Cadillac Ranch - Gatlinburg Cabin

Our overall stay was very nice and we enjoyed our time at the cabin. However I do have some suggestions that I think would make the next person stay better. A small dresser where the TV stand is something narrow with a lot of drawers would be nice. There’s nowhere to put clothes in the bedroom and there were not even hangers. We lived out of suitcases. The basement theater was really cool and we watched movies however the chairs are not extremely comfortable to watch a movie. There should be Ottomans or something to place your feet on. We ended up carrying a chair down from upstairs to put our feet on. No matter how much you crank the heat it’s cold in the basement so having a rack that possibly has some blankets for the movie would be nice. There’s not a single table to place a drink or popcorn but there’s tons of room. The master bathroom has not one place to lay your clothes or your towel. You should add some hooks on the back of the bathroom door to hang towels or your change of clothes so that you don’t have to place them on the toilet eek. And the description of the room online the coffee pot should be labeled as a Keurig everyone knows the difference now. Even though the temperatures on the pool read correctly it was still very cold. You should try adding a small hot tub on the outdoor deck or on the upstairs patio.

Happy we had a place to stay after our original cabin was sold and notified it was no longer on the rental program 21 days before arrival. When we arrived, Cadillac ranch was not clean, dust everywhere, windows dirty, original stickers left on windows, No broom/dust pan to keep clean, left over food in fridge/freezer, no grill, outside tv had no plug, greenish glitter sand by pool, pool was cold even though it was supposed to be heated, no trash cans in containers. Contacted resort, with photos, was told cleaning crew would be by next day and we would be notified before they arrived, to clean windows since we had already cleaned up the best we could. No one every showed up and no text advising that, our trash cans never arrived for the container. Trash we took out sat there all week. Overall served its purpose but could have been better prepared for renters arrival.

Extremely clean and very nice. No issues at all.

Check in was a breeze. 10th stay with Elk Springs and the cabin was the best. Pool was actually heated, sauna worked fantastic, and movie screen was easy to use. The bedroom was phenomenal. Just a Grade A experience all around

Overall, it was a good cabin. Great location. The furniture placement in the living areas is not a comfy space for just hanging out at the cabin. I was also a little disappointed with the cleaning. We have stayed at other cabins through Elk Springs before and they have always been spotless. However, this cabin was not spotless and really could use a deep clean.

Filthy..ants..missing tv on outdoor living area..damaged grill that would not work.. impossible to get ahold of anybody to help. Never again. Do I've stayed in many cabins in the area and cadillac ranch was the newest and worst keep looking this place is a mess

We have stayed with Elk Springs several times in several different cabins. All of them have been great. Until this one. The entire cabin felt like an afterthought. The sinks in the master bedroom did not drain properly. I was informed 30 minutes before arrival that the outdoor fireplace was not working. The outdoor area was also supposed to have a TV, per pictures and as described on the website. That wasn’t there either. The furniture was all terribly uncomfortable. The master bed was great. I decided at the time that I would give it a night and see if it was an inconvenience. I sent Elk Springs a message the following day describing my issues with the furniture and was told ...... sorry. That uncomfortable furniture wasn’t really a movable offense. I understand except, I wasn’t offered any other options. Just sorry.

Overall we were happy with the experience. Had a problem with the electronic game and a bear knocked over our trash bin but customer service sent someone out and got our game fixed and fixed our trash bin fast.

The accommodations were very nice. Excellent cabin with a fun modern design. Loved the large windows that allowed the expansive views. The private outdoor fireplace was very nice. The only major drawback was the “pool”. The pool is hidden in the basement of the cabin like a lake in a cave. While this is a great private retreat it’s hard to enjoy the chilly waters when there is no sunshine to warm you up and the air temperature is “locked” at a temperature that is appropriate for dry activities and no way to adjust the water temperature. I recognize there are challenges with evaporation/condensation etc however I rented the cabin to be able to use the pool not look at it. This was very disappointing. I’ll have to chose a cabin next year with either an outdoor pool so the sun can warm us or a hot tub that is warm enough to get into. We made the best of it and had a great time anyway.

We enjoyed our stay at Cadillac Ranch. Nice location and cabin was clean.
