Bear Creek Cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, the cabin was good! We had 4 adults, and it did seem a bit small for all of us. It was very clean and welcoming. We were there for 7 nights and there were not enough extras such as paper towels, toliet paper, dish soap and dishwasher soap. The hot tub was great. The location was nice being close to town,however it was close to the road and at times was a bit noisy.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bear Creek cabin. We wanted quiet time to recharge with the option to access a few activities or restaurants. That is exactly what this cabin offered. Quiet, off the beaten path, yet still only a few minutes drive to whatever we wanted. It is small, but not cramped and also well-equipped for cooking and hot tub relaxing. Bonus: We saw a black bear!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was clean and the location was great. We had to contact management about how to lock the door with the keypad and their reply was in a timely manner. The only issue was at night some animal or animals would go under the house and crawl up in the wall between the bottom bathroom and bedroom where the plumbing runs to upstairs

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This cabin is only 5 minutes away from downtown Gatlinburg. Yet the privacy is awesome, we enjoyed the hot tub and the inside jacuzzi the layout of the cabin was cozy and beautiful. The driveway is on flat ground and they're virtually no steps to get into the cabin.You can hear the mountain stream from anywhere on the property. We really enjoyed the wood burning fireplace. We grilled hamburgers next to the mountain stream one evening, it don't get better than that! Will be back!!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This cabin was absolutely amazing! I have been wanting to stay on ski mountain for a long time but didn't want to deal with crazy driveways. This was an easy drive up and flat parking. The cabin itself had a very rustic feel with all the modern amenities. The hot tub was amazing! We were visited by a bear for the first four nights of our trip until the snow hit. I named him Oliver after our big cat that looks like a black bear. Elk springs Resort was a great to work with and checked on us frequently via text. And they were not automated texts. Great experience! Will definitely stay again!

Nice little cabin close to town

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Bear Creek is very close to town so it's easy to get to all of the attractions in Gatlinburg. We enjoyed the hot tub each day and the indoor jacuzzi tub was great too! The cabin itself was well maintained and clean. The bathrooms are small but nice. The kitchen was adequately stocked with cookware. We would have enjoyed a better grill to use. This one is only a picnic style grill. The parking is shared with the neighbor cabin but it is separate and private from them. The creek was very nice to listen to but it is next to a fairly busy road so there is car noise. Overall we had a great stay and loved being able to escape the hustle and bustle downtown but still be close to attractions and restaurants.

Disappointed, but love the National Park

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin was disappointing to be honest. The images and description didn’t give a good image of what we found. The cabin is directly on a major uphill road with considerable traffic. When sitting on the porch cars and truck are loudly traveling by blocking the sound of the stream. The picture doesn’t show that the road is about 15 feet from the stream. The outside areas had not been cleaned and little to no comfortable restful space was found.Upon entering the cabin we were hit with an extremely strong mold or urine smell. All we could figure was that the couches needed to be replaced. We struggled to sit on them to watch the news. Once we did our clothes carried the sent and needed to be washed unless we wanted to carry the smell with us.The upstairs bed was awesome. By keeping the windows open we were able to minimize the smell from downstairs, even though it was always present.It didn’t seem that the cabin had been cleaned by a quality crew. Cob webs, filthy windows and drapes were throughout.Now for some positive. Booking was extremely easy, Elk Springs resorts were prompt in contact to us, great support, and very friendly. If I was them I would consider removing this cabin from their rental program until these issues could be resolved. As renters of more than 10 different cabins in the mountains this was the only one that was such a disappointment.

Caviar Price, But 2 Star Motel Quality

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 1st the pros - hot tub was awesome, as were the exterior chairs on the porch. Sleeping areas had kingsize bed and the mattresses were incredible. Sufficient towels were provided to allow for hot tub use and showers. Parking was good and allowed for 2 vehicles. Location allows up to 4 maybe 5 vehicles, but the parking is shared with another cabin. Kitchen is serviceable and the refrigerator is a good size. Staff provided plenty of replacement garbage bags which was nice. The best perk was they allowed dogs and only charged $50. The front of the cabin exterior was clean and maintained.Cons - the drive up Ski Mntn Rd was very treacherous, be prepared. The description and pictures were misleading. We assumed there was more property to allow our dog to play and that was not the case. The cabin is literally 40 ft from Ski Mntn Rd, with only the creek between you and the road. Furniture was rearranged for pictures to give the impression of a larger living space, but it was very crowded. Lower level bedroom is very tight and had no closet. They may argue an armoire was in the room, but with a king size bed the armoire could not be opened,the bedroom was very dark and did not have an overhead light. In addition, there was only one night stand and you had to crawl over the bed due to storing your luggage on the floor next, and we only had 2 small roller bags! Bathrooms are tight; there is no room to place beauty products and the showers need overhead lights - it was very dark once the shower curtain was closed. Loft bedroom had more space to maneuver, but come-on a night stand on each side of the bed should be a given. Bring your own pillows unless you are a fan of feather pillows. The back of the cabin exterior needs to be cleanup up (old cut stumps, hoses, etc, and it literally against a hill, so there are no views, except for of the houses up the hill. Not a tranquil setting with the traffic on Ski Mntn Rd and the price was over the top for motel quality ameniti

The only things I would change would be have more cleaning supplies (dishwasher pods and paper towels). I would also recommend gates on the deck to make sure the bears don’t join you for coffee on the deck in the mornings.
