    "Great Cabin Home for Family"

    We had a great time staying in this home! There was tons of things to keep the older kids and adults busy, beautiful location and property seems well kept. If I had to say anything to improve, I would… suggest keeping some necessities for smaller children like a high hair or playpen tucked away for families to pull out if they needed.

    "Relaxing Vacay! "

    We had a wonderful time staying at Southern Philosophy. The cabin was everything we’d hoped it would be. We loved the fact that the cabin had three floors/stories as each family had their own …living space. We spent most of our stay downstairs in the game room playing pool, watching movies, sitting in the hot tub etc... The staff was very friendly and helpful; they called us to make sure that we were enjoying our stay and asked us if there was anything else we required. Overall, this cabin was perfect for us and accommodated 6 adults and 2 kids comfortably! We will definitely be back!

    "Mountain Bliss"

    This was our third time visiting Gatlinburg and our second time staying in Elk Springs resort. Because of the uncertainty of the pandemic and the large group we ended up traveling with it was not easy… finding a cabin at the last minute. But Elk Springs Resort did not disappoint. The cabin was fleas, well stocked with items we needed, and there was plenty of room for everyone. The downstairs area was perfect for our group of five loud teenagers. They were able to have fun without bothering the adults upstairs. The resort was on top of any requests such as removing trash or even things as minor as replacing a missing hockey puck from the air hockey table. The kids loved having game night in the gazebo and the whole family enjoyed our private grassy area where we were able to play badminton. The best part was soaking in the hot tub while the fireflies lit up the evening.
    In the previous reviews there were some comments about parking. But I must say the there was more than enough. We came in two large trucks plus an SUV with a trailer pulling three motorcycles. All these were packed in front of our cabin and still there was room to spare.
    We will always recommend Elk Springs Resort as they have not let us down yet.
    Thank you for an amazing stay and a much needed rest.

    Wonderful home with plenty of room and beds for kids! Loaded with extras like bunk beds, two masters, pool table, air hockey, hot tub, theater room and sauna.

    "We had FUN!"

    Words cannot describe the beauty of this property. It is like a movie. The location of this property is perfect. It is just far enough away but at the same time just close enough for nightlife. My fri…ends and I enjoyed every minute of our time here. So, the property is pristine! On our second day of our stay the manger called to make sure that we needed anything. It was clean, decorated beautifully and spacious. All the bedrooms where spacious and no one felt as though they were being cheated out of space. The air hockey table and movie theater were a hit! The large spacious living area connected to the dining room that held the beautiful farm style dining table and a wall of floor to ceiling windows and doors allowed us to enjoy each other without having to be in the same room. The rocking chairs on the deck allowed us to enjoy the serenity of the sun setting. It was so beautiful we decided to go out to dinner only one night out of our stay. With a fully equipped kitchen and gas grill, we said why not go to the grocery store that is within 7 miles of the property and enjoy the space around us was our reasoning! We all began talking about bring different groups of family members for vacation or even celebrating holidays! It is just that beautiful. During the day we took the short ride, about 15 minutes, to pottery class one day then the Titanic museum another. Downtown Gatlinburg was great for people watching and eating ice cream. There are numerous restaurants and activities. We didn’t want to leave.

    "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!

    "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.

    "Southern Philosophy"

    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.

    "Southern Hospitality = an unforgettable family vacation"

    Our family of seven had a GREAT time in "our" cabin, Southern Hospitality.
    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.
