Fort Mill, SC"Top Notch Cabin for an Unforgettable Wedding!"
We rented Southern Philosophy, Misty Mountain Lodge and Summit Sanctuary for our wedding ceremony and reception. All of our guests said it was the most beautiful wedding that they ever attended! T…he staff was very accommodating and helpful, offering their assistance with any last minute needs! We could not have asked for a better location! The property was perfect for a 40 x 20' tent and our 85 guests! Southern Philosophy was used as a central point for our reception as it has a large cathedral ceiling living room which was the perfect size! We rented the three cabins for our famiies and close friends to stay for the weekend, which was close to 40 people! . Everyone had a wonderful time during their stay, not only enjoying the ceremony but all the offerings of the cabins! From pool tables and theater rooms to saunas and hot tubs, Elk Springs Resort is top notch! No comparison to other rentals in the area! If you're looking for a fun, relaxing weekend away, or an excellent spot for a moderate sized wedding, you've found it! Thanks to all of the staff for making our special day better than imagined!+ Read More -

Smyrna, TN"Great location. "
We spent a few days here and enjoyed every minute of it. The location was right in the middle between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Great location for when traffic gets busy during the seasons & you ca…n take the backroads to the cabin and miss all the traffic. Once there, the kids & adults enjoyed the basement level with pool, air hockey, hot tub, sauna, & theatre room. There were nice flat screen tvs in every room. The management staff checked on us throughout our stay and were very nice. The cabin was clean for the most part. I think the comforters need an updating; especially in the master. The cabin had no skillet/frying pan, but we brought our griddle from home so no problem. I'm sure if we had told the management company they would have taken care it. Both family's can't wait to stay again. We were very pleased with Southern Philosophy & Elk Mountain.+ Read More -

We had a wonderful time at Southern Philosophy. The layout of the rooms is perfect. We had our eldery parents stay in the master on the main level. They had their own bathroom. we loved the sectio…nal seating in the living room. We were able to congregate in the living room comfortably. We also made use out of the theater room. Loved it!! Check in and check out were easy. Response was prompt. Dishwasher needed some maintenance.+ Read More -

Our family of seven had a GREAT time in "our" cabin, Southern Hospitality.+ Read More
Our children's ages are 12, 10 , 8 and twin 6 year olds and without exception they absolutely loved the cabin. We took a…dvantage nightly of the Theater room and its' 9' screen. The pool table and hot tub were also favorites. For Mom and Dad, the best experience was having all of the bedrooms so there was no need to fight about who slept where.
Overall, we had a wonderful experience and continue to talk about "our" cabin. We fell in love with this cabin and will most definitely come back. -

We absolutely loved everything about our stay at Elk Springs Resort. The cabin and scenery were gorgeous. Our reservation was for 10 people, but despite this, there was ample room for everyone to mo…ve about and engage in a variety of activities in and outside the cabin. The cabin had everything that we needed amenity wise. Entertainment for both adults and children alike. It is conveniently located to shopping, restaurants, and the downtown area. Perfect Thanksgiving getaway for my family. We will definitely be coming back.+ Read More -

Hayti, MO"Negative feed back."
The only negative things that our family had was the TV's needed be more updated and we would have liked to have satellite tv. The cabin was very comfortable but the temperature was hard to regulate. …We would rate it a 95% out of 100%. We would rent again if we come back to Gatlinburg. Thank You!+ Read More -

Spring, TX"Great House for a Family Vacation"
We stayed for 6 great nights at this house. The house was spacious enough for all 8 of us to sleep comfortably and have our time away from family as well. Kids loved the downstairs gaming and theater area. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. -

Wesley Chapel, FL"Excellent cabin and location"
We were extremely happy with this rental company. We have been visiting the area for many years. This year, we found ourselves in need of a more professional rental company that offered cleaner cabi…ns in better working condition. Elk Sprints Resort exceeded our expectations. The customer service is excellent and they are very professional and friendly. The cabin property was very clean and the check-in/check-out procedure is much more efficient and customer friendly than some of the other companies. The location of the resort is great and this cabin had spectacular views at all times of the day and evening. We generally prefer to be closer to the national park side (Ski Mtn area); however, we found the location of this rental to be only minutes from the main strip and by using the back road of the strip we could still enter the park with only a few extra minutes. We are already planning our next trip and will be using Elk Springs again.+ Read More -

Vero Beach, FL"Southern Philosophy is a beautiful cabin"
We just returned from a weeks stay at Elk Springs Southern Philosophy. There were nine of us and the cabin had plenty of room for us all to have privacy, but, felt cozy and inviting. There were two …teen age boys in the group and they thoroughly enjoyed having their own space downstairs with all the amenities it has to offer.+ Read More
The cabin is well furnished, kitchen has all the basics, & beds were very comfy. Only negative there is that one bed is a queen size upstairs in one bedroom, and the pull out sleeper sofa was uncomfortable, but they usually are.
Overall, the cabin was clean and well kept. We would recommend it for the beauty of the cabin, the surrounding area and the amenities this cabin offers.
Thank you Dan for your help in deciding which cabin would be best for us & the suggestions for things to do during our stay. Everyone is very professional, & took care of any issues we had in a very timely manner.
Thank you for a beautiful week in Southern Philosophy. -

Kenner, LA"Awesome Cabin in the Woods"
The cabin was all I wanted and needed and more. It was beautifully decorated with all the bells and whistles. My family was very impressed with the cabin. It was extremely spacious. The pool table and… air hockey table was the best part. We did have 1 issue with the cable, but after 1 call to the office it was fixed within 30 minutes. I will book again when I visit the area. We enjoyed everything about this unit.+ Read More -

Natural Bridge, VA"great for families with older kids!"
We discovered these cabins a few years ago and have always had a great experience. They are beautiful, clean, spacious and everything new and in working order. We have teenagers and adult children and… all are entertained. There is a gym down the street and it's only minutes from downtown Gatlinburg. It's roomy enough to share with another family. Game room had it's own fridge and sink.+ Read More -

Smyrna, TN"Southern Philosophy . . . A Nice Choice"
This is a very nice lodge for a small group of people. A couple of small housecleaning and maintenance items needed improving which we left a note about:+ Read More
? Lots of dust bunnies under the mast…er bed on the main level.
? An extra blanket on the master bed would have been nice.
? Some back porch lights were not working.
? Rickety floor lamp in the dining room needed fixing or replacing.
Overall, however, the house was very clean and amply stocked with dishes, towels and linens. We enjoyed the gas grill which worked very well. The location was convenient to local amenities. The view was good but not spectacular. We are spoiled a little, I guess, after previous stays elsewhere on the side of a slope with an up-close view of Mt. Leconte. With a spectacular view being one of our top priorities, we probably would not stay at Southern Philosophy again, but for anyone who is content with a good view and a quiet place, even though there are other cabins nearby, we would recommend this as a nice choice.
