The staff was unbelievably kind in nature , every time we had a question or needed something there was quick response. We look forward to another trip.
I stayed in the hotel style rooms. I liked I could walk to the food venue and food hall.

The property was basic, but had great views of the smokies. Our room had plumbing issues the toilet was slow to flush and the tub wouldn’t drain while showering we had to stand in a tub of water.
Beautiful property. Lots of activities for the family. Tons of hiking with many trail heads within walking distance. Very friendly staff. Great room.

The property is great. The landscaping and flowers are beautiful. The people here are very friendly and nice. We are up and going and getting ready for our clogging competition!!!! Wish us LUCK!!!! Thanks for helping us get a better rate on our stay!!!!
It was an amazing resort that my family stumbled into. So many amenities that we stayed an extra day. Our room in the lodge was clean and super comfortable.
Walls were VERY thin. Could hear the guests in the adjoining rooms. Rooms were clean. WiFi was OK.

Grounds are beautiful. Buildings are taken care off but in need of remodeling as they are aged. Plenty of parking for truck and trailer. Housekeeping is not every other day as stated. It is nonexistent. The app they use for tv is horrible. Glitches frequently, kicking you out of what you are watching. It signs you out and you have to submit a ticket for a tech to come out and enter a password.
Good place to visit; good food and beverage options, comfortable rooms. Really too bad that people like me from Knoxville have to drive "The Dragon" both going there and coming back.
Do not stay in the Garden Villas. They are beyond outdated, smell, in poor condition, WiFi is spotty, tv barely worked, AC was beyond loud. Donna at check in was super nice and helpful! Only stay in the main lodge, that’s where the pictures are from.
This is a yearly family trip but first time staying here. It is a great location and beautiful resort. Very family and pet friendly with opportunities for daily activities. We are renting a boat today at the marina across the street. We will definitely book again for
Next year. Our room is second floor at the lodge.
Very nice location, quiet and secluded, but it did need a little more cleaning but bring some extra snacks as you are limited to their restaurants and their is no other options for 20 miles.
The most accommodating staff I’ve experienced in years!

The village is nice, we came in after dark so have not seen the full area. There is a lot of renovation going on so looking forward to exploring during the day. People working this location are excellent, professional and helpful!
