"Tennesee vacation"
Absolutely loved our vacation in your cabins!
The one think I would suggest is a map of all your cabins at Elk Springs. We had 4 cabins with our family there and it was a little confusing at first. Also if we could have access somewhere to a swimming pool would have helped so much with the little ones. But overall yes very nice cabins.

"Unforgettable experience"
The cabin was so beautiful we felt like we had no need to leave the cabin, it has so much to do, the jacuzzi, pool table, the theater and BBq were so much fun! The location was perfect and convenient! And the view was breath taken, I totally recommend it, everyone needs to experience the beauty of this resort !

"4 Girls with Papa and Nana"
We came with our 4 granddaughters ages 11-4 and they had the time of their lives at the cabin. We would go to Gatlinburg to do some fun things but the next thing out of their mouths was "Can we go back to the cabin now?"
I was very pleased with everything and so glad the girls had that much fun.

"relaxing vacation in the smokey mountains!"
everything was wonderful. my only complaint was that the Jacuzzi tub in the downstairs master was broken, the toaster needed to be replaced and the grill needed to be cleaned. other than that it was perfect! we will definitely be going back as a family in a few years!!! there was tons of stuff for my husband and I to do! it was very close to gatlinburg and the trolley ride. we had smokey mountain massage come to give us couples massages and they were amazing and reasonably priced! the dixie stampede was awesome, and so was dollywood. next time we will rent a five bedroom cabin for my parents, aunt and uncle, sister family, my brother's family, and my family to have a nice vacation together.

"Christmas 2012"
The canBin was nice but the kitchen was not well stocked with kitchen supplies. The master bath upstairs shower door was mildewed and we found a but crawling on the bed. The name 'The View' is misleading. The term should refer to a view of the mountains not the landscape of trees behind the cabin. The gas grill also took a while to heat/turn on which delayed cooking.

"Nice house view ok and not sure if sheets were washed"
House was nice and had all needed to cook. View is not that great, a bunch of trees not much mountain. Houses next door in close proximity. One if the comforter was dirty, folded not washed. Asked if they cleaned them before each visitor and they responded yes. Washed the sheets myself and the stain the sheet had came off, obviously, they were not washed which gross.movie theater was a hit as were the pool table and hockey table. Location is great close to gatlinburg downtown.

"Everyone had a great time"
Everything was just as described; modern, clean and in good working order. Maintenance took care of the two small concerns right away (pilot light out in fireplace and DVD player not working). Loved the hot-tub, the deck, the beds, the pool table and air hockey. Our group consisted of three couples and a single, which was about the right-size for this cabin. One bedroom has an oversized bunk bed that could sleep four if those people doesn't mind sharing. The other two bedrooms have king(?) sized beds. We didn't check to see if living room couches were sleeper sofas. I hope we get to come back soon.

"A short escape to The View"
Two families (6 people) enjoyed a 4 night stay at The View. We loved the cabin layout and enjoyed the many amenities, ESP the back deck, hot tub, and the theatre room. Just a few complaints. The cabin was said to hold 10 people, but they didn't provide enough toilet paper or dishsoap for even 6. Also, we were told we could get an Xbox 360 in our cabin, but got a wii instead. For the price we paid for this short stay at your cabin, you could have bought another Xbox much less enough toilet paper for 4 nights.

"Perfect Vacation"
The cabin was great; it had such a warm and cozy atmosphere, loved all the beautiful wood and glass, enjoyed the deck, cooked out several nights and really enjoyed spending time in the cabin. Kitchen was very well stocked, from wine glasses to plenty of cookware & baking dishes, something for everyone in family, pool table, air hockey, tv's, you name it. We thought we had a problem with air hockey table & called the office, someone was out immediately, issue was we didn't know there was a switch that also needed to be turned on (cockpit trouble). We would certainly recommend the cabin and hope to return.

"A little disappointed"
I thought the cabin was ok considering I have stayed in one better. It was a bit pricey. I was a little disappointed in the website misleading pictures of the view. The pictures needs to be updated in that area. It was not a true mountain view with the abundance of trees which has blocked the mountain view since the cabin was built. The sunlight could barely get through the trees to shine in the cabin. I also thought that the televisions in each room could be updated as well. The theater room projector quality was bad and seemed to be outdated. Other than that, it was secluded and very good place to get peaceful rest.

"Great location!"
Love the location! Close to town but tucked up on a mountain so you can stay away from it if you like. Restaurants & shopping nearby so you can skip the traffic downtown. It was easy to just stay in the cabin(or in a rocking chair on the porch)& relax. My kids(5 & 7)were entertained with the hot tub, movie room, & game tables- they probably enjoyed the cabin more than the hikes or aquarium:)

The Fontana, where we were when we arrived was very clean just didnt have everything we were promised. The View, took forever to get checked in, the cabin was not totally clean. dirty cleaning rags left in cabin, upstairs bathroom dirty, heart shaped tub dirty, fireplace didnt work until our last night, hot tub had broken piece left outside of it on rails, could have been a perfect cabin and vacation if everything had been clean and as promised!

"almost satisfied!"
I was dissatisfied at the check in process; not only could I not get an earlier than 3:00 check in but no one called me with my check in code after several calls to an answer machine someone finally called me at 3:45 with the check in code. Me and my family traveled from Georgia and was very tired needed to get in the cabin to relax. I was annoyed that our check in was delayed without a phone call; or an appology when I did get a phone call; there were other issues the cabin was dusty; the refridegerator stared leaking the day of check out as if it was off? the up side is the area and the cabin is beautiful.
Response from the manager, Elk Springs Resort - 04/16/2012
Hi Donna, Our check in is at 3pm and during the very busy season we can't confirm early check ins. The guest staying prior to you did cause a delay and we do apologize for this as it is very rare that this happens. We did note that we left 2 messages on your cell phone with the door code. Again, we do apologize for the inconvenience and we are happy to remedy maintenance and housekeeping issues during your stay. Just give us a call as we have staff on site to attend to you.

"Fantastic Family Resort"
Overall, we loved the rental property the view. The house was in a great secluded location, and very spacious throughout. It was conveniently located to central Gatlinburg, grocery stores and a variety of restaraunts. The kids loved the hot tub and theatre, relaxing down time after a day hiking. We also saw a turtle on the property and a lot of other wildlife. We would definately return. Property management was excellent and responded promptly to any of our concerns.
Our only complaint would be the cleanliness of the house upon arrival. It just seemed to need a good thorough cleaning. Comforters washed, dusting, and underneath couches vacuumed. (We found legos and other items left from previous families, and a little put off by a big water marking on the sofa of unknown origin. Just minor.) However, we did enjoy the soap, toilet paper, dish soap and towels being available upon our arrival, that was a nice complement to the home, and made you feel welcome and inconvenienced upon arrival. Overall it is an absolutely beautiful home, and we would definately return to rent the view again. Definately five star home.
Response from the manager, Elk Springs Resort - 04/08/2012

"Great stay!!"
We had a great time on our girls weekend! The cabin was perfect for the 5 of us to hang out in. The kitchen was perfect with many dishes, pots and pans etc. most cabins we stay in has just a mish mosh of things, but everything in this cabin was very nice. The entire cabin was clean, the location was great. I would suggest a few more lights alongside the drive up the mtn. Otherwise it was a perfect stay and we will be planning a say annually!!!

"A good ole time!"
We have stayed at other cabins before in the area and so far Elk Springs has been the easist to deal with and the cleanest. I was hoping for a better view but it was still nice. The movie room was great and was enjoyed by all. They provided plenty of towels, handsoap, and dishwashing detergent which was nice bc other places I've stayed have not done that. The furnishings were up-to-date with flat screens in every room. The gas fireplace heated the upstairs really fast so be aware of that. the upstairs was 85 degrees when we got there. I had one issue with the sheets, I couldnt tell if they had been washed or not bc I found some hair and they didnt smell clean and were wrinkled so I washed them myself just to be sure. A great cabin and would stay again anytime.

"Special time at The View"
This was our first time visiting Gatlinburg and it proved to be a nice mix of "vacation town" and the "outback". We loved the house, espcially the location, being close, but not too close to town. We all loved it and look forward to returning sometime soon.

"Great cabin in the Mountains!"
Although the property was a little further away from everything than i had anticipated, it was a great value and was very nice. The cabin was extremely clean, and most items were in working order. The theater room was a great asset, although 2 of the chairs were broken. (Not an issue for us, but didn't want to be held responsible for it!) The person who took our reservation was great-Marcie i think? We had to ask for more towels and the pilot light was out on the fireplace but all issues were addressed immediately. Overall a great experience we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We spent 4 nights at The View. It was very nice I have already recommended this to family members and the next time we go to Gatlinburg, we hope to rent The View again. It was very nice, clean and easy to get to. I read the reviews before we rented this place and I am one who researches several places before I book a place. So trust me this place is WORTH it.

"Great stay"
Excellent cabin. It does have a view although not a spectacular one. This cabin is at the end of a dirt cul de sac with a cabin on either side. One cabin can be seen from the back deck, so not completely private, although most are not. Nice home theater with 6 recliners. Not the best picture quality. I am nit picking because overall it is a great cabin. Nice decor, clean, well stocked kitchen, TVs in every bedroom. Good set up with living room, kitchen, dining table, pool table and air hockey all centrally located. I would stay here again.

"Incredible experience for three generations!"
What an icredible experience for our entire family! We had three generations in The View and the layout could not have been better. We loved everything about the cabin. The pool table, airhocky, grill, view, rockers , porch, movie room. The staff we talked with when booking the room could not have been nicer or more accomodating. The cabin was very clean overall. Our one complaint is that the upstairs master tub was full of dust/dirt and the shower in that same room was very moldy around the bottom caulking. However, the View is a cabin we will definately come back to again and again! Our family highly recommends it!!!

"Serenity at The View"
How could one not enjoy a vacation in the
Smoky Mountains in such a beautiful and spacious cabin with such comfortable beds and close to Gatlinlburg's offerings yet surrounded by nature in peace and quiet? We enjoyed our stay here immensely. Very clean, easily accessed, and even a pool table and home theatre (though the projection screen lacks clarity). Only truly minus side for us was lack of comfy deck seating and a table of some kind on the deck. (Those rockers were very uncomfortable and confining in feel after 10 minutes.) We spent most of our cabin time on the deck with the terrific weather, but the seating there was not satisfactory, and there was no table on which to eat the food we'd grilled or even a small table to put a beverage. Also, the view wasn't quite as good as we'd hoped for; one just saw the tip of Leconte - and mostly trees. As cabins go - a winner, but needed more comfy amenities - and the kitchen is sparsely supplied but adequate.

Our 3rd year at this cabin. Overall a great time, but would like to see a few changes. 1- our gas grill was in very poor condition & needed serious repairs. 2- more usable cookware, we cook a lot. 3-the gutters at our and surrounding cabins need serious
maintenance. Being able to extend our checkout was a big plus. thank you. see you next year.

"A View To Remember"
We decided upon our trip to Gatlinburg as a last minute getaway to celebrate our anniversary. I found "The View" online and it seemed to fit our general needs/wants. Little did we know just how breathtaking and beautiful it was. It had a beautiful view of Mt Leconte, tucked away from the crazyness and traffic of Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg traffic, but convenient to everything. I would recommend this cabin and Elk Springs Resort to any family or friends. My girlfriend and I cannot wait to return with the rest of our family as it was a little large for just the two of us but will accommodate the kids and grandparents easily and comfortably.

"I had reservations re:..."
I had reservations re: the cabin being clean from reading previous reviews, but we were pleasantly surprised. Everything was great with the exception of 3 items. First, the last guests had smoked cigars and left cigar buts in the upstairs master bedroom; housekeeping stated they were aware of this but did not change the bedding, pillows, or neutralize the odor in the room until I called to complain. This should have been done immediately when housekeeping discovered the cigar butts. There were also cigarette butts in the grass aroung the deck. Second, the self-cleaning oven was filthy, and third, the grill on the deck could use new burner shields and a good cleaning. All in all, our family loved the cabin and the resort area and would return again. I would suggest that management add a box of Kleenex to each bedroom---even budget hotels do this as do other vacation rentals.

"Great Getaway!"
The check-in process was simple and took place over the phone. The cabin was ready before the stated time which we were happy about. Cabin was very clean and furnished nicely. There was one large window with a long crack in it however it was up high and did not distract from our view of the mountains. We are already planning a trip back in the fall and will be staying here again!

"Beautiful Cabin with only a few complaints...."
This cabin is absolutely beautiful...great location...great shape...lots of amenities. My only complaint had to do with the housekeeping. For the most part everything was clean but we did find dirty dishes in the cabinets, dirty sheets in one room (covered in someone else's hairs!) and misc hairs in all the showers. It's a shame because it really detracted from the overall beauty of the cabin.

Hi Sheryl, we do apologize for the cleaning issues. We do quality control our cleaning and it does appear that we missed these items.

Our first visit to Elk Springs we stayed in the Eagles Nest, it was perfect!! This year we were in the View, it was not so perfect. The cabin wasn't as clean as it should have been, and the theater room had broken chairs and problems with the screen. Overall, the cabin is nice, it just needs better upkeep. We will be back! Next time we will come back to the Eagles Nest! The cabins are in a great location and secluded, and the staff is wonderful!

"Security Guard Walks In Cabin Without Notice"
Be aware of the security on the property because he is a pervert. My friends and I were in the dinning room playing cards and looked up and there the security guard was. He said he was just letting us know that the sound travel through the woods, but we were fine (so why are you here). He goes on to talk about how he walks in on people while they are nude. I don't understand why he does this. If he has to go to a cabin for any reason, then the right then to do is knock and if no one heard you then you should yell SECURITY at the front door, not walk around cabin. That was a major problem for my friends and I. One other problem was that one of my friend accidently left her cell phone in the cabin on the check-out date. Check-out is at 10, so I called the resort maybe 15 minutes after 10 and receptionist was very nice. She said she would give me more time if I needed, but I only needed to come back to get the phone. Once I got back to the cabin, the housekeeper was already there. She give me the phone and then I asked if I could come in to use the restroom and she said, "NO"! She said she was cleaning and didn't want to cleaning it again.
Response from the manager, Elk Springs Resort - 02/03/2011

"Review of the View Home"
Overall we were very pleased with the log home we rented recently. We only had two problems; one was the internet was not working and it took 3-4 days to get fixed and the other was the sewer pump alarm went off. Once we figured out what it was and called the number on the alarm they were extremely helpful and kind. The plumber was out the next morning and fixed the problem.
Response from the manager, Elk Springs Resort - 08/15/2010
Glad you enjoyed your stay. We had a comcast outage in the area that lasted for about 3-4 days. Apparently they had a piece of hardware in one of their switching stations that was bad, but it effected most of our area. We have a water treatment facility that treats water instead of a septic system and it has a series of safety alarms. We had an issue with one of the pumps, but glad we were able to resolve it so quickly. Remember, you get 10% off as a repeat visitor.

Response from the manager, Elk Springs Resort - 08/13/2010
Tanya, we have excellent customer service ratings. I'm sorry we couldn't keep you happy, we tried our absolute best, but it became completely unreasonable. We have an obligation to our other guests as well and simply could not keep up with your unrealistic expectations.

"Our first cabin experience"
This was our first time staying in a rental cabin and did not know what to expect. Right away we knew we not only made the right choice in cabin companies but also picked the perfect cabin for us. Everything was explained and laid out for us in detail so much so that we did not need to contact the main office at all. Except for a few cobwebs and bugs(which is to be expected in the woods), we could not have asked for a better time. Staying there was better than the hotels we stayed at during the rest of our trip. We are planning on a future trip with more family memebers and looking forward to trying a different cabin. This turned out to be one of our highlights of the trip. Thanks.

"The View Elk Springs Resort June 2010"
The cabin phone did not work the entire time we where there, even though we reported the problem. The people before us where not considerate of the next group. The dishwasher had big chunks of food in the bottom that I cleaned up and we found dishes with dried on food in the cabinets. Otherwise it was very nice.

A breakfast basket upon arrival was included with the reservation.When I did not receive it I called Luxury Link.I was told I would hear back via phone call.I never got the call and I did not receive the basket.

"Beautiful Cabin - At the top of our list of places to stay in Ga"
My family and I stayed at the view for a week in March 2010 and we loved it!!! The cabin was beautiful, exactly as it was described on the website...Very clean, immaculately kept, nothing was out of place! Definitely met all our expectations. Excellent staff...We had a problem with our AC and within minutes the maintenance staff showed up and had it up and running. Elk Springs is definitely on the top of our list of places to stay in Gatlinburg. We will be back for sure.

We stayed at The View for our 25th anniversary. The cabin was absolutely beautiful! The balcony had a wonderful view of the mountains and it seemed to have more privacy than some of the other cabins. We had a problem with the dryer not working and within an hour someone was there to see what was wrong. He even took our wet clothes and dried them for us at another cabin in case the appliance repairman couldn't fix the dryer that day. We were totally impressed!! Everyone we dealt with was extremely nice and helpful. We can't wait to go back.

"why three stars on general condition"
I gave 5 stars on everything except for general condition, simply because there was a home theater chair that was broken, we were not penalized for this as it was already broken when we got there, we pointed it out to the manager, and he had a maintenance man come to the cabin, when telling the maintenance man he already knew about it... I think since it is in the arrival packet that we will be charged for broken furniture, etc. then somone should have mentioned that one of the chairs were broke and that it is noted... A broken chair would have not kept us from staying... Overall fabulous place to stay, grounds were nice, nothing run down, the cabin was excellent.. Highly Recommend, and we are already looking at some dates to stay again. Thank you Elk Springs Resort!
Response from the manager, Elk Springs Resort - 03/23/2010
Hi Doug, thank you for the comments and we're glad you enjoyed your stay. Sorry about the inconvenience with the theater seat, but it did break and in this particular case we were not able to repair it, we had to replace it. Remember, you get 10% off on any future stays above and beyond any other specials!

Geting up there in the winter may require 4WD due to the steep roads and ice/snow conditions.

"Great place to stay!!"
The View was great and we had plenty of room for 6 adults. Check-in is 3pm but the View was not rented the day before we were to arrive and Elk's Springs let us come at 3am. We called when we noticed the hot tub had a bad leak and within 5 to 10 minutes someone was there to check it out. All of the Elk Springs employees we talked to were really very nice and helpful!!

"September 2009"
The only two things that were bothersome to my group were that the cabin was very loud and there were cob webs on many of the light fixtures etc. I was traveling with a 3 month old baby and it was hard for him as well as my other guests to sleep while being able to hear every noise someone made in the cabin. Some sound buffering would be nice (like area rugs etc.). Specially on the second floor. The main floor bedroom hears every step and sound made from the second floor.
Heather S.
"Heather S.'s review of The View"
Overall we were very satisfied with the condition of the cabin. The only thing that bothered me was the fact that a roach ran across the cupboard where the dishes were. We killed it but then would not eat off of the dishes after that until they were all washed.
We enjoyed the theater room and the game room. I thought that it was a great cabin for a family and we did enjoy the hot tub and jacuzzi as well.

"The View" was a wonderful vacation get-a-way. It was on a culd-a-sac with only 2 other cabins. The cabin had everything as explained on the website except the xbox 360.(The kids survived with the pool table and air hockey.)
Ashish A.
"Everything you want in a luxury cabin"
Ours had a hot tub, two jaccuzzis, air hockey table, pool table, TVs in every room, a home theatre setup, a marvelous kitchen, a fantastic deck, a beautiful living room, gorgeous furniture, superb mattresses, a gas grill, a washer-dryer. I could go on and on. This was simply the best cabin we have ever had the pleasure of renting. Thanks for making our vacation memorable. We will surely come back again.

"No hot water!!!!"
The View is lovely but after the first round of showers, we had no hot water. We went by the office in the Arts Village, but no one was there at 10:30 in the morning mid week. We called the after hours number and got through to someone and they came and relit the pilot, but again, one more round of showers and no hot water. At that point we said the heck with it and actually ended up leaving a day early due to the hassle of dealing with the lack of hot water. We were also surprised at the lack of space to store any grocery items. The cabinets were filled with pots/dishes/ etc, but no room was left to store groceries.

"A Lovely Week at the View"
Our stay at the View was great! The accommodations were practically new and the beds were very comfortable. We did notice that the kitchen needed a few more items to be completely functional (additional serving bowls, a pitcher, etc). Mgmt quickly responded to our request for these items.
Response from the manager, Elk Springs Resort - 06/07/2009
Jane, thank you for the kind review and we're glad you enjoyed your stay with us. We are constantly working to keep the kitchen utensils and core set of cookware up to date.

"My Stay At The View"
Great cabin, great location, and great view of the surrounding woods and mountains in the background. My group and I were overall very satisfied with the trip and the cabin particularly. My only complaint was that the microwave did not seem to heat anything and we were not able to change power levels. Other than that minor complaint, I'd gladly recommend the cabin to anyone and will likely head back in the future.

"25th Wedding Anniversary"
We stayed at "The View" for five nights. The cabin was even better than we expected. The cabin was like it was brand new. The wood was beautiful. We enjoyed the theater room and watched movies most nights. After spending the days away, we were eager to get back to "our cabin" with a movie and a soak in the hot tub. Most of all we enjoyed the deck with the rocking chairs with the view of the mountains and all the birds singing. Even though we had five T.V.'s, we only turned them on for the weather channel to plan our week. We had a great vacation and can't wait to go back.

"A Review of "The View""
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Gatlinburg at "The View". The cabin was very clean and well furnished. Our boys especially enjoyed the pool table, the air hockey table, the hot tub, and the huge projection TV. My wife loved the peaceful setting in the Smokies. The laundry facility was put to good use.
Our only complaint was the microwave oven did not work.
A final suggestion would be to give better directions to the office (we were expecting a stand-alone building) and to the cabin.
"spring break 2009"
We had a great time. We took ours kids and a neice and nephew. They all had ball in the theater room and hot tub. We will definitely go back.

This cabin was just fantastic, it was much more than I thought it would be. The cabin was spotless, everything was new, very comfortable beds. The back deck was amazing just sitting on the rocking chairs. The theater room was also amazing. Everything was fantastic, nothing was wrong at all.

We stayed at "The View" for a week and what can I say. Our family had an amazing time. The amenities were spectacular! The pool table and the theater room were favorites for all of us. The location is perfect to drive into and out of town. The kids can't wait to return next year and we are already thinking of returning in the summer. Also a big thanks to Andy Gladstein for his impecable customer service. See you soon!!!

"Honeymoon: The View"
Great property & location - 5 stars across the board with the exception of staff/customer service which was non existent. In our case we were fine with no interruptions but it would have been nice if we would have needed something or needed info on the cabin or property or help with something to have someone to call, or at least a check up after check in. ex: "is there anything you need, is the cabin okay, more towels etc." Other than that and us not having phone service (Via cell phone AND in cabin phone - service had been disconnected due to no payment). The only call we got was a rushed person who called while we were in route to the cabin to give us the door code. Other than the lack of service the cabin & stay was great!!

"Our Stay at The View"
Loved our stay in this cabin. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The only problem we had was the road to the house was not paved and it had been snowing prior to our visit. After it melted, the road became very muddy and nasty to travel on. Made a mess on our car. Would love to see the road paved. Also, had a really hard time getting through to the office prior to our stay and when we were calling to check out. Prior to our stay, I had questions and I kept calling and the call would forward to the reservation clerks-which could not answer my questions. At check out, I called and no one answered. Other than that, we had a lovely time in this beautiful cabin.

The cabin we rented in Gatlinburg, "The View", was awesome! The cabin looked as if we were the first ones to stay in it. Overall I give the place a 6 out of 5 rating. We definately will be back!

"Big Screen TV"
We were EXTREMELY disappointed that the 9 foot TV in the theatre room was not connected to cable. We had 3 families together for the weekend, and a big part of our focus was to watch the SEC & Big 12 championship football games. The website pictures show a baseball game on the screen, so we were confident that we could watch the football games. Very disappointed with this issue. We called to get help, but apparently all the cable boxes were "in use".

"Loved the place and will come back!!!"
The only problem was the showers did not get warm... the bath tub up stairs did( the big one) but the others did not. We should have called but never got around to it... just a note.

Everything associated with the cabin was bueatiful. The only problem I had, was the Big Screen shows a picture of a baseball game. The Projector is for Movies ONLY. I felt that was quite misleading when I was making my decision of where to stay.

"Could be excellent cabin with some small additions/fixes"
Furniture - Excellent/Beautiful. Hot Tub - Great! The biggest problem is the game room being on the same room as the living room. We would try to talk in the living room or watch tv and could not hear anything anyone was saying due to other family playing pool or air hockey. There needs to be a dividing wall with some extra absorption to help with the noise. This is the main reason we would never stay in this cabin again. It is also a huge issue for me that staying a week in a cabin we would be required to furnish more toilet paper(only 1 roll per bathroom) dishwasher soap(3 prov) and only 2 trashbags. What are we paying for? Even in a cheap motel you get extra toilet paper. The last 2 nights we were having to shift toilet paper from bathroom to bathroom to keep from purchasing and taking home. We have been staying in Gburg for 11 years now and usually 2-5 times a year, for such a beautiful cabin and furnishings the small things and noise level make this cabin one we would not stay in again. I hope that other cabins from this company are not laid out in the same way. And again, I can not urge enough.. FURNISH ENOUGH AMENITIES! I cant imagine having to go back home with trashbags, dishwasher soap and toilet paper after a vacation because a cabin we are paying well over $1000 for, didn't furnish it. One more thing about the noise level.. we had to end up buying box fans so when others wanted to get up early we didn't disturb those who wanted to sleep in. The cost to put a sound barrier between rooms and floors would have went a long way. The cabin was very soundproof to noise outside, but we had to go outside to try and have some family time while the kids played in the game room. I'm really sorry to give such a bad review, but again for so much money to be spent on the furniture and building of the cabin, a lot missing in comparison to other cabins we have stayed in.

We definitely enjoyed our stay at The View especially after our awful experience with Magic Mountain. This cabin was exactly what we had been looking for clean, new, and full of things for our children to enjoy. We found ourselves not wanting to leave the cabin.

I always find it very exciting to sneak unnoticed into the attic of my grandmother. It is dark, the air is full of dust and only a beam of light shining through the small window is showing me the way to all the treasures which evoke memories in us.
On a small wooden shelve i found the old radio, that my grandfather loved so much. It already had a crack , but it still seemed to work fine. I went to the old couch and my hand slid over the slightly rough fabric. It was a little bit dirty and blurred, but i still could see the small roses in soft pink. I took one of those fluffy pillows in my hand and even more dust dust kicked up.
In an other corner i saw an old dress of my grandmother, decorated with wonderful ruffles, sewn from a lightweight and transparent fabric.
It was like these old treasures on the attic were showing me a past, telling me stories and at the same time it all looked so elegant. In my mind's eye i saw my grandmother dancing in her livingroom to all those romantic songs played by my grandfather's radio, wearing that beautiful dress on a summerday full of happniess.
I started dreaming that with a little bit of retouch that couch would look perfect in my home. It would give it a cosy and living look. And just couldn't wait to try on that dress. With a little stitch-work that dress would be a great outfit for a summerparty. I would definitely look lovely in it.
It's time to bring beautiful memories alive again, so show us your talent and give your creation a shabby chic look !

Saints are preparing for their second season in the top flight and have ambitious plans for the future, with European football mentioned as possibility.
Earlier this month Lyon's Dejan Lovren arrived for £8.5million and there is clearly still money in the bank for signings at St Mary's.
Pochettino on Thursday confirmed a move for Celtic midfielder Wanyama "could happen" still, while there is interest in Valencia's Banega and Brazil international Damiao.
"We manage a lot of information about very good players," the Saints boss said. "One of them is Damiao, also Banega and also Wanyama. We are managing the situation as well as we can at the moment.
"The main thing is that we as a club, Southampton, are managing when these negotiations happen so that is what is happening. We are managing when these players are going to be signed and how we sign them.
"Our goals are very clear. I am also not trapped by the fact that I said I wanted to have our transfer window closed by July 1. We are not interested in 15 or 20 players. We are interested in maybe two or three key players.
"At the same time, I also want to say our squad at the moment is really good and it is not like we are trapped in the sense that we need these players to be a better squad.
"Our squad as it is really good already, but we just want to bring in two or three players that reinforce key areas in the squad to become an even better team."
Pochettino also confirmed that a number of squad players will be leaving the club this summer. Billy Sharp, Dean Hammond and Tadanari Lee are among those players, as are Lee Barnard, Richard Chaplow and Steve de Ridder.

Re: teacake does Stargate: punch it
Okay so you're pregnant and fat. This means you are also increasing in breast size. So you put Vala in a STUNNING colour, like a real colour not the colour of fricking toast and you play to the cleavage. Everything else is swathed in a way that makes the cleavage all the more rubenesque. Swathed, because the Goa'uld are so incredibly wealthy and glorious and a few extra yards of fabric make that all the more apparent. A long train would go down a treat.
It could have been fabulous. That dress needs shoulders so that the cleavage really catches the eye, instead we're just looking at bare shoulders. But the biggest crime is that disgusting colour, even if Claudia Black had said, "I WANT A MATERNITY FROCK" they could have done it in a real colour.

Eric Nuttall: Maximizing Oil and Gas Investments
Source: Brian Sylvester and Karen Roche of
Energy Report
"If you want to talk about the Gulf and the oil leak in terms of
investment, I think it's creating some pretty interesting
investment opportunities," says Eric Nuttall, portfolio manager of
Sprott Asset Management's Energy Fund. The straight-shooting
Nuttall never fails to opine or shine as he explains why onshore
oil plays are solid investments and talks oil and gas juniors,
shales and prices in this exclusive interview with
The Energy Report.
The Energy Report:
How do you see the European Union's sovereign bailout of Greece
affecting the oil price?
Eric Nuttall:
It relates to the overall psychology about global and European
economic growth. We've seen the price of oil have unbelievable
volatility on different headlines. A few weeks ago when Goldman
Sachs was being investigated for fraud, oil took a tumble. It is
largely being driven by traders looking for an excuse to buy or
sell, depending on whatever headline they read that day. It's
difficult now to appreciate the effect the bailout of Greece is
going to have on European and global oil demand. I think that it's
more of a knee-jerk reaction than an actual shift in fundamental
demand or supply.
The oil price is up a few dollars since we first heard about
British Petroleum (NYSE:BP; LSE:BP)
's accident in the Gulf of Mexico, which is likely to delay further
offshore exploration there. How do you see this incident
influencing the oil price?
As it stands, I think it has had almost no fundamental impact, and
there's a few reasons for that. One, the route of oil imports into
Louisiana has not been impacted because the slick is too far east.
As long as there are no disruptions in actual imports of crude oil,
there really should be minimal impact on pricing.
And over the long term?
Were there to be a permanent ban on offshore drilling, that would
obviously have an impact given the Gulf accounts for a meaningful
percentage of overall U.S. oil production. However, with the long
lead-time to projects, be it three to five years to first oil or
first gas, a short-term ban on drilling is not going to have an
impact on longer-term supplies. I really don't see it having a
large impact in either the short term or long term.
What about the environmental implications?
I think that it's too early to accurately say, though there is
obviously a bias in the media to over-sensationalize at times.
There are suspicions that 5,000 barrels of oil per day are leaking
into the Gulf. I've read that over 2,000 barrels per day naturally
leak from subsurface cracks in the seabed. Longer term, I think the
impact is not going to be as significant as some people are
Has the oil spill created investment opportunities?
I think it has created some pretty interesting investment
opportunities, one being British Petroleum. I started buying it the
last Friday in April. It's turned into a sin stock, along with the
tobacco companies. We've seen an erosion of over $21 billion in
market cap, which I find just astounding. I put pen to paper in
terms of what the maximum exposure could be, and my maximum cost
scenario amounted to around $10 billion. That's less than half the
market cap erosion. In the meantime, the price of oil is doing
quite well. You can buy a company, with a PE at seven, yielding
about 7% annually, and it's obviously out of favor.
How much BP did you buy?
I made it about a 2% weighting for the overall energy fund,
thinking that it looks like a pretty easy 10% trade over an
undefined time period, but I don't expect it to be a long-term
holding. You get paid 7% per annum in the meantime.
Why didn't the oil spill decrease all oil company stocks? Why just
There's no reason that it should have. There is some thought that
for offshore drilling companies, it's going to become more
expensive because of increased insurance costs; and secondly, there
is likely going to be a need for more safety equipment such as a
second blowout preventer, or maybe more servicing of the equipment.
So higher cost, lower margins. Some companies that would actually
benefit should a long-term offshore drilling ban be enacted would
be the onshore oil producers. The Bakken names have been very, very
strong. In addition, the Canadian oil sands become increasingly
attractive, given that the Gulf of Mexico is one of the few areas
of tremendous prospectivity. If reason goes out the window and
there is a medium- to long-term ban on offshore drilling in the
Gulf, then the only remaining large source of oil is either the
Bakken or the Canadian oil sands.
There's not much fundamental support for oil in the $80 range. Some
experts believe the trading of oil derivatives is largely
responsible for pushing the price to that level. What's really
going on?
I would agree that a price in the high $80s is probably not
justified. The most important number to look at now is OPEC's
capacity and compliance on production rates. We have seen a
significant deterioration in OPEC compliance relative to what their
production quotas are. I think we've had six months now of abiding
to 50% overall compliance, and they're sitting on 5-6 million
barrels a day spare capacity. They've publicly stated-at least
Saudi Arabia has-that they find a price in the $70s or $80s to be
"fantastic." The largest holder of spare capacity in the world is
telling you that the high $70s and $80s is its price point. That
tells me that in the medium to long term, that will probably be the
going price until a global economic recovery is able to soak up a
majority of OPEC's spare capacity.
How long will that take?
I think that could take several years. In the meantime, an $80 oil
price is as high as we go for the short term.
Among your Energy Fund's bigger holdings is
Bankers Petroleum Ltd. (
, which is up to $9 now from about $1.70 a year ago. What are
things you look for when you seek investment opportunities in oil
companies like Bankers?
We look for companies that have a very meaningful resource upside
that is not currently being recognized by the market. In addition,
we look for companies that are well funded, preferably have
production, and are stewarded by good management teams.
That sounds like Bankers.
Bankers is a perfect example. We got involved in the company a few
years ago. I had been following the asset, which is the largest
onshore oil field in Europe and was discovered by the Russians in
1929. A new management team parachuted in and we had known the new
CEO Abdel (Abby) Badwi and his technical team from a previous
company that we had done extraordinarily well with called Rally
Is that when you got involved?
The day that Abby joined Bankers we offered, and they accepted, a
$50 million financing. Bankers have used those funds to increase
production, but much more importantly, it was able to delineate the
field. Since our initial investment, the field has grown from about
2.2 billion barrels to over 5 billion barrels of oil in place. And
they have used Canadian drilling technologies-pumping and
horizontal drilling-to meaningfully increase the production profile
of a typical well. They've been having wells come on at over 150
barrels a day on a horizontal basis, which is just phenomenal. It
really increases the net present value of the company because you
accelerate production. The company is producing over 8,000 barrels
a day and has a visible window to grow to over 30,000 over the next
several years.
Is it a takeover target?
There are very few assets like this that have the strategic nature
of both being onshore and also being of a material enough size to
attract the attention of a large state oil company. We think
Bankers is likely to be taken over in the next, I would say, two
years, most likely at a 50% to 100% premium from where it's trading
today. I think that when Abby and his team are ready to part with
it and move on, it should generate quite a bit of interest.
You also hold a lot of
Corridor Resources Inc. (
, which has exploded from about $2 this time last year to around
$6.30. Tell us about it.
Corridor has a lot of the same attributes as Bankers. It had a
large land base in New Brunswick, which is not a province that is
typically associated with hydrocarbon production. We saw quite a
bit of running room in their McCully Gas Field. In addition, we
thought that they had very significant onshore shale gas potential,
as well as a huge offshore exploration prospect that could contain
up to 1 billion barrels of oil. Corridor owns 100% of that prospect
and we're hoping that they will be able to drill it later this
Since our investment, they've increased production at McCully
and, most importantly, a very significant a shale gas producer
Apache Corporation (
agreed to evaluate the commercial potential of natural gas in the
Frederick Brook shale formation. Having such a premium quality
shale gas producer come to New Brunswick really validated the
resource potential.
How is that working out?
Corridor has drilled a few wells into it, had promising test
results, and so now Apache is carrying them for $25MM, on an
earn-in basis, which will take them through proof of concept. At
that point, Corridor could have over 50 TCF (trillion cubic feet of
natural gas) net to the company. That's a huge, huge potential
resource and that's something I look for. We weren't paying for it
at the time. It always makes me uncomfortable when you're expected
to have to pay for exploration success. I much prefer to buy
companies that are cheap with existing production; you get the
resource upside for free, because exploration doesn't always
Is that an investment philosophy?
I tell my sales force I never want to come into the office and be
afraid that I am going to have a name down 80% because they dusted
one individual well. It's a tough way to get rich. I much prefer
buying companies with existing production where you get the
exploration as a free option as opposed to the exploration upside
being the only thesis to the investment.
What are some other juniors you have your eye on?
One name that's done very well for us is
Rock Energy Inc. (
. It's a conventional producer of heavy oil in the Lloydminster
area of Alberta, Canada; it's trading about four times cash flow on
existing production, but at the same time, they're testing a
natural gas play in the Elmworth area of Alberta. It's surrounded
by the likes of
Encana Corporporation (
ConocoPhillips (
, and
Daylight Energy Ltd. (TSX:DAY.UN;DAY)
(formerly Daylight Resources Trust), all of which are well-regarded
companies. These companies have either successfully tested or have
existing production from two zones, which Rock is targeting, which
are the Montney and the Nikanassin zones. They have had a
successful Montney test rate. They should have a good Nikanassin
test rate over the next couple of quarters. If 10% of their acreage
works in one of those two zones, then it could triple their
reserves. So they have a highly significant exploration program;
but at the same time, it's trading at four times cash flow and
existing production-so your downside is largely protected.
Delphi Energy Corp. (
is also a name I like a lot for a one- to two-year investment. They
have a great asset base in the Deep Basin of Alberta where they are
targeting in 2010 over five new zones that have no meaningful
reserve bookings. I see them having the potential to triple their
production and quadruple their reserve base through a successful
exploration program this year, which so far has been going
extremely well. At the same time, they produce over 8,000 boe/d and
trades at around six times enterprise value to cash flow, so it is
not being valued at an egregious valuation.
What about onshore oil juniors in places that are maybe not quite
as stable as Canada but still relatively stable? Something like
Tethys Petroleum Ltd. (
Tethys has had some extraordinary well results in Kazakhstan;
they're also in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. The market is highly
anticipating a follow-up well from their original well. Management
thinks they could be sitting on a very material oil discovery in
the hundreds of millions of barrels. The geographical location of
their discovery is kind of in the no man's land in Kazakhstan in
terms of where it was thought you would find oil; it was thought to
be a much more gas-prone area of the country. They could have an
incredible material oil discovery; there have been some very large
numbers thrown around, like several hundred million barrels
recoverable potential. If further drilling is successful, then the
company should do quite well, even though it's been a big winner
over the past year.
You also own a lot of
Questerre Energy Corporation (
Questerre is in the Utica Shale, an emerging shale play in Quebec.
Of the juniors, Questerre has the largest and highest-quality
acreage swath in the play. The stock has been weak recently;
Questerre did a financing at over $4 and now trades around $3. They
have had some very encouraging test rates from a recent eight-stage
horizontal well that rivals the Marcellus Shale, We think, given
the passage of time, assuming that future horizontal wells confirm
the first test rate, Questerre could be sitting on a four-to-five
net TCF discovery, and on a market cap today of roughly $700
million with well over $160 million in the bank, it's a pretty good
higher-risk investment. However, they have limited production, so
your risk is a little higher than other names.
Could you provide with an overview of natural gas exploration over
the last 20 years?
Until recently, the majority of natural gas was produced from
conventional sandstone; these would be highly permeable,
high-porosity reservoirs of consolidated sand. You typically drill
a vertical well that requires no fracking, which is when you put
pressure on the reservoir to induce artificial cracks to enhance
the flow rates. Until the last 15 years, sandstone deposits were
the predominant focus of the industry. As large discoveries became
more rare, the industry started targeting unconventional zones.
These include tight sands, a sandstone where natural permeability
is low. If you drilled a vertical or horizontal well into one of
those without fracking it, it would yield an uneconomic rate. Tight
gas has been a focus for about the past 15 years as large
discoveries have been made such as the Pinedale anticline in
After that, the industry went toward coal bed methane-coal seams
saturated with gas that must be desorbed. CBM, too, had a large
increase in production but is now in decline. After coal bed
methane, the industry started going toward shale gas.
Shale has natural gas in the actual porosity of the reservoir
and the natural fractures; however, it really needed better
fracking technology to make most plays economic. The revolution was
to drill a horizontal well using a very long lateral hole and then
be able to place not one frack but up to 30 different fracks in an
individual well bore. The Barnett Shale was really the first to
take off commercially. That led then to the Marcellus Shale,
Fayetteville Shale, and then most recently the Haynesville Shale,
which is being touted as probably the most economic shale play. It
straddles the border between Louisiana and Texas.
How has finding natural gas in shales changed the industry?
In Canada, going back a couple of years, the average well would
come on at about a quarter of million a day in initial production.
In the Haynesville Shale, it is not uncommon to drill a 15
million-a-day well-or 60 times the average initial production of a
Canadian conventional vertical well. This is a huge change in
average productivity, which has led to a very bloated natural gas
storage situation in North America, which has led to low
Is it true that certain shale leases are artificially inflating
A lot of companies acquired acreage in these shale plays,
predominantly the Haynesville Shale, and the terms of the leases
require a company to drill and produce within about a three-year
timeframe. For a lot of these companies the expiration window is
fast approaching. Companies are being forced to drill and produce
on this acreage, even though the economics may not be as stellar as
they once thought they would be. That's leading to an artificial
influx of natural gas.
Where do you see prices going for the rest of 2010 and then maybe
for the next three to four years?
I think for the next three years there's a cap of about $6 on
natural gas. There is an unbelievable amount of supply that is
highly economic at that price point. You have companies that are
the largest in the industry such as Encana and
Chesapeake Energy Corp. (
, both sending out very aggressive growth forecasts. They're both
growing by 50% over the next three to five years. So when you have
the largest companies bringing on production at a time when natural
gas pricing is in the $4-$5 range, it tells you that they view the
marginal cost of supply to their portfolio as much less than
historically. We used to think that we needed $7-$8 to grow natural
gas profitably. That is no longer the case.
What effect is hedging having?
Much of industry in the U.S. is hedged, approximately 55%, at
around $7; that's allowing companies to maintain a very active
capital-expenditure program. This has led to a very over-supplied
market, and my theory is that until the core areas of each of the
shale plays are drilled up, which I think could take three to five
years or longer, we're in a situation of a chronic oversupply. Four
dollar natural gas is too low; I do not think $4 is sustainable,
but at the same time, I do not think we need $7-$8 to bring on
supply. I think a $5-$6 range, probably closer to $6 than $5, is
probably what we should be expecting over the next three-odd
Which one gets you more excited: the oil or the gas sector?
It's a common question because a lot of people say oil is trading
at $84 and gas is at $4, obviously you must be looking for oil
companies and that's not necessarily the case. The valuations of
oil companies now and the multiple that you have to pay is
significantly higher than for natural gas companies. If we use a
long-term natural gas price of $5, we can buy some natural gas
companies at their proven net present value, which implies that
you're getting the probable and possible reserves for free. Given
the confidence in proven reserves, the risk/reward on that type of
investment is extraordinarily low. I think as gas prices firm up
from $5 over the next six months, those companies will be very good
performers. Despite having the stigma of being natural gas
producers, I think people are going to head to that area of the
market over the next couple of months.
Does that mean you're not looking at oil companies?
There are some oil companies as well that are trading at very
attractive valuations. It's not so much trying to target natural
gas or oil; it's trying to be opportunistic in trying to find the
most upside on a risk / reward basis.
What's Eric Nuttall's tried-and-true method of playing the
Buy companies that trade at reasonable valuations on existing
production but whom also have very meaningful reserve potential for
which you don't have to pay. Make sure that their balance sheets
are strong enough so that they can withstand a long period of low
commodity prices so they won't be forced to liquidate assets.
Invest in management teams that have proven themselves in the past,
but make sure you're buying into good assets. You can have a good
management team with a mediocre asset and they're still probably
going to do okay. But if you have a good asset and a bad management
team, you're probably not going to do terribly well. The quality of
the asset is terribly important.
That's all?
One other thing. Try to recognize opportunities before others, and
this just doesn't apply to the oil and gas sector, but it's
something that we always try to do. Recognize opportunities before
others; don't be afraid to be wrong; act quickly if you see a very
exciting opportunity where the risk reward is very skewed; act
quickly, act big.
Is that what you did when you recently took a position in
Massey Energy Co. (
Massey is out of favor given that there was a significant mine
explosion in April. The stock has fallen 30% or $1.2 billion. The
ultimate cost of the monetary reimbursement for the families of the
fallen miners is likely to reach $100 million. So you have about an
18-times decrease in market cap relative to ultimate exposure.
You're buying a company at seven-times earnings. They have the
largest net metallurgical coal reserve of any U.S. company. Met
coal pricing has been extraordinarily strong due to strong steel
demand worldwide. You need met coal to produce steel. You've got a
market cap of $3.8 billion with some debt, so an enterprise of $4.5
billion and a coal reserve of almost three billion tons. It's not a
bad value proposition. The memories from the tragic accident will
pass with time and the stock should do quite well.

There are lots of reasons to love fall: foliage, fireplaces, football ... But our favorite here at Food52 is the season's promise of soup. Nothing beats tucking into a warm bowl of goodness at the end of a long day, and what better way to shake off the chill of these early winter evenings than by the heat of the stove. Best of all, soups are the perfect weeknight supper -- they're easy to shop for and quick to prepare, and if you make a big enough pot, you'll have leftovers to come home to all week.

We love WinnieAb's proclivity for combining delicious, nutritious ingredients (like the many vegetables in this soup) with a touch of the indulgent (bacon, cheese tortellini). The smokiness of the bacon permeates the minestrone, imbuing the tomatoey broth with a depth of flavor it wouldn't have otherwise. The bright, rustic pesto (we used parsley, but basil would be great too) is a superb final addition, adding a garlicky, herbal kick. - Amanda & Merrill Get the recipe Photo: Sarah Shatz
My mother has lots of signature dishes, but one of my favorites is also one of her simplest: She calls it chicken "stoup," because it's a hearty chicken soup with more meat and veggies than broth ("Stew" plus "soup" equals "stoup" -- get it?). Over the years, I've adopted it as a staple, perfect for when the weather starts to turn chilly. My stoup has evolved to be somewhat different from my mother's -- for example, I never include potatoes, and I go pretty heavy on the lemon juice, dill and black pepper at the end. I do believe it's worth the effort of buying chicken on the bone and cooking it right in the soup before taking it off the bone in order to create a really rich, reinforced broth. Sometimes I add a little pasta -- fusilli, farfalle -- right at the end (I cook it separately in plenty of salted water, until just al dente), but that's up to you. - Merrill Get the recipe Photo: Sarah Shatz
This is a great soup to have in your everyday arsenal. It's sweet, purely flavored and can be made in a flash. The recipe came from Canyon Ranch, back when the Berkshires spa was little known but expensive. Now it is just the latter. I think it's the perfect thing to serve the week after Thanksgiving, when you still crave the flavors but need a break from the heft. The recipe called for a red Rome or Delicious apple, neither of which I found tart enough. I changed it to Honey Crisp or Granny Smith. - Amanda Get the recipe. Photo: Sarah Shatz
With this recipe, MrsWheelbarrow takes a classic home cook recipe and elevates it to elegant dinner party fare. First, she has you make a reinforced stock by simmering the mushroom stems in chicken broth. Then, in a move that evokes the fastidiousness of culinary school, she instructs you to "beautifully and precisely chop" 1 1/2 pounds of mushroom caps into a 1/2-inch dice. Halfway through, you will likely be cursing both her and us, but trust us: It's worth it. And that's really the bulk of the work. The chopped mushrooms slowly cook down with shallots, thyme and rosemary, and then you deglaze them with a generous swig of Cognac, combine the mushrooms with the reinforced stock and finish with a swirl of cream and a heap of freshly chopped chives. The resulting soup is a lovely balance of delicately creamy and intensely mushroomy, with layered undertones of herbs and Cognac. - Amanda & Merrill Get the recipe Photo: Sarah Shatz
This is almost, but not quite, the traditional French onion soup that comes to mind. It starts with a full three pounds of onions and some smashed garlic, which you caramelize slowly and thoroughly in butter and olive oil. You add thyme and bay leaf and some rich veal stock (homemade is highly recommended both by wcfoodies and by us), and then it's time for the crowning glory: two full cups of wine or beer. We used a dark ale and really liked the bit of kick that the finished soup still had after two plus hours on the stove. Take your time with the onions, and use the three-cheese combo instead of a deli slice. And don't forget to put a piece of toast in the bottom of each bowl -- it makes for a lovely surprise. - Amanda & Merrill Get the recipe Photo: Sarah Shatz
Anyone who knows pho knows that it's all about the broth. WinnieAb uses turkey leftovers (meat and stock, which should really be homemade for this) to coax the most out of this soup. She also adds some warm spices -- coriander, cloves, star anise and cinnamon -- which she toasts beforehand to amp up the broth. Chopped kale is an unusual addition that adds some welcome heft -- we preferred one cup rather than two. As with any pho, don't forget to squeeze in some fresh lime juice just before eating -- it provides a welcome hit of acid that really wakes up the dish. - Amanda & Merrill Get the recipe Photo: Sarah Shatz
No wonder this recipe cheered OB Cookie up on a rough day. The soup itself is a bowl of comfort -- thick, creamy and full of tang, and (best of all) made mostly from things that are probably sitting in your fridge right now. But the simple bacon and scallion vinaigrette really brings the dish to life. You might be skeptical, as we were, about not including some of the bacon fat in the dressing, but trust us -- this keeps the whole thing bright and perky. Of course, for you gluttons out there, it's always an option. - Amanda & Merrill Get the recipe Photo: Sarah Shatz
