    What a unique and exceptional experience. Everything was far above expectations. The ambiance, service and food were incredible. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

    My husband and I booked a room and dinner For our anniversary last year and it was one of my favorite experiences in Tennessee since moving here. The grounds are beautiful- we walked all over the place. They had lawn games set up, koi pond, walking trails. The food was farm to table with a creative seasonal menu. Some of the best food I've had in a long time. The service was excellent. Room was very lodgey and cute but really comfortable. The complimentary soaps smelled amazing and used clean ingredients. Over all- I'd describe it as special. It really is such a special experience.

    Came for a birthday dinner and it was really nice! The ambiance is peaceful with the tables not too close together. Everyone was a good volume and the dining room didn't get loud when it was fuller. Service was very attentive. Bread came out first and the rolls were warm and butter was great. For appetizers and small plates, we got the roasted oysters, beet salad, and chicken and dumplings. Everything had great flavor and wasn't salted too heavily. Beet salad had a great mix of textures and was very fresh tasting. For mains, we got the short ribs and halibut. The short ribs are a must get! Fish was good, if slightly over salted. Broccolini was a great side with hits of citrus, buttermilk, and panko crunchiness. We got the pecan ice cream and the Mississippi mud cake and it was perfect. Ice cream was super creamy and the cake had a combo of flavors and temps with the warm cake and cold ice cream. Overall, glad to check this place out before we bring out of town guests. Definitely will be back!

    This is the place to go!! We live out in Hardin Valley but came out this way for dinner to celebrate our second anniversary. It was so romantic and special. I couldn't recommend this place enough. I would go again & again for any special occasion. The people there were attentive and kind. We really enjoyed everything. From the drinks, to the dinner, & dessert. 10/10

    We came here for a wedding and had an amazing time! We stayed for two nights. It was all decorated for Christmas and very cozy. The staff were super kind and friendly. It is the extra touches they they take the time to do that really makes a difference: the towels were fluffy, there was umbrellas out, water and coffee stations, s'mores by the fire, etc... The food we had for breakfast and during the wedding was all fantastic. The grounds are gorgeous! The only negative is that the rooms are not soundproofed at all. You can hear every conversation in the hallway, footsteps from above and even the people next door plugging their phone in the wall. You might want to bring ear plugs if you are not a heavy sleeper. Overall we had a fantastic time and we had a hard time leaving.

    I had to add the RT lodge to the restaurant category because I don't think folks need to miss this gem. You don't need to stay here to enjoy the restaurant. It was an absolutely perfect evening. This is the best place I have been all year. Perfect drinks, small plates, dinner and dessert.

    We just finish one of the most amazing dinners we've had in this area of TN at the RT Lodge Restaurant. This place is special, you feel the charm since you step out of your car. The Food is incredible The chef is Top Notch every single plate was outstanding, don't skip dessert!! The service is out of this world amazing i'm not exaggerating when i say is perfect from start to finish from every small detail like the ladies welcoming you at the entrance and wishing you a good night and to visit again soon at end. Can't say enough good things about Charlie he attended us tonight and he is in another level of hospitality. Every suggestion from him was on point, he knows the menu from top to bottom he knows the ingredients the flavors the drinks Charlie is amazing!! I will hire him in a blink. We are so grateful he made our family time special. We can't wait to come back!

    Beautiful meal and the service was excellent. I can't wait to go back in the fall when the leaves are turning.

    Wowza. This is an excellent retreat location. The guest rooms are small - particularly the bathrooms - but comfortable. The meeting rooms are terrific and the food is amazing. I would definitely recommend hosting an event here. The staff are helpful and friendly.

    How well are they following the COVID-19 protocols? Would love to visit, but need safety, being high risk....

    My husband and I enjoyed 3 marvelous days and night at the RT Lodge. Their COVID 19 protocols were in place and everyone honored the rules. The dining space had people sat every other table, wait staff were masked and everything was sanitized. I… Read more
