Noisey
The room was very nice but it was very noisy. I could hear the people upstairs everytime they walked across the room. I could hear the neighbors right next to me. It was not a very restful night.

Retreat from this retreat
If no time was made clear that the retreat was actually the real house for wayward youth. The day before my stay, I received a phone call where I had to provide credit card, and it was then explained to me that there was no alcohol allowed (which was fine) but there was also a curfew noise after 10 PM to 8 AM on the back of the brochure in the room, there was a long list of the cost of items if they disappeared from the room. And the breakfast was really just breakfast snack bar granola food. I submitted a review about this place today after we got there and the next morning I was confronted about that review since we were the only guests there. Upon returning from dinner, the parking space closest to the room was blocked by the managers, large truck , which, for all the Christian overtones does apparently apply to consideration for others. Then we were told to park it off on a hill. Overall, it’s a nice place, but not a place for a couple to go for romantic time. Be aware that it is actually a retreat and not really a hotel. It is priced as a hotel price.

The property is absolutely beautiful and sits right on the lake. Our room overlooked the lake and mountain range, which made the quiet, quaint experience so much better. The grounds had lots of places to play, fish and sit in peace. We would stay here again if ever back in the area.

The pool was one of the reasons I booked the retreat. When we got there it was closed and said maybe ready the next day. It was opened the next day but still green and nasty. You would think July 4 th weekend the pool would be ready for guests. On a lighter note, the room was perfect just wish it had been on the lake side.

Nice quiet stay.
We really enjoyed the quiet relaxing nature of the retreat. Our room nicely decorated. Nice to have a small kitchen area. Balcony overlooking the lake was nice! Only downside to our stay was the bathroom had one switch that turned on vanity lights and vent over toilet which sounded like a jet plane! Would b nice when workout the vanity not to hear all that racket the whole time.

The view is simply spectacular. This is a great option for a work traveler such as myself who wants to buy and cook food for extended stay. The walking trails are lovely and the craft center is just minutes away. I will return here! If you want more eating options, it may be worth considering driving to Cookeville but if you want to be more local-this is the best place!

Beautiful, quite, family friendly property. Staff were more than amazing. If you are in the area and would like a nice place to stay with your dog or family then this is it! They even have a boat dock so you can keep your boat in the water overnight. For those of you who have kids, this is a very hilly property. I found myself going up and down the steep embankments several times instead of going the long way around using the road. It was a good workout. LOL The place could use some maintenance however. I saw several boards that needed replacing on the buildings along with part of the dock that needs repair. The horseshoe area also needs help. Other than some minor things, our stay was wonderful and I would recommend this place.
