My wife and I were contacted on Friday about a change to our reservations, due to a lack of staff at our original destination. We wound up returning to this resort, a place where we had stayed before in March of 2023. We checked in on Saturday, and found the accomodations quite good. It was a single bedroom, but quite spacious apartment with many amenities. We had a full kitchen, washer/dryer, a king-sized bed, and a large combo living room/dining room area. It took awhile to figure out the wall switches, and what they turned off and on, but we got that worked out. There was a problem with the gas logs not coming on, and it took a few days to get that resolved, but they did fix them; as well as replaced a damaged ironing board. The maintenance folks were very nice. While there, we attended Fairfield Glade UMC for Sunday School and Worship, and were invited to stay for their 5th Sunday lunch after church. We're glad we did. The folks were so very warm and welcoming and the food was tremendous-the best meal we had while we were there! We also attended the usual time-share presentation and informed them we had everything we needed for our travel for years to come. We just go to those presentations to get free stuff-duh. We used some of that resort money to take a pontoon boat cruise on one of the lakes on the resort property. Our "captain," Leonard, was very personable and informative and the setting was pretty and the million dollar-plus houses lining the lake were gorgeous. We used the rest of the money for lunch at the clubhouse/restaurant and the food was excellent, not cheap, but not outrageous, either. We had some left over! At Leonard's suggestion, we visited one of the few waterfalls in that area of Tennessee. Ozone Falls was worth the short hike through the woods to see it. We also toured a local museum, dedicated to the Great Depression Era project that enabled the folks there to build and own their own homes. Constructed out of local wood and stone, those houses must have seemed like a slice of heaven to the owners. They were two stories, with three bedrooms, and indoor plumbing! If you like history, this is worth seeing. The old water tower still stands, and is part of the main museum. It's 97 steps to the top, and worth the view if you care to climb. (I did.) This was a low-key, but relaxing vacation. If you are a golfer, there are a number of courses that will satisfy you.
