After reading other negative reviews I know they will do reputation management & spin it. They…read moreflat out lied on several times. BUT DECIDE FOR YOURSELF! Vendors- we used preferred vendors & all were professional, easy to deal with, & provided a great service for a fair price. No complaints. Leeric Staff-Dealing w/the owner & wedding coordinator before/after the event was a horrible experience & stressful. We chose the "Stress Free/Weekender" package as we live 10 hours from the lodge. The owner was not transparent & didn't properly describe what was included. Ex. the package stated "heavy weighted dinnerware" but what we got was gold colored plastic utensils & plastic plates. I'd expect metal utensils & porcelain plates in the highest tier package. The plastic knives made it hard to cut steaks. If I wanted different dinnerware I could request it from the caterer for an cost extra. After the contract was signed and five months prior to the wedding the coordinator said there's an $80+ charge/night/person staying in the lodge. Then 3 days before the wedding the coordinator stated the wedding party only stays in the lodge Friday night & only the bride/groom stay @ the lodge Saturday night. The wedding party would need to book hotel rooms last minute. This wasn't what was discussed or stated in our package. Our documentation confirmed what we thought. We paid extra for the DJ to play the ceremony music & cocktail hour. The venue staff was supplied w/ a list of ceremony music details. There was miscommunication btw the venue staff & DJ as the DJ played THE WRONG SONG for the walk down the aisle. My daughter had no clue what song was playing or when to start walking. She was embarrassed when the music stopped 1/2 way down the aisle & finished her walk in silence. That's a big mistake! The day of coordinator showed up 90 minutes late on the day of the wedding. After we finished the rehearsal the coordinator told the wedding party she'd be there @ 11:30am the next day. Multiple people we were looking for her @ 11:30. The father of the bride & father of the groom were waiting for her since they had to decorate the arch & the coordinator had the arch drapery. She showed up at 1:00 & the father daughter first look was at 2:00. So he had to rush to complete the arch, get a shower, & get dressed Since they don't provide a cake knife for the couple to cut the cake (although the package included a cake) we provided our own silver cake knife. After the wedding we noticed we didn't get the knife back. We reached out to the owner& she stated they didn't have it. She blamed the caterer but the caterer didn't even use it. 5 weeks after the wedding they let us know that they found it @ the venue. To return it we could pay $75 for them to mail it to us or we could buy a box & mail it to the Leeric w/a prepaid shipping label & they'd mail it back. They said it was our responsibility to take the knife home w/ us. But if it took them 5 weeks to find it @ their own venue how could we have seen it @ the end of the night? The knife was clearly misplaced by the venue staff & the right thing would have been to mail it back to us. They showed their lack of customer service again by sticking to the 2 return options. Luckily the caterer picked it up & mail it to me @ no cost. Now that's customer service! Payment- would be nice if payment could be done via check to avoid the 6% credit card fee (12% fee for security deposit). I understand the st payment being done via credit card to secure the date but after that sending a check prior to the due date should be an option. We paid over $1600 in credit card fees. Contract- the contract should be package specific as it included things that weren't applicable to our package-causing confusion. I suggest: -review contract line by line what is/isn't included & ask a lot of questions -hand tip envelopes to vendors directly -have someone in your wedding party confirm w/the DJ the ceremony songs(hear what they will play) -Record GoogleMeet calls & keep all emails

I will start by saying that this place is great! My wife and I visited recently for a weekend…read moregetaway in the off-peak winter month of February and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The initial booking interaction with the front office manager was excellent, and she went out of her way to make sure we were familiarized with the property, how to get in and out of the coded gate, and where to find our documents/keys, etc. as we were checking in late upon arrival. The cabin was beautiful, if not a tad outdated in the typical "Gatlinburg mountain-style" motif, and was settled nicely by itself without an immediate neighbor, so we felt very comfortable, secluded, and able to fully relax - the ideal weekend getaway environment! What was even better was the pricing. Our cabin was a 2 bedroom, 3 bath, fully stocked kitchen with all appliances, dishware, silverware, etc, and a living room area with 2 couches, a lounge chair, including a flat panel with tv access, and all across 2 stories. Everything was very well cleaned, the loft area was beautiful, and even had an in-room whirlpool-jetted tub. Everything they said they'd do, they did. Great service, nice location very close to the Fall Creek Falls State Park, and within 15 mins either way of the nearest town for additional options. Overall, we'd most certainly visit here again the next time we're looking for a hike along the beautiful falls nearby!

With permission of the owners/management we post... Rock…read moreHaven Lodge was the first stop on our 10-week, 10,000-mile road trip adventure to the Pacific Northwest to visit nudist resorts and attend Karins high school reunion in Idaho. It is a nudist resort, not clothing-optional. We loved the way they made posting the rules sort of fun through clever & funny signs everywhere. Everyone seemed to respect the rules. We noticed immediately how clean, quaint, and well-kept the resort was! It's obvious the residents/members there take great pride in decorating and maintaining their lots. There were "yard of the year" award plaques at many of them. One deck was shaped & decorated like an old wooden ship; others had themed frog or fairy gardens. Lots of them had decorative lights. We enjoyed nightly walks there. The owner (Suzie) was super helpful and welcoming. Everyone we met was too. That's what we love the most and have come to always appreciate about the nudist community! After arriving close to dusk and setting up our campsite, a gathering of campers nearby invited us over for steak & potatoes left over from their pitch-in. We were tired from 10 hours on the road, so we thankfully enjoyed the meal while getting to hear the fun adventures they were all on. The common areas were large & open. There were two large covered pavilions for gatherings - one had a kitchen/grill at the end that sells food on the weekends. The other doubles as a remote control car racetrack (very unique) and a dance area. Then there is a separate indoor rec hall with a big rock fireplace, a small gym, a bathhouse, and a little "country store" where you can buy ice cream, snacks, and basic toiletries. Throughout the common ground areas, a kid-sized train track winds through, probably delighting kids and adults alike when running (which it wasn't while we were there). This is a great place during the week for those who like a quieter resort visit, but we heard it gets busier on the weekends. There were lists of regular & special activities posted so you could be as social as you want to be, or not. We enjoyed the great sand volleyball courts, which included a covered area with fans, chairs, tables & a water fountain! There were pickleball, tennis, and basketball courts, and a small playground. The pool & hot tub were small but clean. The pool isn't heated but refreshing when it gets really hot. The campground where we stayed had picnic tables and electricity convenient at most sites. We tested out our new SUV tent, and it worked well. The tent attaches to the open back hatch so we sleep in the back of the SUV on a special mattress made to fit around the wheel wells. Packing for 10 weeks was quite a task, but we got it all figured out. We took a trip to the local downtown of Murfreesboro for dinner and enjoyed seeing a small town. We ate at a great local restaurant called The Alley. We are so glad we stopped here first on our trip as it was a lovely relaxing start to our summer journey.

We surprised our twin six-year-olds, who were turning seven with a little destination birthday trip. Had our cousins meet us there for a double surprise. And this might have been our best birthday/family Vacay ever! I mean, Opry the hotel is immaculate and you don't really have to ever leave once you're there. And the soundwaves waterpark is like double icing on top of the most perfect cake. Even when it rains, you can still enjoy the inside waterpark, and because it is private to only hotel guests, it never felt crowded. We never really had to wait in line for a waterslide, the two lazy rivers were never over congested, and the individual surf lessons on the surf machine might've been a family favorite. We just kept trying over and over and over again until we could do the tricks they were teaching us. Bonus: amazing instructors! Already thinking I should book for next year and do the same thing over again, it was that magical!

Positives are the adults-only areas, nice staff, and several pools and activities to choose from. Negatives - $42 for 2 small alcoholic beverages plus tip? Crazy. Those resort fees are real. The water and indoor section was very warm. I was looking for a cool off with 90 degrees outside but the indoor section was over 90 degrees inside! Some areas need to be updated, and some slides were not working so unsure if this is worth the price.
