"Good Stay at Gatlinburg"
When we entered the property, looking for our cabin, we were a little worried because most of the ones we passed along the way was really close to each other, in a block of 4. But Secret Garden was not one of them, it was a stand alone cabin. One would have to be careful which cabin to rent if looking for a secluded, private cabin. Probably best to call and ask the customer service, if you could wait FOREVER for someone to answer. But the cabin itself was gorgeous. We'd definitely stay again!!! Longer!!!!

Loved staying in our cabin (the Secret Garden)with the only exception being there was no dresser in the main bedroom and the mattress could be replaced, but it was perfect otherwise!

"Labor Day Weekend at Secret Garden"
The cabin was nice--visually. However, there weren't enough towels for all of us which was a pain. I guess a lot of people bring extra towels but we flew up with carry on luggage so that was not an option. Our sheets were dirty when we arrived and I had to wash them immediately(there were actually clumps of dirt in the bed!) Also, your property advertises that there is a fitness facility and a pool which is the primary reason we chose to stay there. Turns out, those facilities are over a mile away at a community center which was certainly not convenient...and didn't even open until 1pm on Sunday. Finally the seating is strange in this cabin. There is no place for 4 people to sit comfortably to watch tv/movie. If you have to go to Gatlinburg, I suppose this "resort" is one of the nicer ones judging from driving around the area. But keep in mind that this is NOT a resort. It is a property with a bunch of cabins. We will not be back.

"Secret Garden"
Overall the cabin was beautiful and clean!! Had plenty of space for our family of 4. The only drawbacks that I experienced were that there were no amenities within the neighborhood of Elk Springs, it's a fairly new subdivision but for families I would suggest they put walking trails, community pool or recreation areas my family loves being outdoors and usually we rent properties on streams, which keeps my kids busy the entire time. At Elk Springs the kids really couldn't play outside as the cabin is on a steep slope and there wasn't anything for them to do, so they played inside with fooseball and pool table. Being summer I would rather them outside. Next time we will find a cabin on a stream.

looked just like the pictures, felt fairly private, shower was awesome, saw rabbits and fireflies every night. would stay there again. only complaints are that: only one corner of the grill would light, and we couldn't make phone calls (no cell service, and we could not get a dial tone on the phone in the cabin to call out)

"Awesome Weekend"
We really enjoyed our stay at the Elk Spring Resort cabin.The accomandations were perfect! The cabin was clean and the furnishing and decorations were beautiful. We loved the view and enjoyed sitting on the porch and listening to the birds.We also appreciated the WIFI,so we could check messages and receive phone calls if we were needed. We enjoyed cooking on the gas grill. It was so nice to cook some meals and be close enough to eat some meals out.We loved the location because it was close to the local merchants with so many handcrafted items to see and purchase.We loved the local people. They were very friendly and inviting. It was nice that downtown Gaitlinburg was close family enjoyed the weekend so much that we would love to visit again. We would also recommend this resort to friends and family. Thanks so much for a great vacation.

"Can't Wait to Head Back"
In the past I have generally wanted to revisit vacation locations like Florida, Hawaii, or Tennessee. It is rare for myself that the "hotel room" makes me want to come back to the same place for accommodation. Honestly if the entire state was snowed in and we were forced to stay inside the cabin, my trip would have still been great.

"It was OK"
It is a very nice cabin, however; the lack of a master bathroom was not expected and the master bedroom was cramp with the bathtub and very small bath sink all in the same room. It may be time to replace the bed as it sags, and a larger TV in the master bedroom would be a nice touch.

Wonderful stay. There are a lot of places on the Internet that look good online but look completely different in person. Secluded Garden was not one of these places. What we saw online was what we got. The place was semi private and the cabin itself was great. It was clean and taken care of. Only wish sewers still there. Great stay will be sure to come back. 5+ Stars.

"Very Relaxing"
Upon entering was extremely pleased and surprised at the size & appearance. Very quiet and secluded area, had to go down a few gravel roads (??) and once in the driveway area it took a bit to orient your vehicle to get out or back UP a gravel incline. We had great weather so the use of the deck & hot tub was enjoyable, no porch covering for the entire outside area of the cabin. The only thing missing was a view from the bedrooms....but, a fabulous rain shower.

"Secret Garden - Gatlinburg, TN"
Very nice property. In a development and while you pass several nice looking homes to get to the property, you are pretty secluded (at least during summer with leaves on the trees).
Pictures are quite representative. Six people (2 kids on pull out sofa) were comfortable. Washer/dryer came in quite handy.
Only downside is that there were not a lot of dishes (enough for six but we did dishes after every meal) and hairdryers were not supplied (we have become used to hotels providing them and did not think of bringing one). Neither were real big issues.

"Wonderful Stay"
Exceeded our expectations.When we arrived and entered the cabin we all had smiles from ear to ear. The cabin was very comfortable and well maintained. I was a little paranoid about how clean the cabin would be, but I was put at ease after my inspection, the cabin was spotless. Both mattresses in both rooms were quite comfortable, every mornining you had to drag everyone out of bed, including myself. However, the master bedroom mattress still was quite comfortable although the center wasn't quite as firm. Even with this minor imperfection. The overall experience was impressive.

"Hot in the mountains"
Me and my family decided to stay at the Secret Garden because of the gorgeous pics on website. The shower tower was amazing but that was it. It was very hot outside at the beginning of July 2012 in the Gatlinburg area. Temps were upper 90's to 100. Inside the cabin at night was 84 degrees. During the day it was up to 86 at its highest inside. We were confined to the bedrooms for any relief. That is not a way to spend your vacation with your family. Called the management and was told that they would send someone to make sure the ac was working properly and that they have had this complaint in the past. Was told to look in closets for plug in fans. I saw them and used them for the first and second night. They did not do any good. Called management after the second night of sweating while we slept and asked if anything was found wrong with the ac? I was told that the ac was working properly. Finally at 6pm on our last night we were being moved to another cabin in the same area. We did appreciate management moving us but at that point it didn't make a difference. I wish they could of moved us earlier or even at reservations let us know that the cabin was hot in the summer especially when they have had complaints in the past with it. Wonderful property but really don't know if I will stay with elk springs again. I paid too much for what we got. My family has stayed at hidden mountain, cabin fever, Jackson mountain homes and some others and this was the first problems we have had. We liked the area and the cabins but could not put up with the heat.

"mostly positive"
Keeping in mind that you are staying in the woods...there were a lot of insects in cabin (i.e. wasps, millipedes, flying ants). We do have very high standards for cleanliness, but when you are paying $350 a night we did expect a lot. Shower in master bedroom could have been cleaner. Kitchen table was sticky. Air conditioner could not keep cabin cool during the hottest part of the day. The outdoor temp was 104, but when we went to bed that night the cabin was 86, even though the air conditioner was running non stop. No relief until next day. There were a lot of amenities in this cabin and it was nice and peaceful. Elk Springs staff was very friendly....although we only had a few brief contacts with them. Oh and directions to cabin were wrong. You need to go to 2nd flashing light off of Glades Rd to find Powdermill Dr., not the first as the directions stated. Needless to say, that caused some confusion.

The staff ultimately made things right by switching us to a great cabin, Mountain Laurel and adding a free night.
Secret Garden has an inadequate A/C system considering its windows and how they are exposed to the sun. It is wrong to continue to rent this place out when the management knows about the problems and does nothing to fix it. Every day, the temperatures got up to 83 degrees (even though the temperature was set at 70)in the cabin between the hours of 3 and 8 pm. Fix this or don't rent this cabin out to unsuspecting travelers.

This was our 25th wedding anniversary trip. We choose Secret Garden because of the ammenities. We were not disappointed. I think this was the best cabin we have ever stayed in. Everything was wonderful. The cabin was very clean and decorated so nice. The little touches added so much. The people were wonderful and great to deal with. I would definately recommend this company to anyone! Thank you for helping to make our 25th anniversary vacation memorable!

"Secret Garden - Elk Springs Resort"
This was our second time staying at Elk Springs Resort, this time we stayed in the Secret Garden cabin. Again we could not have been happier with our stay. The condition and cleanliness of this cabin is first rate. Looking at the picture online it seems almost to good to be true but it's better in person. The kitchen comes equipped with everything you need to cook a great meal. We used the hot tube just about every night and while there are other cabins around you still have the privacy. While there is plenty to do in the area with downtown Gatlinburg, wine trail, golf, hiking and much more you could spend your whole vacation in this cabin and have a great time. I highly recommend this cabin and we will be back to Elk Springs Resort again and again.

"Lots of bad issues"
Bed was broke and mattress was horrible, mant. had to come and fix the bed very dirty under the bed. pool table sides were loose, sofa upstairs was very uncomfortable, when you sit in it you just slid out in the floor, when we called the office to report it I felt like the person was rude and just really didn't believe us or just didn't want to be bothered with the problems going on. This is why I didn't want to reply to survey. We are not complainers, but we were not happy with the stay nothing like the other times we stayed. I will say the maint. guy did the best he could to fix the situations and we appreicated him for that. So sad because we really have enjoyed elk in the past.
Response from the , Elk Springs Resort - 02/23/2012
Hi Joy, i'm so glad we were able to fix all of these items for you within 2 hours of you reporting these problems. The bedframe was loose and instead of tightening the frame we ended up replacing the parts so it doesn't happen again. Despite these items I'm glad we could fix it so quickly on your first day at the cabin for you while you were out enjoying Gatlinburg! You get 10% off all future stays as you did on this reservation as a repeat visitor!

"Rental Experience"
Property location and cabin was beautiful! However, the kitchen was filthy ie...appliances were dirty.
Kitchen floors were dusty, dirty as well as common areas floors. Areas rugs were dirty.
Pull out mattress was so bad, it left mattress springs marks on your back- maintenance was called to ask if they can replace but never heard back.
The fireplace pilot went out on main floor. Maintanence Relit pilot. Fireplace in master bedroom was nonfunctional-maintanence waiting for replacement part. Was unable to use during our stay.
Very limited supplies and towels offered, so we had to buy our own supplies and was our own towels after a couple of uses.
At a cost of $290.00 per night, one would expect better accomodations for their guests.

"This cabin was only ok. It is cold at night in the bed rooms."
The house looked nice at first but the first night the upstairs fireplace did not work and the heat went out in the middle of the night. The second night I found a bottle filled with what appeared to be urine in the closet and the upstairs fireplace quit working again. The third night we found out that the fireplace in the master bedroom did not work and that the grill had a stripped knob. Besides these things that seemed to be overlooked by maintenance and the cleaning staff the stay was ok.

Hi Daniel, 1 or 2 times a year we have problems with the natural gas provided by the county. It can be dirty. When it happens we have to come in and clean the fireplaces. It really only happens 1 or 2 times per year, if at all, but when it does it is unexpected and we have to come in and clean the safeties on the fireplaces. We're sorry this happend during your stay and it is unlikely to happen again. I am glad we were able to respond quickly when it did happen to resolve the problem.

"Absolutely Beautiful!!!"
We had a wonderful stay at the Secret Garden! Check-in and check-out were painless, and Elk Springs was even able to accommodate a couple extra nights so we didn't have to leave so soon!
The cabin is amazing! It definitely lived up to our expectations! Both bedrooms are cozy. All the furniture is comfortable. The fireplaces were stunning! The hot tubs are nice, and the giant rain shower was definitely a hit! We made full use of the nicely appointed kitchen and loved the big gas grill on the back porch. We thoroughly enjoyed all the cabin's amenities!
Our only complaints are that one of the fireplaces stopped working a couple days before we left. This was only a minor inconvenience since we didn't even bother to call maintenance until we were leaving. The second item is that those big beautiful windows leave one feeling a little... exposed... at night since there aren't any curtains or shades on them. Some remote-control shades would be helpful.
Nevertheless, we had a fantastic stay, and Elk Springs Resorts helped to make our honeymoon unforgettable!!! Thank you!!!

This was our first trip to Gatlinburg and being immediately overwhelmed by the myriad of cabins to choose from I went with Elk Springs Resort based off the ratings on Trip Advisor. We were definitely not disappointed. The reservation and check in/out was super easy, no hassle. The resort is close to Gatlinburg and easy to find with the directions that were provided. When we arrived the cabin was in perfect shape, clean and nicely decorated. The pictures are accurate but this cabin is really beautiful in person. We would definitely stay here again or another cabin at this resort...thanks for making this a great trip.

This was our first trip to Gatlinburg, so we relied on photographs and reviews of the cabins at Elk Springs. We could not have been more happy with our choice. Every cabin looked beautiful and well maintained. The area around the cabins was beautiful as well. It was located conveniently to the art district and Gatlinburg itself. We would not hesitate to stay at Elk Springs again, and will most likely choose the same cabin.

I dont know where to begin. I decided to go to Elk Spring in December in hopes that there would be snow, because it would add to the romance and I had just proposed to my fiancée, she loves the snow. I got what I wished for. Upon our arrival we got about 2/3 the way up the hill you climb to the cabin and lost traction due to ice. A gentlemen that worked for Elk Spring showed up and shoveled ice and hand pushed my truck so we could get turned around. He advised they would have the street cleared later. Upon our second arrival we got even further and saw the same guy pushing a car by hand up the hill he stopped us and advised that we would not be able to stay in our original cabin due to ice, however they had a cabin waiting on us. The following day they called and gave us the option to stay where we were or go to our original cabin which we did. Through out our stay we saw this guy working day and night insuring the streets stayed clear. Both cabins were awesome, the service was great from the time I called to make reservations until we left. This trip was one of the most exciting, unpredictable and romantic trips ever. Highly recommended.

We stayed at Secret Garden to celebrate our 10-year wedding anniversary. The cabin was luxurious, the view was awesome, and we loved the location near the Artist Colony, a grocery store, and downtown Gatlinburg.

"Great place for two people"
This place is furnished nice, but if there are more than to people staying, seating becomes a problem. We had to pull in two of the outside rocking chairs for two more seats for the 'living area. Only place there was 4 chairs was at the kitchen table. Did not like 2nd private bath, bed was not very comfortable, dark. THe 'Master suite was lovely. If you want to go, just make sure you have 4 TINY people. Furniture was crowded, not enough space to walk around, AC/Heating regulation problems. We'll never rent that cabin again

"Great location, not motorcycle friendly"
I have good news and bad news. First, let me start with the good. The overall stay was above average. The cabin was in mostly great shape, mostly clean, and was a very good choice. The location in reference to where we wanted to visit was excellent.
Now, here is the bad news. The rooms were a little smaller than expected; especially the bedroom with the tub. While there was a closet; there was no storage room or chest to put your clothes, etc. The room was a little musty and the shower moldy, and all else was clean. My concern was that my wife is allergic to mold. While it was not perfect it was tolerable for here and overall would give the cabin an above average rating in these areas.
Here is the terrible news. Frankly, the marketing department has done a poor job communicating certain areas on the internet. I, like I expect most others, viewed and booked the cabin via the internet. While the pictures are expertly done, as stated above it does not give you a full accounting of the sizes. The most disturbing and poor marketing is that it does not give the cabin's location in reference to the resort. A picture of the driveway or parking areas would be extremely helpful. The Gatlinburg area is a very popular vacation area and even more importantly a highly rated motorcycling touring area; meaning there are a lots of motorcycle riders either trailering or riding their motorcycles there. In my case, I trailered my motorcycle. After, and only after, I made my reservation; and only just prior to my stay was it stated that the cabin was located down a gravel road. At first mention, I had very little concerns as I expected it to be hard packed.
Well, upon my arrival I was surely surprised. Not only was it loose gravel, it was down a steep hill and even further down a gravel driveway to the cabin. There also was very little space for parking a trailer. What was I supposed to do? I could not cancel the reservation, even cal

We spent the first two nights of our honeymoon in the Secret Garden cabin. When we first drove into the resort property, we were a little worried about our stay. The cabins were fairly close together and we had wanted a little privacy. Luckily, the secret garden isn't right next to other cabins and we had plenty of privacy. The cabin was great and the rain shower is awesome!

"Secret Garden 7/10"
Overall it was a good experience. Friendly suggestions would be to add more towel racks, add a couple hangers in the closets, and maybe a flashlight for power outages.

"Honeymoon in the Smokies"
My wife and I recently stayed 6 nights in Secret Garden for our honeymoon and loved everything from the rain shower, location, kitchen, pool table, hot tub, etc. Secret Garden seemed to be the most secluded of the cabins at the resort and it was convenient to town while still providing a country feel. Would recommend this propoerty to anyone staying in the smokies!

The phone didn't work had to have another phone installed. Both my wife and I hit our head in 2nd bedroom shelf where TV was installed. It is too low and a hazard. I told Manager about this. Other than that I really enjoyed the cabin and the location.

Secret Garden was a very nice cabin. We had a few maintenance issues but they were always very quick to respond.

"The Best Kept Secret Garden Ever!"
The cabin was better than the picture! The furniture was in great conditon and matched the theme of the cabin. Everything we needed was clean and waiting for us! The kitchen was well stock with dishes, pots/pan and clean dish towels. We had only one minor problem with one of the showers, but the overall condition of the property more than made up for that problem. I highly recommend these cabins to anyone who would like to get away! The managers, also checked to make sure we had settled into the cabin. When we wanted to be around a crowd, we found everthing we wanted to do in the Gatlinburg area!

"Secret Garden was a little slice of heaven."
My husband and I chose Gatlinburg/Great Smoky Mountains as our destination to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. After a great deal of research online we chose Elk Springs Resort and Secret Garden for our stay. The pictures posted online for the cabin were very accurate--the cabin was gorgeous. There was zero hassle checking in or out of the cabin. We did not do any cooking while we were there due to our short stay, but the kitchen was fully stocked with dishes etc and a nice gas grill is right outside the front door off of the kitchen. The location of the cabin in relation to Gatlinburg is very conveniently located along the artist's loop south of town with grocery stores, gas stations, banks, restaurants etc very nearby (we were impressed with The Ship restaurant along Glades Rd.). This cabin does not have immediate neighbors on either side and might be the most private you can get within the resort. We really enjoyed the peace and quiet and would sit on the deck at night and listen to the frogs and crickets and get up early to listen to the birds--you will not have traffic noise here at all. We often judge our accommodations by the bathrooms and the bathrooms here were spotless. The jacuzzi tub and hot tub were surprisingly clean (like new) and I could not find a speck of mildew in the rain shower or the shower in the other bathroom--this was a welcome relief! It was really nice to return from hiking or sight-seeing and spend 15 minutes in the hot tub. We would recommend this resort without hesitation to family and friends. We posted links to the resort on Facebook while we were there because we were so impressed and because we had free WiFi which does work up in the mountains! The only thing we would add to the cabin would be a coat rack or hooks for coats and maybe a couple more towel bars in the bathrooms. If you're debating staying here, stop debating and book the cabin--you'll be glad you did! We can't wait to visit again and we'll be stayi

It was an amazing property and vacation. The only problem was the comforter in the master bedroom was dirty. Other than that I would say that it was the best trip of my life.

"Great Experience"
My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and we loved it. The cabin was amazing (especially the shower and jacuzzi) and was everything we ever expected. The location of the resort is not exactly the best in regards to scenic views and access to the Smoky Mountains, but it is still close enough so as not to be a hassle. The property was well-maintained and generally clean. Everything went smoothly regarding check-in/check-out and I would highly recommend this company no matter which cabin you eventually choose. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stay here again.

"Great Cabin!!"
We had a great stay at Elk Springs Resort in our cabin Secret Garden! Check in and out was really easy! The location and staff were great! It was away from all the traffic but not too far way from everything. The view was really nice! There were cabins fairly close but the cabin felt really secluded. Secret Garden is on its own little gravel road so we didn't have any traffic at our front door. The staff was wonderful! Marty was very helpful in making the reservation. She was very nice! The security man was very nice and helpful as well. He stopped us several times to ask if we needed anything which was great! We talked to Andy once and he was also very helpful. The cabin overall was really beautiful and overall really clean. We loved the openness of the cabin and the wood floors. The kitchen was great and the 18 ft. shower was the best! There was just a few parts that could be cleaner.....The floors were not the cleanest. They looked clean but our socks got really dirty after walking around on them. It wasn't a big deal but they could have been cleaned with a wet swiffer or something. Linens and all were really clean but there were some big stains on the mattress that you could see through the sheet. Again, it was no big deal to us since the sheets were clean, but a mattress cover would be a good idea to cover that up so that you don't have to see it and to protect the mattress from future accidents. There was a couple of bobby pins that were left in the shower from previous guests. The shower also had some big cracks which you may want to fix so that water doesn't get behind the tiles and cause damage. Everything else was perfect! These were minor issues that wasn't a really big deal to us. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend to family and friends. We would love to come back!

thank you for the feedback, Nicki. We've professionally cleaned the mattress and put a mattress cover on it. Appreciate the feedback ont he shower. That unit is so popular we finally had 3 days to go in and repair it.
Chris C.
The place was just amazing. So clean, so luxurious, so roomy. The cabin was available early. We met up with another couple staying there around 11pm. we drove down to meet them at McDonalds, and on our way back up the security officer followed us to the cabin to make sure that we knew who was following us. He said they monitor every car that goes in after 11 pm. That made me feel a lot more secure there. One thing about this cabin was the hot tub. We had quite the challenge getting the all jets to work. We never did get the hot tub to work properly, but we also did not call to get it fixed. They would have made sure it was fixed. Stay with Elk Springs Resort, you won't be disappointed. I will be back!!!

"Horrible experience"
what an incredibly bad experience. The cabin would get to 80+ degrees during the day...the air conditioning could not keep up. it was miserable at night. we called 3 times....finally on the 3rd day someone shows up at 10pm (we were in bed) to look at the system....90 minutes later all he really did was change the filter in the system and said he didnt know what else to do. we called and emailed again later with no response. DO NOT STAY AT THIS CABIN OR ANY OTHER MANAGED BY ELK SPRINGS!!!!

"Secret Garden Feb. 25-28, 2010"
The cabin had issues with hot water. Especially the first two nights. Within 5 minutes of taking a shower, water was cold. The last night we had about 10 minutes of hot water, but still was not up to par. I recommend updating the hot water system to a new style "instant on" system. Why have such a nice shower, but not equip it with right system? A lot of customers pay good money for this cabin because of this amenity (18 ft shower). I stayed at A Desire Fulfilled last year and had zero issues with hot water, and I do believe it has the instant on system.
Response from the , Elk Springs Resort - 03/03/2010
we've added an additional 80 gallon hot water heater to this unit over the weekend. We apologize for the inconvenience and this should never happen again at this cabin. the other similar units do have an instant hot tankless system with unlimited hot water.

"Joyce R.'s review of Secret Garden"
We loved spending time at Secret Gardens. We were very impressed by the cabin. It was spacious, beautiful and clean. We loved being away from all the traffic and being only minutes from downtown Gatalinburg. This was our 34th anniversary and my husband's first time at Gatalinburg and my second (I was 16 the first time). We were just minutes from the national park and enjoyed being able to go hiking up the mountain to see Laurel Falls. We also enjoyed downtown Gatalinburg. We hadn't played pool in a long time and enjoyed the pool table. The cabin was perfect!! We would highly recommend anyone to experience what we did and plan on taking our family back soon.
Johnathon W.
"Very Nice Place!"
This place was lovely, perfectly set in an idyllic mountain scene. The fireplaces, pool table, hot tub, decorations and kitchen are top notch and beautiful. We loved it.
Our one complaint is that the in-room heart-shaped jacuzzi is unusable. You could get maybe 3 inches of hot water and then that was it. We called maintenance & they told us it just had a 40 gallon water heater, and that was it. I just have a hard time knowing why they've not fixed that or gotten more complaints. Also, one person can barely get a shower longer than 10 minutes before the water runs cold. So the huge tower shower was useless as well.
Other than that, we loved it.

"Disappointing Stay at Elk Springs Resort"
When we arrived at the 3 bedroom cabin it had been broken into so we moved to a 2 bedroom cabin. The maintenance guy moved us to the 2 bedroom cabin and said that the property manager would refund the difference. Once the property manager finally contacted us he was VERY RUDE and told us he was not going to refund the difference. He stated that we should have waited out the time for the window to be replaced, the TV's replaced as well as waited on all of the glass being cleaned up. What a joke! The property was graveled and muddy. There were pot holes everywhere. We were so disappointed the way the property manager Andy ran the so called "Resort." We would never recommend this property to anyone...this is not the honest way of treating your customers!
Response from the , Elk Springs Resort - 12/25/2009
Katherine, we have an obligation to our other customers. We are not going to sacrifice service to our other customers for someone only searching for a discount. The original cabin you requested to stay in would have been ready in 20 minutes after your arrival as promised when you arrived early. To accomodate you, we drove you around the property for 1 hour looking at several different units until you chose a 2 bedroom unit, even though you had the option of going back into the original unit you booked. Furthermore, at check out we realized that the guest who met you at the cabin brought 3 dogs with them even though your reservation was originally not for a pet friendly cabin. We spent an extra 2 hours cleaning the cabin removing excessive pet hair. Unfortunately we did have a problem with existing unit and while it was a major job to get ready, we would have had it ready prior to you check in time. In all fairness, when you arrived early we tried extremely hard to keep you happy.

"Couple's Retreat"
Secret Garden was wonderful! The amenities were great and it had everything we needed for our stay. We loved the coziness of the cabin and it was very welcoming as soon as we walked in the door. The place was unbelievably clean. We felt extremely safe. The cabins fairly close (40yds) but we never heard or saw anyone really. Loved the jacuzzi and the fireplaces. We had an amazing time and will definitely be back. Now on to the "room for improvement" part. You will have to back out of the driveway, not that difficult but may be for some. Drive is gravel, I assume for safety reasons during iced roads. Cabin is cozy, but furniture downstairs is too close together. It says it sleeps 6, but we believed more than 2 adults would be crowded. The shower was great!, but the bathtub was lacking. There was only one hot-water heater, and therefore not enough hot water to fill the entire bathtub. Watch your step getting into the cabin on icy days, as the ramp leading to the door gets slippery. I am sure that all sounds like a lot of bad for me giving it 5 stars, but those are all small things when compared to the overall experience in the cabin. The only thing that was really disappointing was not being able to enjoy the bathtub. Again... amazing cabin and place, but there is some minor room for improvement.

"Just about perfect!"
The "Secret Garden" cabin was just about perfect for myself, my wife, my daughter, and my parents. The 5 of us had a great time in the cabin. I just can't say enough about the convenience (location, fully supplied kitchen, gas fireplaces, gas grill), the entertainment (TVs, DVD Players, pool table, foosball table, hot tub), and the overall condition of the cabin. Not to mention, the 18 foot rain shower that couldn't be beat.
The cabin made a great "basecamp" whether you were hitting the National Park, downtown Gatlinburg, or Pidgeon Forge. The location is convenient, yet away from the crowd. It was also nice to be close to the Arts and Crafts District, which we really enjoyed.
I can't envision my family staying anywhere else when we come back to the area. ...And we will.

We had the priviledge of celebrating our 28th anniversary here with friends. The cabin was fabulous. It is everything the website claims it is and more.

"It was an ok stay"
We stayed here for our honey moon. When we arrived we had issues checking in. Once we finially talked to the manager to hours later he said he was refund a nights stay. which he did but it wasnt for the full amount. Well once we got into the cabin we found that the light in the master bathroom didnt work. Then found the jacuzzi tub in the room also didnt work. So we contacted the manager the next day. Seven days days later when we where leaving it still wasnt fixed. Then we found the day we were leaving that the frame of the bed was broke as well. Over all the cabin was nice. This is the only real private cabin on the property. There are really no views from any of the cabins.

"The best getaway my husband and i has had up to date."
For everyone looking for a nice spot to always go vacationing to THIS IS IT!! My husband and i enjoyed the Secret Garden it's the perfect place for anniversary's and honeymoons or if you just want to get away from the city life. Also everything you would need to enjoy your vacation outside of your cabin is just literally a few miles away! The Ripley's Aquarium is a must see and just fine dinning everywhere. We are now planning to rent one of the family cabins. I would like for my family to experience it too. Isn't that something, not only do they have smaller cabins but cabins that sleeps up to 15 people. So as you can tell we're coming back and probably vacation here at least once a year after that. Thank you for the home away from home. See you soon!!

"Perfect Romantic Getaway"
Our stay at 'Secret Garden' was wonderful! They called us Thursday morning and gave us our code to get in and even said we could check in earlier if we wanted too. The driveway is not paved yet and is a bit narrow and hard to turn around in, but the cabin was awesome. This would make a perfect 'Honeymoon Retreat'! The bedroom has to be the most romantic of any we have ever stayed in. We only ventured out twice in our 3 day stay. It was a much needed vacation for the 2 of us and we hated to leave, but came home with some wonderful memories. This is our second visit to Elk Springs in the past 6 months (the first time we stayed at 'Mountain Magic'). We will definitely be back in a few months and bring our family and plan to stay at 'Buck Wild'.

"Very nice cabin for a single couple!!!"
The layout of this cabin is really nice for a single couple and this cabin is more secluded than the others. I wouldnt recommend this cabin to a family with children or an infant. The pull out couch is upstairs and the rooms are downstairs so my children were too scared to stay upstairs by themselves so they had to sleep in the bed with us. Not very comfortable. LOL!! Also, I would recommend putting a phonebook and telephone for local use in all the cabins. There is no cell phone signal in the mountains.

"Just a couple of issues...."
We loved the cabin and would definitly come back again, however we would know now to request a cabin that has a paved road leading to it. Not only was our road not paved but it was next to impossible to turn a car around so we actually had to back down the road our cabin was on. Other than those couple of issues the cabin experience was great and we will be back soon hopefully.

Overall, the stay was good but there were a few problems. First, the property was somewhat a mess. There were beer cans down in the woods and around the house, and lots of construction going on. On the second day our hot water heater was broken to where we couldn't take a shower or use the heart-shaped bathtub, a pretty big disappointment.
Andrew L.
"Andrew L.'s review of Secret Garden"
The cabin was beautiful however we did not have enough "hot water" to use the jacuzzi in the bedroom or to use the rain shower. We repeatedly called and asked for the problem to be corrected and it was not. The staff was not very helpfull nor did they seem concerned with our problem. It is a shame because it ruined part of our honeymoon and will keep us from recommended the resort to our family and friends.
Michael H.
It was a great cabin, a great location, and generally perfect in every way. Our only complaint is that we had a hard time keeping the cabin warm enough because it was in the teens when we stayed around Christmastime. We also ran out of hot water in the shower very quickly. But both of those issues were due to the extreme cold outside. Aside from that, we loved it and would love to go back.
Alyssa L.
"Alyssa L.'s review of Secret Garden"
The cabin was absolutely wonderful. It was just as expected. We had a little trouble finding it since there is no sign at the entrance to the driveway and you're not sure you are at the correct cabin until you drive all the way up to it and see the sign on the cabin itself. At night it would be very hard to find.
The driveway needs gravel or to be paved. It rained the whole time we were there and the driveway was a mudhole and had ruts in it from runoff. There is no turnaround space for leaving the cabin. We had to back out which was difficult especially at night with no lights.
When it came time to checkout we were instructed to call the office number and inform them of our departure. I called the number and was connected to an individual's cell phone. His voicemail just stated his name and to leave a message. I thought it was a mistake since he gave no indication he was with Elk Springs Resort. Also, his mailbox was full and I was unable to leave a message. I eventually got a hold of the office after multiple tries and she informed me that was her manager's cell phone. They need to have a better system in place for checkout or have phones forwarded to a live person or a voicemail system that allows enough space for multiple messages.

Cardinals running back Beanie Wells doesn't think he'll be calling Arizona home next season. He believes he'll end up playing for one of the other 31 NFL teams.
"That's my mind-set," Wells said, a day after he was benched following a fumble that was recovered and returned for a touchdown in Arizona's 28-13 loss to the Chicago Bears. "I'm just going to go out there and put my best foot forward for all the 31 other teams that's watching."
Asked to confirm if he felt his days were numbered with the Cardinals, Wells replied:
"Oh, without a doubt. It's inevitable."
Wells won't be able to command a lot of money in the open market because of how injury prone he's been over the course of his career. But there's no doubt that when he's healthy, he's a very good running back.

Redevelopment Activities Foster Intergovernmental Cooperation
Brownfields redevelopment is a cause that has pushed cities and counties to forge new bonds with other local governments, state departments, and federal agencies that they may never have considered before. Collaborative work allows cities to reap more than they have sown in human resources, financial aid, and technical assistance and holds promise for long-term regional approaches to policy implementation and problem solving.
Interagency and intergovernmental collaboration often present real and perceived problems. One challenge is the factor of fiscal agency: Who holds the grants or federal monies, and who decides how they are appropriated? Also, developing collaborative relationships requires time-intensive nurturing and careful communications at the beginning, before any results of the collaboration have been realized. In today's work culture of quick returns and immediate products, it is difficult to rationalize time spent on partnerships that may not show tangible results for years. Other potential problems with collaborations include differences in perceptions about the nature of the problems, or in opinions about whose resources should be used to address them.
Often, the only thing blocking two governments' working together is their lack of history of cooperation. Sometimes, this obstacle is accompanied by events or conditions that further distance governments from each other, such as competition for the same economic activities. Another potential challenge to forming partnerships arises when one entity has the authority to enact policies that the other is obliged to implement, as seen in a state's jurisdiction over a county or a county's over a city. Nonetheless, cities and counties are working to overcome these problems and are developing relationships that will carry them forward to other projects.
Kansas City--Kansas and Missouri
Kansas City's brownfields redevelopment is an example of amazing intergovernmental coordination. The project involves seven federal agencies, environmental agencies from two states, and various local government agencies from two counties and two cities. Kansas City, Kansas, and Kansas City, Missouri, manage to participate jointly in the brownfields program by taking advantage of their own and each other's strengths and resources, The program is administered through the Missouri city offices and relies on these staff members to do the majority of the work.
Kansas City, Missouri, has five times the population of its Kansas counterpart, as well as more resources to address brownfields issues. Also, Kansas City, Missouri, has been working in brownfields issues longer than the Kansas office. Kansas City, Kansas, sees its role as that of student to the Missouri office, learning everything it can about redevelopment strategies and economic activity. The Kansas office, however, offers several resources to the Missouri office. Kansas City, Kansas, has six Housing and Urban Development (HUD) professionals in its office and more expenence in applying for and receiving HUD and other monies from federal agencies for specific projects.
The cities have formed resolutions for a few projects and can see the potential for more initiatives. The biggest project has been a bi-state cultural tax that financed the redevelopment of Union Station, a historic train terminal in Kansas City, Missouri. Citizens from 11 regional counties in both states had to approve a tax to finance the work. The cities are also coordinating work on a series of trails that pass through historic and industrial areas.
Staffs are looking toward larger joint projects. One possible partnership may emerge to develop a site that exists on one side of the state border but for which the partner city has valuable resources, such as its workforce, to help in the redevelopment. In this case, both cities can participate in the incentives for redevelopment. These cities may also work together to clean areas that fall in both cities. …

Hard Rock Cafe is coming to the Mall of America
After a three year break, Hard Rock Cafe is returning to Minnesota -- and this time it's headed for the Mall of America.
The Orlando-based franchise recently posted listings on its corporate website for general manager, restaurant operations manager, kitchen manager, and sales manager positions at the Mall of America location set to open in Summer 2014. Though its exact location within the Mall of America has yet to be revealed, the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal reported that, "A source said it will wrap around part of the the mall's Nickelodeon Universe amusement park."

Hard Rock Cafe's last Minnesota location was in Minneapolis' Block E, which was also home to Applebee's, GameStop, Hooters, and Borders before the retail space was bought by Alatus, who initially planned to build a casino in the space. When Hard Rock's Block E location finally closed in September, 2011, the company's PR rep told that Star Tribune that, "We have run a successful business in Minneapolis, but the current site has created challenges that prevent us from continuing to operate at this location."
Plans for the $200 million casino were never actualized. This week, it was announced that Block E's owners partnered with the Mayo Clinic and the Minnesota Timberwolves to transform the space into a sports medicine clinic and practice facility for the Timberwolves and Lynx.

So it's that time of the year again. Everyone is trying to figure out a way to make themselves better people by making their New Year's resolutions. Everyone has one. It's a tradition that most people choose to follow.
Personally, I think it's a bunch of hogwash. How long do people actually carry out their resolutions? I mean, seriously, who follows through with their resolutions, and how long are they actually successful in carrying them out?
My New Year's resolution for this year is to not have a New Year's resolution this year, and I plan on carrying it out for the entire year.
For those of you out there who actually do keep your resolutions, kudos to you. It's very impressive to set a goal and be able to hold it out for the entire year.
For those of you out there who don't, you're not alone.
With that, I have the six most common New Year's resolutions that do not last for very long.
1. Work Out More
Is there a more common New Year's resolution than saying you're going to get your butt in the gym more often? Not only is it unoriginal and uncreative, it does not last. At all. In my personal experience, my resolution last year was to go to the gym more often. I even bought a gym pass to my local spot. Ask me how many times I went. Go ahead, ask me. ZERO. I did not go once. Furthermore, my brother who is somewhat of a gym rat has told me that gym trainers always make fun of the fact that the first week after the new year is always the busiest, yet slowly but surely, the crowd seems to thin out and only the regulars are left. Surprised? Not me.
2. Eat Healthier
Yeah, right. How many of you out there have gone to a fast food place or a late night grub spot after you leave your New Year's celebration? My point exactly.
3. Spend Less Time on Facebook
This is probably the easiest resolution to implement. Facebook is the black hole of the Internet: once you get sucked it, good luck getting out. It's just so easy to access nowadays with smart phones and more and more people spending lots of time at a computer. My advice for those of you who want to spend less time on Facebook – don't update your Facebook status when the ball drops to say "Happy New Year!"
4. Quit Smoking
I truly wish the most success for you if you are trying to quit smoking for the New Year. You will be healthier, smell better, and have better looking teeth. Smoking cigarettes is an addiction and that is well documented. Something tells me that when a big crystal ball drops in New York City, it will not make it easier to quit smoking. The clock striking midnight and a year changing numbers is not some magical, mystical moment that will rid you from an addiction, but hey, best of luck to you.
5. Drink Less
Could there be a worse time to set a goal of drinking less on the second biggest bar night of the year?
6. Manage Stress Better
This is a good one in my book. Everyone wants to live as stress free as possible. But isn't managing stress a stressful process in itself? If you're stressed out, and you know that you're stressed out, trying to manage that stress will probably leave you even more stressed out if anything! Let's say you know that you want to manage your stress better but cannot figure out a way to do it, that's going to be even more stress on your plate! Don't bother.
Have you had any short-lived New Year's resolutions? Comment away!

Washington will host two Ivy League rowing programs when Dartmouth and Cornell compete at the Windermere Cup on May 4.
Washington will host two Ivy League rowing programs when Dartmouth and Cornell compete at the Windermere Cup on May 4.
The free regatta on the Montlake Cut, held annually on opening day of boating season, is scheduled to start at 10 a.m. In 2012, the Huskies swept all four races for the second consecutive year. The Windermere Cup dates to 1987.
Traditionally, the event has featured one domestic and one international crew, but Washington lured Dartmouth and Cornell to Seattle because the two schools were scheduled for a dual race on Windermere weekend.
"We're really excited to have two storied programs coming to race us," UW men's coach Michael Callahan said in news release.
- Seattle fifth-graders will get their camp trip, but teachers refuse to go
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies

Said Bob Ernst, UW women's coach and rowing director, "It's been our quest the last few years to get good Ivy League competition to come out, so to have two of their best come on the same year is really going to make this event special."
Another twist in the format has Washington's men and women competing against the same universities. Generally, the men and women face crews from different schools.
"It's unique this year having both programs come here to race," said Callahan. "Hopefully we will be able to continue to do this."
The Dartmouth men's heavyweight crew is coached by Topher Bordeau, an Ivy League graduate who won three IRA titles as an oarsman at Princeton. Bordeau has experience coaching on the national team level, assisting with the selection and training of the 2007 Under-23 squad. Wendy Lavash, another former Princeton rower, is at the helm of the Dartmouth women's crew program. Lavash has mentored several standout rowers that have gone on to compete for the U-23 National Team.
Cornell men's crew is coming off a strong 2012, finishing fifth in the IRA championships. The Husky men won the IRAs for the second straight year, and swept every race.
Dozens of local, national and international junior and masters crews will compete in races before the main event.

Actress Soha Ali Khan, who has featured in films like "Rang De Basanti", "Khoya Khoya Chand" and "Soundtrack", will now be seen in a comical movie, "War Chhod Na Yaar". She says the genre is lighter and also great fun.
"I am doing comedy for the first time and it has been great fun. I have done films where to get into a role, you have to bring back all these depressing memories before a shot. Comedy is much lighter, you can improvise, you can have fun, and you can let yourself go," Soha said in a statement.
"War Chodd Na Yaar", a war comedy, is director Farz Haider's maiden venture. Soha plays a war reporter in the film.
"I really liked the subject and that's why I said yes to Faraz. It was one of the best scripts I have ever read. We all want wars to stop and the most influential medium in India is films. Movies inspire us.
"Faraz has written a script through which he aims to change our mindset and show us what we can do to stop wars," she added.
The movie also features Sharman Joshi and Javed Jaffrey.

If you drop $100,000 on a luxury sedan, it seems only reasonable to receive some preferential treatment at the dealership you purchased from. After all, that price isn't just for the car – you're paying for the brand and all the cachet that entails. For Mercedes-Benz, those benefits have apparently been lacking relative to the German brand's luxury competitors.
