    Gaylord Opryland is a fantastic resort that truly lives up to its reputation. It's an impressive…read moreproperty,essentially a mini city within a hotel, with so much to explore and enjoy during your stay. If you're booking, I highly recommend requesting the Hill Country Tower. The rooms are excellent, and the air conditioning provides perfect white noise that makes for restful, comfortable nights. In contrast, the Vineyard Tower feels dated and not as conducive to relaxation, so it's worth paying attention to tower placement when making reservations. What really sets this resort apart is the staff, restaurant options, and amenities. Throughout every corner of the property, it's evident that the team shares a strong mission and core values. The only call out I have is the pick up/drop off, there was an worker who suggested travelers that had all stayed at the resort for the week should walk with all their luggage very far to a parting lot for me to pick them up, even though there is a line dedicated to pick up/loading- he could use some training. Other than that the level of hospitality and genuine care is exceptional and noticeably different from typical hotel experiences. The combination of the expansive property, quality accommodations in the right tower, and outstanding staff service makes Gaylord Opryland an outstanding choice. Whether you're visiting for business or leisure, this resort offers an experience unlike anywhere else in the area.

I wish I had gotten her name because she deserves a shoutout. Due to my elite status with Marriott we were able to get an updated room that had a large walk in shower and nicer countertops than what come with a regular room. Our room had a great center atrium view and with a balcony it was perfect for sitting and relaxing. The room was quiet and we heard no one else even though the hotel was at capacity. The beds and pillows were comfortable and I slept great. The room was clean and the AC made no noise whatsoever. We did a scavenger hunt in the Atrium for the kid and she enjoyed it. The best part for me was sitting by the "river" below Zeppole and just listening to the water running. It is so tranquil and peaceful. It's my special place that I go to every time we stay at Gaylord. It was a rainy weekend so we did not use the indoor or outdoor pool, but they are always options. Overall, the Gaylord has come to be one of my favorite hotels in the Dallas metroplex and we will return for sure.

    This is such a unique and relaxing experience. Starting with the staff. Everyone we came in contact…read morewith was friendly and helpful. They answered all of our questions with a smile. The property is gorgeous and the sunsets are phenomenal. If you are looking to get out of the city for a while and would like a place to relax this is it. Our hotel room was comfortable and clean. The amenities are varied and fun. We took a hike which was great. The trails are well kept. We can't wait to visit again soon. Added plus was the restaurant which had a great selection and the food is fantastic!

    I want to rate the Wildcatter about a 3.7 out of 5…read more Our first visit was over New Year's weekend in 2022. That Saturday the temperature dropped about 40 degrees and the wind starting howling fiercely. Because of the weather we didn't get to participate in any outdoor activities, so I vowed we would make a return visit. Thanksgiving week of 2025, we got to bring our daughter, son-in-law and two grandsons for a return visit to Wildcatter. I knew the ranch had been bought by a young couple about a year previously who wanted to upgrade some of the tired aspects of the ranch, so we were excited to explore all the offerings and see what had changed. The Wildcatter Ranch is set on a hill with beautiful views. There is plenty to explore so it is perfect for boys who revel in the outdoors. There is a fishing hole, there are horses in the stable to ride, there is basketball, tetherball, hiking, a pool and hot tub, and there are longhorns to feed each morning. These are all great activities we partook in. They supply guests with fishing poles, basketballs and towels for the pool. My disappointment? On both trips to the ranch, in all 3 cabins, the fireplaces did not seem to be working. (this is 3 cabins of about 12!) The hot tub that they told us we could use? Not working. The 'pony' ride for my grandson who is under 10, the age required for horse rides, that was advertised for 30 minutes? It was a 15 minute guided walk around a field on a horse. The 'hour' trail ride lasted 50 minutes. The session to 'learn grooming and care for a horse'? All three of us were literally handed brushes, told how to walk around the back of a horse, then left standing next to one horse to brush. The optional activities were a bit short on what was advertised, though both boys said their time with the horses was their favorite part of the visit. The steakhouse prices had gone up quite a bit since 2022. We can highly recommend the biscuits, however. They are heavenly.

    Today is July 24, 2025…read more I stayed here 2 nights recently. Monday-Wednesday morning. Took my 6 year old and we enjoyed the waterpark and overall it was fun for him. BUT upon initially going into our cabin (#3) I noticed a musty mildew type smell. I thought it was probably from the age on the place and it seemed clean so I wasn't too worried about it. Fast forward to Tuesday afternoon and I started scratching at what I thought was a mosquito bite on my jawline. Later that evening I noticed several more bites that I thought were mosquitos but I had not seen a single mosquito in the several days we had been in Wichita Falls... odd! Wednesday morning I had more bites, all slowly swelling and getting redder and itchier and I spotted the culprit. A BED BUG! We were having fun and considered extending our stay but after that I quickly packed and could not get out of there fast enough. It's now Thursday night and I have at least 21 nasty itchy bites on me, slowly swelling, getting redder and larger every day and I'm googling bed bugs. They are on my hand, face, arms, back, neck and shoulders. I still have new ones showing up and they may not all show up for 14 days! I told the young woman at the front desk when I checked out and she did not seem all that concerned about it. I wrote a message through the website's portal and have not received a response. I am writing this review with hopes that someone takes this seriously and does something about this. The musty smell I was smelling is typical of a bed bug INFESTATION! Wish I had known that 4 days ago! My 6 year old has a small red spot on his face and I am overwhelmed with concern that he has bites that may not react and/or show up for another 2 weeks! This place needs a serious treatment from a professional pesticide applicator and all of the bedding, mattresses, box springs, furniture probably needs to be burned! DO NOT STAY IN CABIN #3 OR ANY OF THE CABINS CONNECTED TO IT! CHECK FOR BED BUGS! If you smell musty/mildew turn around and leave! My boy had so much fun but I am so disappointed! No way we should have ever been allowed to go in that cabin! I hope no one else does either!
