The bed was very comfortable and the tent was larger than we expected. The tent was equipped with some small fans that worked well to circulate air. We did not use the fireplace, but it seems easy to build a fire. The restaurant had some issues while we were there, but the staff improvised and created a small menu for guests.

The crew and staff were undo amazing super friendly always keeping you on your toes to go do something and explore the wilderness. The forest was beautiful, walking looking for salamanders and crawfish and super quiet with the birds chirping in the air. the tent was amazing hardwood floors, clean bathrooms. The bed was super soft and the view under the stars was the best.

Under Canvas is an amazing experience for friends and family. The tents are very clean and the beds are very comfortable. We enjoyed the great outdoors and the food in the reception tent was yummy. Also, the entertainment around the campfire was great!

Glamping Is Great!

This is a wonderful experience and the crew here is absolutely amazing. One thing to keep in mind; you can hear what happens in the tents around you. Not a big deal, as most folks are aware and are courteous but we happened to land next door to the rudest, most inconsiderate family who allowed their twin toddlers to run amok in the main camp tent and to scream their heads off all night long while we were asleep. This happened repeatedly thru the night; my husband eventually walked down to the office after 1 am to let someone know. The staff here was very courteous, understood our frustration, moved us to a tent farther away and handled the situation perfectly. I know we were not the only guests that were disturbed by this family. The area is beautiful, the location of the facility is set in the prettiest of places, there is ample opportunity to just enjoy nature and the tents are amazing! You can't go wrong here! Just be sure if you are retired to know that there are a lot of families here; 99% of them are polite but you never know when you will run across the ones that refuse to make their kids behave. Food is outstanding and you are very close to Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and of course, the National Park. The staff will make you feel like you are the only campers...absolutely fabulous group of staffers here!

Love the Great Outdoors!

My childhood best friend and I met here for a long overdue reunion! We went hiking, roasted marshmallows and talked for hours! It was the perfect trip. We loved this resort. Very beautiful and serene. Just perfect for a mix of exercise and relaxation with lots of healthy options for meals and exercise! The offer Yoga and that was wonderful after a long hike in the beautiful Smokey Mountains.
