Elk Springs Resort in Gatlinburg, Tennessee

“Elk Springs was gorgeous, well maintained but a little dated in decor. It wasn’t a big issue but I don’t remember the listing saying that there were no bedrooms on the main floor but 3 are on the lower level, 1 upstairs, and the pullout couch in the game room upstairs. My mother broke her leg a few months ago and the stairs were hard for her some days. Also, check-in is listed as 3 pm but the week leading up to arrival, I received messages saying 3 pm is the target but not guaranteed. When driving from 8 hours away, finding something to do when check-in was delayed and all we wanted was to settle in was kind of a bummer. Other than that, it was peaceful and quiet, what we needed as a home base while exploring the area.”

“Loved the location. A little too far for us to walk but we just parked in town in one of the paid lots. Absolutely loved the babbling brook right outside off the balcony. Everything is dated but works well. The jacuzzi tub was very nice after a long day of walking. Works very well. We could definitely stay here again.”

“Very relaxing/great place to stay!”

“Overall a good stay. The place needed to be cleaned better. As there were cobwebs in the shower. Very dusty and outside area hadn’t been wiped down or cleaned in what seems like months. View isn’t what pictures show as trees have grown up and need trimmed”

“This place has a stunning view. The house is absolutely beautiful as well. I ended up driving down and never got a response from them once about check in which was stressful. I got there and called customer service finally got everything figured out. They do have well water so the water is stinky… which kinda sucks when ur paying a lot but it is the mountains 🤷🏼‍♀️. An the shower drain doesn’t drain that well.. there where crumbs on the mattress (under the sheet) when I took the sheet off after staying, an we couldn’t get the lower tv to work.. the upper tv is just cable.. but the hot tub was in an absolute beautiful location to watch the sun come up and see the moon over the mountains at night. It is in a very secluded area about 20 min away from a grocery store. I would stay here again, I’d just wash the sheets first and get groceries first, an bring shower steamers.”
