She took extra reservations for a small cost that arrived late and had enough room for all of us to sit comfortably at the tables. The food was delicious and atmosphere perfect for our reunion. There was a bar. A classmate and his wife performed and acoustics (other than our class being loud because they were excited to see each other) were great. There was a large slide screen for our video and a projector. I brought a DVD player. They had decoration for the tables (tablecloths and center pieces) and I substituted our own center pieces. There were lots of other details provided generously, such as easels for our name tag boards and other things. It was our best reunion ever, thanks to the Car Barn and Shirley!

Absolutely Unforgettable - The Hiwassee River Rail Adventure is Pure Magic!…read more I hadn't been on a real train in years, so when I spotted an Instagram video of the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum's Hiwassee River excursion, I knew it was the perfect way to celebrate my mom's birthday. We made the 3-hour drive from home, and let me tell you - it was 100% worth every mile! We timed our trip for a Friday in mid-November, after hearing the fall colors were peaking a bit late this year. With just enough leaves fallen, the views of the majestic Hiwassee River opened up dramatically through the trees. Riding midday was key: the sunlight danced across the water, creating that breathtaking "jewel effect" John Muir raved about over 150 years ago when he walked these very banks: "My path all to-day led me along the leafy banks of the Hiwassee, a most impressive mountain river... Such a river is the Hiwassee, with its surface broken to a thousand sparkling gems, and its forest walls vine-draped and flowery as Eden." He wasn't exaggerating - the river truly sparkled like a thousand gems under the autumn sun, framed by the rugged gorge and Cherokee National Forest. It felt like stepping into a living postcard (or Eden itself!). This was the very last Hiwassee Loop trip of the season, and tickets were down to the final four when I booked - we ended up in coach class, but it was perfectly comfortable. The roughly 4-hour round-trip journey (50 miles through the stunning lower Hiwassee Gorge) flew by. We wandered freely between cars, snapped incredible photos and videos from the open-air vestibules (fresh mountain air + epic vistas = perfection), and soaked in the engineering marvel of the historic Hiwassee Loop where the tracks spiral over themselves. The staff were fantastic - friendly, hilarious, and full of fascinating stories about the railroad's history, the local area, and the wildlife along the route. This isn't just a train ride; it's a one-of-a-kind adventure that blends nostalgia, nature, and pure joy. If you're debating it... book it now! You won't regret experiencing one of the most scenic rail journeys in the Southeast. Highly recommend for families, nature lovers, history buffs, or anyone needing a memorable escape. We'll be back!

We booked the one hour train ride with dinner at the depot and that part was on me. I assumed…read moredinner would be served on the train, but we were actually seated upstairs in the depot. It is a very old, nostalgic building, but once we saw the setup I started to worry about the food and unfortunately that instinct was right. The salad was honestly the best part and tasted like a bagged mix. The hors d'oeuvres were hummus, goat cheese, and tomatoes. Just okay, and I normally love goat cheese. We preordered herb chicken with potatoes and asparagus, and salmon with potatoes. The salmon looked pretty but tasted awful and was overcooked. Whatever it was sitting on underneath was not edible. My honey's chicken came out undercooked and bloody. When he sent it back, the waiter, who I truly felt bad for, was told to explain it away as normal near the joint. It is not normal. The replacement chicken was still bloody. That should never happen. Dessert was cheesecake and strawberry crème brûlée. The cheesecake was good. The crème brûlée tasted artificial and missed the mark. The train ride itself was decent, but since it was at night there was not much to see. I would have preferred doing the ride first while there was still some daylight and then dinner after, but that may have been in the details I missed. Next time I would do just the train ride and skip the dinner.

We came in via Ooltewah and I was following my gps, which took us straight to the site. However, the entrance to the parking area isn't clearly marked and being that it's on a hill makes it difficult to located in time to pull in. We bypassed it and had to turn around. Very annoying. After we got turned around and pulled into the parking lot, which was gravel, we parked and exited the car. My wife had a hard time walking to the barn due to the gravels. The grade of the parking lot and the walk to the barn and wedding site were steep and were certainly not conducive for those needing assistance. Several older folks had a hard time getting up and down the large hill. Even the younger crowd had a difficult time due to the steepness of the hill. As we all gathered down by the large tree we noticed a rope holding the tree together where it had split down the middle. This wasn't really a problem but it was interesting. It was also hard to sit because the chairs weren't level. This place was beautiful but everything was on a hill of some sort. Be very certain that this place is the right place for you and your guests before you book and pay.
