  "Loved every minute!"

  This is the third time we have stayed in the cabins at Elk Springs resort and will continue to go back! We have stayed in Notty & Nice (amazing!), Cherokee Charm (simply wonderful), and Basswood Lodg…e (perfect for our family of five + grandparents). The cabins are lovely, the views are breathtaking, the service is the best and we just love our vacations there! Can’t wait to return!

  "Wish we could stay forever!"

  After 26 years of visiting Gatlinburg,this was our first stay in a cabin and we?ll never stay anywhere else again! The pictures of Basswood don?t do it justice, our expectations were high based on wh…at we saw online but they were exceeded as soon as we set foot inside the cabin. The location was also perfect as it was an easy trip to town and secluded enough but we didn?t feel isolated as there were other cabins nearby and we never knew people were in them other than the cars parked. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Basswood Lodge and wish we could stay there forever!!

  This weekend was amazing, the cabin was better than I thought. I finally found a cabin that had an actual working theater room. The process to book a cabin was easy and on check in day Elk springs res…ort actually text me way before my 3 pm check in to tell me my cabin was ready.

  "Great for two small families!"

  We had two families of 4 with children under 5 for a week. The cabin was convenient to arts/craft shops and grocery/restaurants. The theater room was AWESOME! Beds were very comfy, stairs padded and c…arpeted which made them safer for little feet running up and down. We had almost every kitchen appliance/cookware we needed and plenty of linens to go around.

  "July Family Vacation"

  Basswood Lodge was everything we expected and then some. The cabin was very clean, with a great kitchen. The kids loved the pool table and movie theatre. Eating dinner on the porches and having an …evening drink or morning coffee on the third floor deck off the one master suite made you feel like you were sitting in a tree house. The day we checked in we received a phone call making sure everything was as we expected, and if we needed anything.

  "Basswood Lodge"

  Our stay at Basswood Lodge was very enjoyable and relaxing. The furnishings and decor were very pleasing and comfortable and the kitchen well stocked with appliances, dishes, etc. This was our 5th tri…p to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge and my husband had asked for me to reserve our next stay at Basswood Lodge! The property at Elk Springs is manicurely maintained and very clean which made for an enjoyable drive through. It's just a few minutes' drive to the 'craft' community and Gatlinburg. We rafted the Upper Pigeon River, as we do each trip, through Nantahala Outdoor Center, and had an awesome guide, Sam!

  "2-day Christmas stay"

  This was the first year our family decided to have a Christmas away from home. We were concerned about many things (travel, access to our cabin because of weather, etc) but our stay at Basswood Lodge …was a fitting Christmas present for all of us. We especially enjoyed the theater room, the hot tub, and the 3 suites each being on a different level. The cabin was roomy, clean and comfortable. Thank you to Elk Springs Resort for a great Christmas!

  "Wonderful Experience"

  We booked the cabin prior to the devastating fire in the Gatlinburg area. We were concerned about visiting the area so quickly after the tragic event. The rental staff kept in contact with us and as…sured us that the cabin in surrounding area would be enjoyable. The entire experience from booking through checking out was a breeze. A+++ customer service. The cabin was fantastic and I am sure we will be back again.

We do offer several luxury cabins to choose from in Gatlinburg, Sevierville and Pigeon Forge. You might even consider a cabin with your very own private swimming pool inside!

  The cabin (Basswood) was beautiful and well appointed with all of the amenities we could ask for. There was plenty of room for everyone. My son loved the hot tub and enjoyed movies in the theater roo…m. The check in and check out process was seamless. This is the second time I have stayed with Elk Springs and they never disappoint. They have been a dream to work with always willing to make certain your stay is a great one. Thanks again for an awesome vacation.

  "Great Cabin - Convenient Location"

  We really enjoyed our 3-day escape to the Basswood Lodge. Elk Springs has done an overall excellent job in building and outfitting the cabins. The BL's all wood construction inside and out makes for …a truly outstanding "woodsy" accommodation but with all the modern conveniences. The only minor glitch was the lack of a cable hookup to the home theater! We had to watch the football games on other smaller televisions throughout the cabin - bummer.

  + Read More

  Manager Response:

  Roger, we appreciate your business and thank you for your kind review. We do apologize that you weren't able to watch tv on the home theater screen. We have had problems in the past where our electronic equipment was damaged and our cables were plugged in the wrong way resulting in big headaches for our maintenance staff. For these reasons, we have simplified our theater systems by only having them hooked up to DVD's for you to enjoy watching movies on. The local Food City grocery store offers a red box rental system for you to rent movies from and it is just 5 minutes from the resort! We hope you will consider a future stay with us. Our repeat guests receive a 10% discount off future stays.

  "AWESOME Birthday Weekend"

  I rented Basswood Lodge for my son's 17th birthday party and took 8 of his friends with us. The guy's had a great time in the theater room (perfect for gaming) and having them downstairs meant I coul…d cook and clean up without having them underfoot. It also meant I could sleep soundly without hearing them! Everything was as it should be with plenty of towels, nice hot tub and sauna, gas grill was incredible. The ONLY thing was the hand held can opener didn't work and that was a very minor issue. We loved it and would highly recommend!

  Manager Response:

  Thank you Susan! That was quite a birthday party for your son and we are pleased that everyone had a great time! We are sorry about the can opener. For future reference, we do keep supplies, utensils and small appliances in stock and would have brought you a brand new can opener right away. We look forward to your return visit making more memories with your son in the Great Smoky Mountains!

  Cabin was extremely well maintained and check-in was a breeze. A phone call with the door lock code and we just showed up and went in. The only call for maintenance was when the projector in the theat…er room said it was time to change the bulb and this was done within the hour. Cannot wait to go back for another vacation. The kids really loved the foosball table.

  Fantastic time at Elk Springs Resort. Stayed at Basswood Lodge Cabin which was near the top of the property. Excellent cabin, very clean and comfortable. Had 2 minor maintenance issues that were re…solved immediately by their amazing staff. Issues were a burned out light bulb and cable TV that did not work in 1 bedroom, but again, they resolved it immediately. Property is great and very convenient to everything in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Large grocery store nearby. Cabin was comfortable and exactly as described. Wish we could have stayed longer!

  "Family Thanksgiving "

  Wonderful cabin with great amenities and lots of charm! Theater room was perfect for watching movies but we couldn't watch regular tv on it. (We would have loved to watch both the Buckeyes game and t…he Alabama game on the big screen. However, the regular big flat screen was a good substitute.). The pilot light on the fireplace was out on thanksgiving morning and a very nice man was there to relight it within minutes! We had very nice cookware, dinnerware and kitchen appliances for fixing a big Thanksgiving dinner in a spacious kitchen! The dining room table was large enough to accommodate us comfortably. We would recommend this cabin and this resort to everybody!! We loved it!

  Thank you so much for this wonderful vacation location. We spent time white water rafting, ziplining and hiking in the mountains. We enjoyed every part of it. We truly enjoyed knowing we were comin…g back to our place the Basswood Lodge. We felt comfortable, watched movies, took a sauna and had wonderful dinners together. I would highly recommend Basswood Lodge. It is a wonderful upscale experience in Gaitlinburg. The location was perfect for us to get around quickly. Although our view was amazing in the trees and amongst other cabins there is no real clear view of the mountains. That would not stop us from coming back.
  
  Thanks again,
