They paid special attention to every detail no matter how big or small. They definitely went above and beyond. Another daughter and her family camped there in one of the cabins for a weekend getaway and had a terrific time. The rustic cabins gave the aura of being "out in nature" but with the conveniences that made it even more enjoyable. The mountain views are breathtaking with so much to do including hiking, canoeing, kayaking, swimming and more. We will definitely be back.

Inside was quaint and attempted to be cute. There was mold outside and inside the cabin so we ended up sleeping in the car and checking out the next day. Property was beautiful and staff was friendly. Overall, some things should stay hidden.

We went to use Amex Hilton free night benefits and they were kind enough to up-grade us to the side of the facility with the better views and a balcony. The staff were very pleasant and accommodating. The pool an hot tub looked really inviting, but it was just a little too cold for me to take the dip (I regret that decision now btw). Be sure to call ahead to ask about the amenities. For example, the hotel has its own six-hole course that I think you can play for free. Had I known, I'd of brought my clubs an booked a t-time.

The staff is top notch and the rooms are well appointed. We had a room on the Terrace level where we could walk right out to the heated pool and hot tub (which we skipped, but it looked amazing)! It's very dog-friendly with walking and hiking trails, stunning golf course, fire pits, games, and other amenities, for just about any visitor. The only thing that missed the mark was the food service and quality. We went to Croft, but I expect the food quality is similar at both onsite restaurants.). Otherwise, it's a magical spot to spend any long weekend or holiday.

From the moment we arrived at our cabin (Hope Creek), we were enchanted. Turkeys and deer greeted…read moreus outside our floor-to-ceiling windows, and before we left, we even spotted a bald eagle! We were welcomed with champagne and a gorgeous cheese board as part of the couples package--a lovely touch that set the tone for our stay. The cabin had floor-to-ceiling windows that offered fantastic views of the property, and the accommodations were thoughtfully appointed with refillable water bottles at each bedside (with refilling stations around the property), luxurious robes, huge bath sheets, extra pillows and blankets, and hooks everywhere for towels and wet jackets--practical details that didn't go unnoticed. The Windy Hill signature scent (a blend of oak, bergamot, and bourbon) can be found throughout the property and is absolutely divine. Also, the playlist at the Watchhouse and Wilder is a total vibe! Now, let's talk about the food. Chef Ben is an absolute treasure. We consider ourselves somewhat snobby about food, and he and his culinary staff knocked it out of the park for every single meal. The grits and gravy with pimento at breakfast were a standout, and the fresh fruit bowl was huge, fresh, and colorful. The smash burger at lunch is one of the best we've ever had. We sampled everything on the dinner menu, and not one item was underwhelming. Our favorites included the lightly fried gulf oysters in shallot and vinegar sauce, the redfish, the pan-fried trout (those root vegetables were like a rich pot pie filling--incredible!), the crispy venison, the butterscotch budino, and the oatmeal cookie sundae. As on-site guests, we never had to choose between meal options--they let us order whatever we wanted, which meant we enjoyed all the starters, all the small plates, plus two entrees and two desserts our first night! The staff even brought us complimentary champagne to celebrate our anniversary. It rained the entire weekend, but the staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. Golf carts were always available to shuttle us to meals and activities, umbrellas were abundant, and the fire in the Watchhouse provided a cozy reprieve from the dreary weather. I had an in-room massage with Erin that was amazing, and we spent a lovely Saturday morning sitting by the fire in the Watchhouse enjoying champagne. My husband did the Five-Stand with Zach and loved exploring the farm. There are five walking trails ranging from .3 miles to over 2 miles, all accessible right from your cabin door. It's a stunning piece of property, and they have staffed it really well. As a new establishment, Windy Hill is still fine-tuning some of the smaller details. There weren't any utensils in the room, which would have been nice for any in-room dining (stirring coffee, enjoying food to-go, spreading jam and soft cheeses from the charcuterie board, etc.). There also wasn't any creamer option in the room (though the mini fridge could easily accommodate this). After the rain, outdoor chairs weren't wiped down. Would the staff have fixed these things immediately with a phone call? Absolutely. But when you're creating a luxury experience, it's those proactive touches that make guests feel truly special (and will keep them coming back!). That said, there's plenty of grace for a new property finding its rhythm, and they absolutely nail all the big things: hospitality, comfortable accommodations, incredible food and beverage, and genuinely helpful staff. And we really appreciated the built-in service fee so we didn't have to think about a thing all weekend long. Overall, we had a wonderful weekend. While the nonstop rain kept us from enjoying as many activities as we'd hoped, the delightful staff made sure our stay was comfortable despite the weather. We will absolutely be back. As Knoxville residents, we are so excited to have this gem in our backyard and can't wait to watch Windy Hill continue to grow and refine their already impressive offerings!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

It's only about a 2hr drive from where I am but there was a bit of traffic getting out of atlanta on a wed afternoon when we left so we didn't get in till dark. I called to say we might miss the office check in hours (till 6pm) so they kindly left the key in the cabin for us for whenever we arrived which was very helpful. The rooms were clean and kitchen and bathroom had pretty much everything you needed. We also utilized the charcoal grill. Only complaint was the lighting was a tad dark during the night but maybe it's to help you relax. Loved the view of the lake from the cabin, it was beautiful to wake up to. We were also able to bring our dog for a $60 fee. House rule does say no dog on bed so keep that in mind. There was a little doggy station on site and we were able to walk him around the property to potty. He enjoyed his stay and we liked going to the nearby trials in the morning/afternoon for a hike. There's an ingles nearby as well as some other restaurants if you need food options like McDonald's, Dunkin, couple of Pizza chains, and whatever a small town typically has to offer. Overall we 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!

"Engineering" never showed up, I presume because they don't exist. 12th consecutive year here for an annual golf tournament. Something has changed and their room care has plunged. Literally an insect infested room with no response beyond "here is some wine and we're oh so sorry". If you come here, bring Deet to spray on your body and bug killer to spray around the perimeter of the floors. Oh, mosquitos on the toilet as well. Gym weight equipment was essentially non-functional as all thepoarts had loose bolts and pulley/cable links broken. Barnsley has started to become a dump. I'd bet Private Equity now owns some or all of it and has pulled their usual "strip away expenses and maintenance and no one will notice", as decided by a 24 year old finance major.

In between meals, we made sure to stay active to earn our appetite. The property offers access to great trails in the Smokies which we took advantage of as well as a lovely outdoor pool with a view. The room itself was pleasant as well. It was hard to leave the luxurious king bed every morning. The heated floors in the bathroom and the comfy sitting area made our Holly Springs cottage suite the perfect home base. We were also assigned our own golf cart to get around the property (although we chose to walk mostly to take in the views). Service was top notch and the staff were wonderful.

We enjoyed the following activities ; Fly Fishing, wine tasting , the spa , a farm tour , & tomato tasting. All were spectacular and unique to themselves. The culinary experience is nothing short of a Michelin experience for dinner. The price is all inclusive , sans your alcohol. The service is world class and the staff makes you feel so welcome. Whether it's a special occasion or a bucket list item , I would say it's a must in your lifetime !! Side note- We thought this would be a one and done. However, the level of experience and ability to unplug was extremely therapeutic. Hope you enjoy the review by LIKING it and sharing feedback :).
