couldn't check in when we were told we could. After checking in we had no linens or supplies until sometime after 8:00 that night. We had multiple problems, we stayed four nights and I called at least once a day and sometimes multiple times a day with issues. Someone would come out, but again when you pay what they charge, the cabin should be in excellent condition, fully stocked, and everything in proper working order. Management refused to do anything to compensate for the inconvenience. I would not stay here again or recommend anyone stay with Elk Springs. Worse vacation in the mountains, we have ever had." Aug 03, 2015 - Kimberly C., Blaine, TN "Swimming in paradise Awesome!!" Jul 22, 2015 - Darla F., Eunice, La. "LOVED THIS PLACE!!!!! This cabin, is for anyone looking to have nothing but a blast vacation!! We used the pool every night and loved the privacy layout of the bedrooms. Pool table upstairs was awesome!! Would love to come back someday." Jun 20, 2015 - Kristy F., Naperville, il "One of the best vacations ever Absolutely tremendous." Jun 01, 2015 - , Somerville, Alabama "best week of my life! The cabin was beautifully decorated and extremely clean. There was a disappointment with the pool water was so cold we couldn't swim in it although we did try. In the end,my whole family wanted to move there. We plan on doing another vacation there again next year. Hopefully the pool heater will be working properly by then. We would like this same cabin again. Both I,my children, and grandchildren loved it!" May 20, 2015 - Amy W., Lavinia, TN "Great Time The staff was very accomodating to our need to switch cabins. The drive to the cabin we booked, was a really scary drive. Thankfully we were able to switch to a different cabin, this one, Swimming in paradise, which was perfect. The cabin was nice and the pool was great. The floors were a little dirty, there were some sticky spots, there was no drain plug in the kitchen, so it was a little difficult to wash dished. We were very satisfied with out stay and all the staff that worked with us to change cabins. We will definately stay here again." May 20, 2015 - Tina P., Glencoe, MN
