We were very impressed with this resort. The people are very friendly and helpful. The accomodations are luxurious. There is such a variety of things to do - activities at the resort for all ages, the Smokies, shows, shopping, or just relaxing on the balcony with a cup of coffee enjoying the gorgeous scenery. It is an 8 hour drive from home which makes travel convenient - no flying, motels, etc. just to get there
