Reviewer Comments:
This review is for the Moonshiner’s View cabin. The cabin is very nice, like all the Elk Springs Properties I have stayed at. It is in a great location, near the Arts and Crafts Community of Gatlinburg. It is decorated with pics of actual moonshiners, which is a nice touch. Now the bad - the parking is atrocious. I tried to park my Jeep Grand Cherokee by backing down the narrow driveway, and you have a rock wall on one side and a drop off on the other. There was very little margin for error. To make matters worse, there is a metal drain cover on the side with the drop off, and I was worried if I ran over it that I would get a flat tire. I requested another cabin and the folks at Elk Springs Lodge did a good job of finding me another cabin, and even gave me two options. But when I left, I tried to stay away from the metal drain cover and ended up scratching my alloy wheel on the rock wall, which I am going to have to pay to repair. Beware the parking at this location if you have an SUV or a truck.
