Best week in year's "

"Gatlinburg Trip
It was great, facility is top notch. My kids had a blast and we were close enough to town we could do things there. Having the ability to cook your own food was great and also saved money. "
Aug 17, 2024 - James R., Portage, MI
"Perfect family cabin
This cabin was conveniently located for our weekend plans. Not far from Rocky Top Sports World and an easy drive to town. The cabin was perfect in size for our family of 6 - we all had space and enjoyed the amenities. One suggestion I would leave is to have a little more seating/furniture downstairs for hanging out. "
Jul 29, 2024 - Abbey B., Lebanon, TN
"We loved the cabin
We enjoyed our second time staying with Elk Springs Resort. There was a plumbing issue in the bathroom that was taken care of. There was still a towel in that bathtub, it was there when we arranged. We did have an issue with the bigger size of black ants, I got a couple bites. That was in the bathroom and bedroom. Did report that along with the plumbing. Overall we still had a great time. "
Jul 22, 2024 - Jessica D., Athens, TN
"Desire Fulfilled
Overall, we had a great time and the cottage was great. We appreciated all amenities provided, including the laundry detergent. The rain shower was the favorite amenity. And we loved the back view and the hot tub under the stars. The only drawback was the lack of dresser space in the master bedroom - living out of our suitcases a little more than we prefer. Additionally, I swept most of the outdoor spider webs from the front of the cabin (except of the two currently occupied.) One last maintenance note - the bottom shelf of the freezer was not attached. "

"Best cabin for our stay!
This was the most charming cabin and the easiest experience ever! Every aspect, from the booking the rental to the day we left was a flawless experience. We loved the cabin, the location was perfect, and we had the best time! "

"Wonderful Cabin Getaway
Lovely cabin. Very clean and easy to get to."

"Great Cabin in the woods
Cute cabin, hot tub and in a cul de sac by the woods. Perfect for a couple and kids. The Elk Springs Resort staff was great about immediately responding to any questions we had. Will definitely use them again."
May 08, 2024 - , Schertz, TX
"Family Get-a-way
Great location and cabin! You are in the middle of "Nowhere" and at the same time, you are a short drive away from downtown Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The perfect amount of space for a family of five. I have already recommended Elk Springs Resort to several friends. One of them has already booked their trip for June. Another one is planning a trip for July. This is my second stay and I plan to return soon."
May 06, 2024 - Carmen D., Montgomery, AL
"Rustic cabin, conveniently located
We enjoyed our stay. The cabin could use some updates, floor vents upstairs are pretty dirty. There was still hair in the drain of the shower which I cleaned. Could use some additional furniture for seating in the living areas, otherwise it was ok. The company was easy to work with and I appreciated their flexibility. "
Mar 17, 2024 - Sarah E., Knoxville, TN
"A Desire Fulfilled Cabin Stay
Our cabin was perfect! Everything was exactly as advertised. I extended our stay so we could enjoy it one more day. The cabin was clean. It was secluded from most of the other cabins. We were tucked away in the woods for the week. Customer service was quick to answer questions prior to our stay. They were available if we needed anything during our stay but we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back! "
Feb 17, 2024 - Melissa L., Jackson Center, PA
"Elk Springs
Cabin was very quiet and relaxing. Enjoyed the visit from the bear when we arrived, I think he was just interested in what we were unloading from the car."
Aug 09, 2023 - Derek L., Lafayette, IN
"Elk Springs Resort is the BEST
We love Elk Springs Resort. We have stayed in Endless View, Copper Creek, Big Sky Lodge, The Game Changer, A Desire Fullfilled and we have our next trip planned to stay in Knotty & Nice. Elk Springs is amazing, beautiful cabins, perfect locations but most of all excellent customer service. My family and I won’t ever stay anywhere else. We have had no big issues - small things and when I tell you they respond quickly and fix every little detail on point I mean it! Absolutely the BEST in Tennessee!! "
Aug 07, 2023 - Michelle B., Hastings , MI
"Very beautiful cabin at a scenic location
Our family had a lot of fun staying at this cabin. It's very beautiful and well maintained with all the amenities that are needed. It was very relaxing. The management stuff is very helpful."
Aug 07, 2023 - Narasimha S., Dallas, TX
"Desire Fulfilled Thumbs Up
This cabin was very clean, well-kept, and a relaxing plus entertaining abode after hiking all day! I would highly recommend Elk Springs Resorts to anyone staying in the Gatlinburg area!"
Aug 01, 2023 - , Council Bluffs, IA
"Amazing getaway
Great resort to work with! Attentive to questions prior to the visit. The first morning they checked in proactively to see how everything was and enabled me to report an issue with hot water. They fixed it while we were out. Definitely would recommend this place to others to stay."
Jun 22, 2023 - , MONTICELLO, MN
"Fairly decent place to stay
So I know in our rental agreement it states that check in time could vary, however the morning of our arrival I received a text message asking for our time of arrival, it was going to be right around 3 (check in time). Upon arrival we received another text that our place was not ready yet. We had already booked dinner plans and after an 8 hour drive with 4 kids we needed to clean up and change before dinner, however because of lack of cleaning we couldn't get into our rental even though we said we would be there by 3. We ended up changing in the parking lot and went to dinner. The rental was finally ready by the time we got back that night. What was the point of giving our time of arrival if the rental wouldn't be ready until they were ready. Once we got back that night, we found a used dirty dish rag and dishes on the kitchen counter. Other than that, it was fairly clean. I'd say the place never has been dusted. The beds were covered in dust, windows clearly never cleaned, it was kind of gross in my opinion. The bed quilt was torn in many places as well. We also did wash our towels and found that the lint trap thingy had probably not been cleaned out in forever! The rental itself looked as pictured and the kids loved the place. I don't think I would spend that kind of money on it again though."

Everything was perfect My family had the best get away"

"Gatlinburg trip
The hot tub didn't have any power when we arrived. Of the 4TVs, 2 of them didn't work. The toilet in the main bath leaked water on the floor. The ice maker didn’t dispense ice. One of the lights over the counter was out and one in the second bath was out. There was no soap to run the dishwasher the morning we left. We texted several times with the office to get the hot tub resolved. After the second maintenance man came out he got it working. We were told it was not filled correctly. He also had an attitude about him. We tried the tv’s on Saturday. We called the office and were told we would receive a video. Neither my husband or myself received the video. We called Sunday about the tv’s and leaking toilet. A very nice maintenance man came out and fixed both very quickly. All these issues could have been prevented if the cabin was throughly checked over before we arrived. We have stayed at several of your cabins and this was by far the worst ."

"Simple but nice
Nice place, cleaners could pay a little more attention and the third fireplace in the bedroom is an electric one not gas or wood. "
Apr 11, 2023 - brian b., Maryville, TN
"Not a WOW Factor
We rented and stayed in this cabin 2/19/23 to 2/25/23. I would not recommend staying in this cabin until the property management deep cleans it. Don't be fooled by the pictures in their website. Pictures were obviously taken when cabin 1st built."

"Nice Canin
Gatlinburg was beautiful in October! Our cabin was beautiful! There were some maintenance issues with fireplaces, cleanliness and not everything provided as stated. Overall nice time for our Anniversary! "
Nov 06, 2022 - , Burlington , WI
"No cable
This cabin is beautiful, great location, however my only complaint during my stay is the cable was out and could not be fixed until after I departed. I felt that was a bit unreasonable as I had a child."
Oct 08, 2022 - KIM D., Winchester , KY
"Nice little cabin
This is a great little cabin in a good location. The cabin was clean. For us, a family of 4 it was great. There is limited places to set when your in the room with the pool table. Only seating for 2 people. Upstairs had a couch and the table and benches. Again not really enough seating for all 4 at the same time. The main bedroom is super spacious but had no place to put your clothes other than your suitcase. So if you plan to unpack you will need to bring hangers. Overall we really enjoyed the cabin and the location. "
Aug 01, 2022 - , Winfield, WV
"A Desire Unfulfilled
As my family and I approached the cabin, we noticed the front of the cabin is dusty and dirty and unkept. We were hoping that this would not be a precursor for the inside, however, it was. Upon entering the cabin, we couldn't help but notice the musty smell probably coming from the dingy carpet on the stairs and rug. There was dust and dirt in almost every corner even in the bathrooms. We had a chance to visit several other cabins since we were here for a family reunion. Our place was definitely SUBPAR in comparison. A Desire Fulfilled needs a top to bottom deep cleansing and update. This rental should be removed from the listing until the cleanliness issue is addressed and updates are performed. We originally reserved another cabin, however due to a death in the family, we had downsized. We would have kept our reservation if we knew that we were going to be downgraded."

"The Brown’s Review
Nice secluded cabin. "

"Great Time @ A Desire Fulfilled
My wife and I planned a long weekend getaway. The rental was exactly as described, so we are completely satisfied. The process to rent, sign agreements, get access and check out was simple. Also was able to stay connected with the property manager for any questions. "
Jan 19, 2022 - Michael L., Knoxville, TN
"Bittersweet
Remove rocks front from walkway-I fell in the dark, as I tripped over larks rocks -front door need a security door for fresh air -light over shower dont work in hall bathroom -all chairs need cushions. -bunkbed need steps -Bunk bed room closet smell like mold Master shower moldy smell and needs deep cleaning as floors are very slippery Fireplace in master bedroom is useless Fireplace had to be relit, as the blower did not come on Rug need to be cleaned upstairs Gas smell outside when first turning on fireplace upstairs "

"Upgraded Soccer Adventure
We loved this place! We travel often for soccer and dance and typical stay at your average hotel. We are so glad we chose this place. It was absolutely perfect for our family. Comfy feel, clean and perfect for hanging out with pool table, hot tub, foosball. We were able to easily visit all the local attractions and restaurants, but honestly looked forward to getting back at night so the family could hang out! We would definitely visit again. "
Dec 22, 2021 - Bruce M., Garner, NC
"Perfect place for a honeymoon
We stayed in A Desire Fulfilled for our honeymoon. While there are multiple cabins on the mountain, we were in a very private location. The cabin itself is beautiful. The views were wonderful while cooking in the kitchen. The fireplaces, hot tub, jacuzzi, and waterfall shower were incredible! Everything about our stay was as perfect as could be. We were close to a grocery store, gas station, shopping, etc., but still felt we were secluded. "
Dec 08, 2021 - , Boonville , IN
"Anniversary vacation
Overall we had a great stay. The house was perfect for the two of us and met all of our needs. We had issues with the gas fireplaces which they tried to fix while we were there but weren’t able to which was disappointing. The location was ok. Overlooked the woods but close to neighbors. They added a partition onto the deck to add privacy in the hot tub which was appreciated. "
Oct 24, 2021 - , Gilbertsville, PA
"Close by to attractions
The cabin itself is very nice. In a great location. Not very private, there was construction happening on the cabin right next door. When we arrived we had to call maintenance because the microwave didn’t work but it was fixed quickly . There was an ant problem upstairs in the kitchen. A couple items in the cabin were broken, and it looked like housekeeping didn’t clean very well before we got there. (Candy on the floor, etc) Otherwise was a nice stay. "

Loved this cabin. I would definitely come back. Shower was awesome! "

"First visit to Smoky Mountains
Very pleased with Elk Springs Resort. Due to the pandemic I had to push this vacation back from 2020 to 2021. The transfer was much easier than I could have imagined. Communication was excellent, especially the weeks prior to arrival. Check in was quick and easy and the cabin was beautiful. "
Aug 23, 2021 - Jackie E., Baldwinville, MA
"The Cabin Experience
it’s not what I expected it’s smaller & has neighbors close to each other I prefer the view looking across the mountains away from others looking at stars at night in the balcony the master’s bedroom is ok but the second room is too small without a view outside the window the kitchen don’t have enough utensils the knives are dull the middle bathroom is too small over all I didn’t like it I’d pay more for convenience & the view "
Jul 26, 2021 - , Bolivar, TN
"A Desire Fulfilled
Cabin was very clean, good location from Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Very quite area with great privacy. I would have like to of had a bathroom upstairs. We spent most of our time on the lower level and there was only a loveseat for sitting. If you have family that has trouble getting up and down stairs I would not recommend this particular cabin. "
Jul 12, 2021 - Jamie W., Lenoir , NC
"Slightly Disappointed
This cabin certainly appeared bigger and more up to date on the website pictures. We were surprised at how small it actually was. The cabin needs some upgrades. Our thermostat was broken and needed replacing, so it was difficult to control the temperature. We spent the first night extremely cold. There were cobwebs on the bed frame, and there were wire spikes that scratched us a few times. It was hard to cook a meal given the lack of pots, pans, and tools that some of the other cabins come with. The furniture on the bottom level needs some deep cleaning or replacing. We stayed at a different cabin right before visiting this one and the experience was night and day. Upgrades would really do this cabin some justice."

Really enjoyed the cabin! Great location and very lovely! We really enjoyed the pool table!"

"Fun get away!
Loved this cabin, it was clean and neat! Pool table was nice and hot tub was clean . Only a few things needed fixed was the 18 ft rain shower smelled like mildew and mold, which im sure its from the steam and it being so tall to clean, the mattress was hard, after one bad night of sleep we went to town and bought a memory foam mattress topper, the love seat couch downstairs was nice just small and no seating when 99% of the time was spent down there. Also bedroom tv was old and very small. "
Mar 02, 2021 - , Gadsden, AL
"Horrible
The dishes in the cabinets were dirty with food particles. Wine glass even still had someone’s lips. Mold was in the top of the shower. The hot tub was cloudy and had a bandaid stuck on the side. The heat didn’t work and when the office was contacted they told me they would send someone to fix it and clean. Who wants someone to come in and clean during a pandemic and while we are on vacation. After spending a whole day contacting the office I was finally refunded one nights stay. I should have been refunded the full amount considering our vacation was ruined and my kids couldn’t even get in the hot tub. Awful experience. They did mail a laptop to me that was left after my stay which was nice. "

"Honeymoon Stay
Overall our stay was wonderful. We even stayed an extra night because we were truly enjoying ourselves. The rain shower and hot tub were our favorite amenities. My only complaint is about the sheets on the bed. They were awful! I had to go to Walmart after the first night and purchase my own sheets. Other than that, it was great. "
Oct 16, 2020 - Crystal H., Severn, MD
"A Desire Fulfilled Cabin
Overall the cabin was ok. It was definitely smaller than what we expected and not completely clean. The second room is extremely small. It's only about 2 feet between the bed and wall, and the cabin doesn't have sufficient seating for the amount of people the cabin is supposed to hold, which resulted in most of us sitting on the wooden benches in the kitchen the entire weekend, but we made it work. "
Oct 13, 2020 - , Huntsville, AL
"Not up to expectations
Unfortunately I feel like photos were quite misleading as to size of the unit. 8 people would have been on top of each other. The fold out couch was broke and underwear were still in it so it had not been cleaned. If our entire original party had come there would not have been enough beds. The hot tub leaked. Location was good and communication from elk Springs was good but they were unable to help with a fan when the couch was unusable."
Aug 04, 2020 - Lois A., Keller, TX
"A Desired Fulfilled
Overall our experience was good. A few problems came up during our short stay. The hot tub was leaking. We contacted maintenance and they came out quickly to refill tub, but it needs real repairs that they were seemed to already know about. Also the digital lock was not working correctly the last night we were there. Other than that it was a good spot for 2 in a nice secluded community."
Jul 21, 2020 - Joel B., sylvania, OH
"Desire un fullfilled
Communication is poor, no one ever answers the phone. Room was not ready by 3, but 4:30. Because it was being cleaned. The vents were filthy, kitchen table full of crumbs, base boards filthy. Pool table located against the wall, you cant shoot pool. Surface of table terrible. Had a ping pong ball instead of a foosball? And prior to my arrival i was spammed with a 6 digit code prior to my arrival, at least 50 times, 6 in 15 minutes. It came from escapia. When i brought it to someones attention, " they were simply confused" by my email. Im still waiting on a 252.52 credit voucher to be applied to my credit card. This information was given to your staff, i was told it was sent to accounting, never heard anything back, again poor communication. Let people know in advance, their is no Sprint/Internet connection, until you get in the cabin. I had to drive to town when i arrived to receive a code. Very stressfull after a long drive"

The Stay was amazing great location perfect cabin for the family. The only thing that I might suggest is getting a more comfortable mattress for the Master Bedroom. After the first night we slept in our kids room the rest of the stay."

"A Desire Fulfilled - Weekend Break
The cabin is in a great location. It's the right size for a couple or small family. I would definitely recommend it. The only negative is the exterior photos give the impression of a view from the back deck. To be clear, there is no view. As long as this does not bother you, the cabin is perfect."

"The Desire Was Fullfilled
This cabin was awesome. We went for our honeymoon and let me tell you, the tower shower will not disappoint. The cabin is beautiful and not far from all the main attractions nearby. The cabin was clean and we had everything we needed. The grocery store is just down the road. I can't say enough about our stay. You will not be disappointed. We will stay again!"

"Cabin named "A Desire Fulfilled.
The cabin was nestled in the woods, so the view was nice if you like the woods. Enjoyed playing pool and Foosball. We did have a problem with millipedes on the bottom floor. Management had the bottom level sprayed, and offered to move us, but we stayed."

"A Desire Fulfilled Stay
The cabin was exactly like the pictures, Very beautiful. But the bbq didn't work, the master bedroom comforter had a huge yellow stain on the underside which we didn't notice until a few nights into our stay, and once I took the sheets off of the master bed as we were getting ready to check out, I saw blood and various other stains on the mattress protector.

This cabin was perfect for our weekend getaway. The property pictures and descriptions we're what first caught our eye but being there and seeing it first-hand was even better. We will definitely be visiting this cabin again and take our children next time."

"Wonderful Stay - Great Tennessee Getaway
My wife and I had a wonderful stay at this rental cabin. The staff was friendly and helpful, we really had no issues at all. Nice location, and so many great amenities. The property description was completely accurate and the cabin was in great shape. We really enjoyed to hot tub, pool table, and numerous TVs in the cabin. We ate at the old mill and shopped at the outlet stores - it was such a nice, cozy getaway!"

This cabin was decorated just as the pictures were advertised. Clean, spacious all over really nice. It was easy to get to, signs were posted which made our arrival stress-free. Judy called to make sure that everything was going well which was a surprise because Ive never had anyone to actually call and check to make sure we were okay. I will definitely book with them again.

"2 night stay at a Desire Fulfilled
Cabin was beautiful, clean, everything pictured. We wish we could have stayed longer. My 8 year old and his friend loved the hot tub and pool table. Close enough to both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg that we made several trips from cabin to those places daily. Possible downfalls: Gps took us several different routes. The go to route was VERY difficult to navigate, up VERY steep narrow roads, many roads without guard rails. would NOT recommend staying during winter without really good 4 wheel drive :) Wifi is great but we had NO phone service at all, at the cabin or in town. We didn't receive our "welcome call" until we had been driving 3 hours to leave the cabin. "2-3 day supply" of toilet paper is actually just 1 roll in each bathroom. Just in case people expect more :) "

"Not luxurious
This home is in serious disrepair and the pictures do not represent its current state. The entire home reeked of old hot tub water, including the downstairs loveseat which could not even be used given the stench. I wish we hadn’t tried to soak away a day of hiking as the swimsuits are no longer usable given the stale water stench. The rain shower is aimed at the door and as such was not enjoyable and barely functioned as a shower. The dust and overall lack of cleanliness left is all with sinus infections. The bed clothes were stinky. The pool table felt was torn, which is a problem for me as I love billiards and had looked forward to teaching my child. The deck offered no views of anything but the trees immediately next to it. Sitting on the deck still should have been peaceful but it was not given the constant construction noise. The carpet was thread bare and torn in both bedrooms. Starving bears were seen several times in the driveway. I contacted the property managers upon arrival about the homes stench and misrepresentation and was brushed off. I contacted them again when I received the email to review them and they assured me that they would refund some of my money. They never called me back or refunded a dime. Before booking I made it clear that I needed a clean place and they lied. Very disappointing. "

"Short getaway in "A Desire Fulfilled"
My wife and I stayed in A Desire Fulfilled for two nights, and it wasn't long enough! We loved the semi-secluded location, and the cabin was wonderful. There were a couple very minor issues (icemaker not working and some brush growing up over the back deck) but it did not bother us during our stay. We loved the rainfall shower! We have stayed at Elk Springs Resort twice before and will plan on returning the next time we can get away!"

"Gatlinburg Family Vaca
This is an absolutely beautiful home!! The SHOWER...lets talk about that shower WOW oh WOW. The cabin had everything we needed for a nice, quiet, relaxing stay. We returned home completely rejuvenated and ready to concur the world once more. The only downfall is the view. I knew there would not be a mountain view and I was ok with that but, literally when you walk out on the back deck you are greeted by a wall of trees......maybe a little bit of trimming would help...."

"Not a luxury cabin as advertised!
The cabin was advertised as sleeping 8. We had a family of 7 and it was extremely tight. The kitchen held 7 people at the table. Other than that there was NO where for us to sit. The upstairs had one couch that held 3 people. The downstairs had a love seat and wooden rocker-seating. The deck had 4 wooden rocking chairs and one was broken. There was no where for our family to sit and be together...which was the purpose of our family vacation!
Sleeping 7 people was also a challenge. We had 3 teenagers in the bunk bed room. We had 2 adult males sleeping on the sleeper sofa --they did NOT sleep well at all. The bed was uncomfortable and was extremely noisy. Every time they moved, the noise was so loud in the master bedroom below, that we did not sleep either! It sounded like someone was breaking in or scraping the floor. Horrible noises!
Curb appeal was poor- the cabin was located in a stoned cul-de-sac. Our cabin had weeds growing in the eaves near the roofline. The driveway had large ruts that made our car bottom out even when driving extremely slow.
Luxury cabin--NOT! The carpet in the master bedroom was all ripped and torn. The bedspread in the master bedroom was ripped. There was nowhere to set our luggage/suitcases. (Unless we piled them up in closet) The teeny tiny dresser did not hold much! In addition to the lack of storage for our clothes, there was no where to place our toiletries! So, they sat on the floor in bags. The blankets in the bunk bed room and ones for the pull out couch were disgusting, stained and nasty.
We found a bug (cockroach) in our bed on the 2nd night! You don’t sleep well knowing that there are bugs in your bed. The last night we were there was a snake, YES!, a snake was slithering around on the bathroom floor Contacted Elk Springs and they were like "sorry-nothing we can do after your stay. You should have called during your visit! WILL N"

"Nice. But no view
Cabin was nice. But had no view. We enjoyed our stay. But we were disappointed with the outside of the cabin. Looked nothin like the picture on the web site. Cabin needed to be bug sprayed. Several centipedes, over 20 crawling on the floors and one on the pillow. Ice maker didn’t work. Queen comforter was on a King size bed and the bed was not comfortable. Light was burned out in the shower and over the bathroom sink. "

"Beautiful Wall of Windows and Nature
We had an amazing trip. The house was in a great location. Close to everything but out of the busy strip. Wall of windows is beautiful. The hot tub and walk in shower (with great water pressure!) were bonuses. The house fit our family of 4 just right. While there was clearly nothing "wrong" with the house we did see a few areas that were beginning to look worn. The master could use some fresh bedding (it had holes) and some of the towels were stained. It would have been helpful to have a few updated kitchen pans as well. The two we mainly used were warped or food stuck to them (even with oil) and they really needed a good scrub. We did dishes each night which meant we had enough for the following day. If we hadn't we would have run out of dishes. A second set of dishtowels and scrubber brush would have been helpful too for our 6 night stay. The lower level carpet is snagging with some runs throughout. Those items aside, the house was very comfortable and nice to come back to each day. We would consider rebooking when we return to the area. Thank you for having us!!"

"Incredible Cabin and Experience!
Our experience at A Desire Fulfilled cabin was amazing. It was just my wife and I, but we very easily could’ve had 2-4 more people there without any problem at all. The pool table and foosball table were fun and we used them both nights of or stay. Same for the outdoor hot tub. You could tell it was nice a clean and had a privacy fence surrounding it. The 18ft rainfall shower was sooooo nice. We definitely need one of those in our next house lol. The cabin also had a small grill, full kitchen, and most anything you could need. Everything you should need is there! The cabin is about 20 minutes or so from Gatlinburg and Pigeon forge, which was perfect. We wish we could’ve stayed longer and will definitely be back soon!"

"A Desire Fulfilled
I was very impressed with the property management such as receiving texts about traffic, directions, check in, etc. The cabin was listed as sleeping 8; however, the sleeper sofa springs literally were protruding from the bed which made it uncomfortable leaving 2 guests sleeping on the living room floor. One of the rocking chairs outside was broken when we got there and didn't realize until we sat in it, and when covering up with a blanket which was folded in the closet my aunt noticed small black hairs. Otherwise our stay was enjoyed.

The cabin was nice. There were dead bugs on the windowsill. Coffee filters were not provided and there were no sponges. Both of these are inexpensive items that should be provided. Other than that the cabin was nice"
Apr 04, 2018 - Nell O., Indianapolis, IN
"Disappointed
We were very excited with our selection after looking at pictures online but after arriving to this cabin it was darker and more secluded than we thought. The worst part was finding termites in our daughter's bedroom at this cabin. Our first day there we saw some dead ones in the window and didn't think too much about it, however, the next day when we got back toward evening, the window was full of them again, even live ones and some were in the bed. We called to complain and they offered to spray, but we didn't want our daughter to sleep in there after they just sprayed and they would not refund our money. We asked for a manger to contact us and we have yet to hear from anyone. They did move us to another cabin which helped but it was very inconvenient trying to pack up and move all of our stuff at 10:30 at night. The cabin could have been cleaner too. The floors were sticky and the bedspreads looked very old and had holes in it."

"Unexpected Surprise
After having a scheduled vacation the week of the fires in 2016 and having to cancel the trip, we selected (thru a very easy process by Elk Springs) new dates for travel. Due to winter weather, we could not get to Gatlinburg for the first night of our rental. On our 6 hour drive we were contacted telling us our cabin was not accessible due to icy mountain road so they put us in a new one. It was a lovely nice cabin for a two night stay. It was well equipped and clean. The only draw backs were there was no restroom on the ground -entry floor and the second bedroom was queen bunk beds...they were pretty cool but not for my 75/80 year old parents who had planned to join us. * since this was a substitute, I'm sure Elk Springs would have found something suitable if we requested it. They were certainly customer service oriented. * need to replace wobbly bars in kitchen and put more gravel at entry as with the snow melt it was pretty muddy and we didn't want to track it in the lovely cabin!

The Cabin is great, the design is beautiful but the furniture is in very bad conditions, the coach in the lower level seems to be the coach from a mechanics body repair shop, dirty and old, also the mattress and pillows are expired. It deserves an update in furniture...
all other points as location and cleanness were good. "

We loved our first cabin. It was awesome. Perfect and the pictures did it justice. Our reservation was unfortunately mixed up...Always check your dates and we were switched to another cabin on the last night which was not nice at all. Not in the caliber of this one. The alarm would not stop going off, we had maintenance down twice. It really made a downer on our last night. Magic Moments is no where in the caliber of this one. I would avoid it at all costs."

"Great little cabin near Gatlinburg
Stayed at A Desire Fulfilled for 2 nights during the Winter Storm Helena. The cabin is a perfect size for our family of 4. We had stayed here for 2 nights the year previous and the kids were very keen to come back to the same cabin.
The cabin is open and spacious and has two working fireplaces, one on each floor which quickly heat up the cabin - although the downstairs is noticeably cooler than upstairs as you would expect.
The only criticism of the cabin i would have is that the carpet is starting to look quite shabby. We really noticed the difference from the year previous. It is looking quite discolored in places and is even threadbare in places in the master bedroom. We also wondered why there are no doormats, either at the front door or balcony. It means whenever we cam in from outside there is nowhere to wipe your feet and results in walking in snow, ice and mud every time - which i am sure does not help the state of the carpets.
We really like Elk Springs Resort and i am sure we will be back - but i think we will try and check out a different cabin next time."

This cabin was very nice and exactly what we were looking for... It was in a good location to the activities and attractions. The cabin was clean when we arrived except the beds were not made yet. Shortly after we arrived someone came and made them which was after 4pm..There was some wear and tear in the master bedroom with a tear in the carpet. We also had some unexpected guests every evening you could hear some kind of critters (maybe mice) in the ceiling above the master bedroom. The first two nights it kept us up which was annoying but night three we could sleep through it. There was no evidence that they were coming in the cabin so we were not panicked about it. I would recommend this cabin to friends.. We loved visiting the Forbidden Caverns, Exotic petting zoo, Ripleys Aquarium and Dollywood. You definitely have to eat at Davy Crocketts and Dixie Stampede."

Very nice cabin! Very beautiful inside! We loved the tower rain shower! Beautiful kitchen. Loved the tall ceilings and Windows. The majority of your time would be spent inside this cabin while there as there isn't much outside the cabin. There is a small private deck out back with a hot tub that we used. Not much of a view other than a few trees. The cabin is on a cul-de-sac with other cabins around but we barely realized they were there. It was quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed our stay. "

"Great time pretty good cabin
We love going to the smoky mountains. Found this cabin on groupon and enjoyed our stay very much. The cabin itself is nice and very well cared for. One thing I will mention is that once you arrive, the staff is hard to get in touch with. We got there and there wasn't any chalk for the pool table and no channel list for the TV. We also needed extra towels. when we finally reached someone, a man showed up with chalk only. Also, the floorboards creak something awful as well as the doors to go outside. So if you have an early riser with you and a child that you would like to sleep in so you can have morning coffee, forget about it at this cabin. Other that that, we had a perfect vacation spot. "

"A Desire Fullfilled-Not really
We got this cabin for a reasonable price from groupon. The cabin is two stories and for such a small space, it is laid out very well. Upon inspection, as I do anywhere that I stay, I pulled back the sheets on the master bed and found 3 hairs at the foot of the bed, on the fitted sheet. (I believe it was just an oversight from laundry.) I immediately pull the sheets to wash them and notice that the mattress cover had several hairs on it too. The rain tower shower was really cool, but it had 2 bulbs that didn't work and so it was really really dark. I finally decided to call Elk Springs and complain when I walked in the shower and found a Bobby pin laying on the floor of the shower! The kids went to try out the hot tub, and when we uncovered it, we noticed the it was dirty, but the filter had came off and was laying in the bottom of the hot tub. I called Elk Springs Resort and they sent 2 separate people out to take care of my issues. Along, with one follow up call to ensure the maintenance guy resolved my issue. So I'm not sure if it was just bad luck on my part, but I just wasn't overall satisfied. I'm not sure if I offended housekeeping, but when they came and were making the bed with the new sheet, they made the comment that the hair on the fitted sheet must have fell from the ceiling fan. Lol. The front desk was great to try and resolve my issues, so I would recommend them for customer service. But this particular cabin needs some attention. The trim and baseboards were very dusty. And the fake wood tree at the steps needs to be cleaned as well, it had clots of dust on it. I hate to give such a detailed and negative review, but I wished I had known the condition beforehand and I would have chose a different cabin with better up keep. "

Our trip to the Great Smoky Mountains could not have been more perfect! From the weather to the many different activities for both the kids and the adults, we never ran out of things to do! The best part of the vacation, by far, was the time we spent reconnecting as a family in our beautiful cabin! It was the perfect size for our family, was clean and tastefully decorated. We had everything we needed! The kitchen was stocked with dishes, serving pieces, and even plastic ware for storing leftovers. The hot tub was clean, private, and in a perfect location on the deck.

"Heaven in the Smokies
The property was even better than the pictures! It was beautiful and we had the option of being cozy or having our own space to relax. The cabin had a perfect privacy screen around the hot tub making us feel secluded and added to the romantic ambiance. The property was clean and while some areas could use an update (carpet in the master bedroom), overall, it was a beautiful property. During our stay it snowed almost a foot and the team at Elk Springs came by and shoveled the walkway, salted it and even shoveled around our vehicle. It was above and beyond our expectations of customer service. The check in was easy, we were able to go straight to the cabin and were texted our entry code. We would definitely recommend this property, and the resort to anyone looking for a place to stay in the Gatlinburg area.
Couple of area notes: make the the trip to Cades Cove. It is nearby and worth the trip. We went and the road was shut down to cars (this is more common until March), so we walked a bit of it and it was like being in another world. We stopped at The Ship the first night since it was near the cabin and we wanted to grab some appetizers and something to sip. It was a very cute bar and the food was really very good. We were so enchanted that we even bought a t-shirt to commemorate our visit. We also visited the Smokey Mountain Brewery and did some shopping, although some shops were closed due to the season. All in all I would say we had an amazing time and would recommend the trip to friends and family."

"No mountain view
First off DO NOT book this cabin if it's two families. You WILL be very crowded. Second, the tv' weren't working properly in one of the bedrooms. Third, the pictures are very misleading. It's like a cabin that was cut in half vertically. The pictures make it appear much larger. Last, when we called to complain the first day there a supervisor was supposed to get back with us and never did. Also, this may of been our misunderstanding but there is no mountain view u less you go tomthentop of the road. The only view in The back is woods. We were pretty disappointed. The other staff that did call was very kind and maintenance was there very quick. It is a beautiful cabin Will allot of luxuries for a couple or one family. It's just very misleading, photograph angels do wonders. "

We enjoyed our cabin and visit to Elks Springs. It was beautiful, secluded and nicely appointed. My only bit of advice for families with young children would be that bedrooms are located on bottom floor and you can literally hear every step above you when your kids awake before you and run upstairs, the rocking chair is especially torturous. It was all worth it, as we really had a lovely time and would come again- when our children are a bit older, that is. :)"

I cannot say enough about how wonderful our vacation was. The response to issues was prompt and the cabin had great amenities. I would reccomend this vacation location to anyone seeking a restful getaway."

"way beyond our expectations!
We were very impressed with the cabin and the staff at Elk Springs! It exceeded far beyond our expectations. It was clean and spacious. The location was 20 mins to Gatlinburg and 15 mins to pigeon forge. We can't wait to go back! It was a weekend of great memories!"

"Great Vacation
We had a great time at the cabin. We took our 17 year old child and she brought a friend. They loved the hot tub, foosball, and pool table. We enjoyed all of those and the large shower. One day we just stayed in the cabin to enjoy it and the local area. One of the best things about the cabin was its location to the town."

"Great Winter Weekend!
Our family of 6 spent a long weekend at A Desire Fulfilled and had a fantastic time. The cabin was great, just as we had hoped. It was somewhat secluded, but not too far from Downtown Gatlinburg. The whole family had a great time."

"Better than expected!
We were called early and allowed to check in. The check in process was simple and straightforward. We were pleased that the location was not downtown but close enough for a quick drive and very close to Smoky Mountain National Park. The cabin we stayed in was above and beyond our expectation. Everything was immaculate, clean, and well thought out. We LOVED the hot tub and the rain shower. WI-Fi worked well the entire time, although our phones did not get service downstairs in the cabin, only upstairs. That was fine with us as we wanted to go unplugged for a weekend! Kitchen was well stocked, bed were comfy, and everything was in tip top shape! Thanks for a wonderful weekend!"

"New Years in the Mountains
A Desire Fulfilled was a beautiful place to stay. It was just far enough away from the downtown and very peaceful. The staff was wonderful and easy to reach at any time. I would recommend Elk Springs properties!"

"chance to re-connect
cabin was great,getaway not so much! got back to cabin after Christmas parade,planned on romantic evening. Started with bath in jucuzzi ,only to find what appeared to be like dead skin floating in water. that killed the plan then carbon monoxide alarm kept beeping after downstairs fireplace went off and called Sevier County Utility district at almost 4am and they said to open all doors and they were sending someone out. Kevin got there about 5am checked everything out and it was fine,just the batteries needed replacement,which he did.He said I was correct in calling because you cant take a chance with a carbon monoxide alarm and just assume it is bad batteries! Needless to sat my husband was then very upset and wanted to leave immediately! I said no it was paid for and we were staying.We finally got to sleep around 630am slept until 1pm,husband still pissed went to eat dinner at a lousy restaurant in Pigeon Forge came back packed he went back to bed alone I stayed watched movies rest of the time until 5am Sunday morning packed and was out by 6am.Needless to say we didn't connect,haha!"

"disspointing check in
I arrived to the resort at 12:15 AM following a road closed because of the snow - and a consequent detour that made my trip longer by an hour at least. I informed the front desk in the morning that we will arrive at night and was given my code. upon arrival, the code did not work. i have called front desk there was no answer. called sales - Dan said I should call front desk - there was no answer. and the massages I left were not replied. Dan called and tried to give me a diferent code - which did not work either, he tried to reach front desk. over-all it was 30 minutes that we waited outside the cabin, me being pregnant and needed to use the restroom after the long drive - which was not available to me, 2 kids uncomfortably asleep in the car. 30 min later I received a call with an entirely new code saying that although my frustration is understood the focus is for me to get in. I did not receive a call afterwards only a massage in the morning saying they heard my massage and wanted to make sure I got in. this was not at all what I expected from this high value cabin - truly dissapointing exwerience. I would not recommend it."

"A desire fulfilled
My desire was fulfulled when I rented the cabin for a quiet relaxing vacation. I wanted to get back to nature, view the beautiful fall leaves and enjoy the outdoors. I was happy with my decision to rent this cabin and recommend it to others."

"Awesome Trip
We were delighted with our cabin and the cleanliness of it. It was very clean and the hot tub was awesome. We could not have asked for anything better except a few more days. The property management company was very helpful and efficient in our booking and arrival. We would definitely stay here again."

"Nice place, but the location did not work for us
The cabin was very clean and the management company and staff are excellent and very friendly. Our air conditioning went out and it was repaired within hours. The location was not right for us because we planned on hiking everyday and we felt we spent too much time driving back and forth so it is not very convenient if you want to take a break back at the cabin in the middle of the day. It's about a 40 minute round trip from the cabin to the main entrance of the park. The cabin is very private and if you are interested in the arts and crafts area this location is perfect for you. The seating is not very good for more than two people and only one person can stretch out and I would have preferred a larger master bedroom with more natural light because the bedroom is dark. The shower is great and the kitchen is beautiful and nicely appointed. The gravel road directly to the cabin was a PITA but thankfully a good part of the road is paved. I would have rated this property spotless and the carpeted areas may be clean but they are a bit worn and stained but overall it is a nice property and we really enjoyed our stay"
