Hidden Springs Resort

We just stayed here 6/7 - 6/14 in a cabin called All Ya Need. The cabin was gorgeous and very clean! The whole area was beautiful. We have been through Cades Cove several times and we have never seen a bear. Our first morning here we saw 2 bears. The owner is super friendly and answers questions very quickly. I can't wait to start planning our next trip and we plan on staying here again!

Hidden Springs Resort – Honest Family Stay Review We stayed here for 6 days with a family of nine. Check-in was quick, and we appreciated the gated entrance for added security. The resort overall looked nice, and if you get a cabin with a view, it’s absolutely stunning. Ours didn’t have much of a view, but that wasn’t a big deal. The main issue was cleanliness. The cabin wasn’t fully ready: no towels, dirty dishes still in the dishwasher, and the hot tub was slimy and green — clearly not cleaned in a while. One of our family members used it before we realized. The windows were also noticeably dirty, along with other small signs the cabin hadn’t been properly cleaned. To their credit, once we contacted them, they brought towels quickly and sent someone to drain and refill the hot tub — though it didn’t get a proper cleaning. The cabin itself was spacious and well-stocked with a full kitchen, Blackstone grill, washer/dryer, pool table, arcade machine, and a home theater setup (though the theater seats were extremely uncomfortable — a couch would’ve made more sense). The private hot tub and outdoor seating were nice touches once cleaned. Beds were just okay — not the most comfortable, but they worked. For $1,500, we expected a little more refinement, especially when compared to a nearby condo we stayed at that was spotless and included a lazy river for less money. Important heads-up: If you’re traveling with toddlers or small kids, be aware that some cabins have steep, open staircases. Our 3-year-old nearly tumbled down one. Not necessarily the resort’s fault, but definitely something to plan for. Also worth noting: Some of the features listed on the website were missing — like the dartboard. We were excited to use it as a family but found it had been removed, even though it was still advertised. Final thoughts: The stay was decent and the cabin had potential. But for the price, we expected better cleanliness and accurate listings. If you're considering staying here, do your homework and read recent reviews before booking.

Loved our cabin and the resort. It was so quiet, relaxing and the scenery was amazing
