Wonderful place for our entire to stay. Plenty of bedrooms each with its own bathroom! Some rooms were perfect for the families with kids. One door lock was broken when we got there. It was concerning to not be able to lock it the first night. But they came first thing in the morning to replace it!

Good space for large groups

Overall the stay was really good. We had a couple drawers and handles that were broke or falling off. No towel hooks by the hot tubs. And it would have been nice to have some extra towels for the hot tub. Our dryer would not heat so that made washing towels impossible. And the turnaround time to get it fixed was a little long. The kitchen also needed cookie sheets.

We really enjoyed this trip and had a great time. We had 21 people in our group. In my opinion it would be tough to fit more people than that. Over all everything was very good.

Perfect location for Rocky Top Sports World

We were in town with our Lady Tigers Soccer Team for a tournament. It was an amazing property and it met all of our needs. Plenty of room for the team, lots of areas for the girls to bond and hang out, and enough room for them to all eat together! It was also right around the corner from the soccer complex. I highly recommend this property!

The perfect mountain getaway

This property was perfect for our large group. Having the dual dishwashers/ fridges/ ovens made cooking and food preparation easy! The kids enjoyed the downstairs games and the bunk rooms. The cabin and hot tubs were clean when we arrived and check in / check out was easy through the portal. The only advice we have for people going up is to bring your own oven mitts — there wasn’t any there.
