Very Beautiful place to stay. Food at the restaurant is excellent but the service is slow. Took close to 10 minutes before I was offered something to drink. But everything else is spectacular.

The RT Lodge is sooo cozy you will swear you are somewhere else. Greeted by friendly staff member who clearly loves her job! Super nice restaurant and bar! Lovely outdoor area! Quiet and safe… The Lodge has a ton of potential…and they may need to act on that to gain a repeat population. It still looks and feels like a training facility. AC is not in the rooms, so I could see summer being a bit of a challenge. Holiday decorations were minimum but ohhh so much potential to make the lodge amazing looking. Will be back in the fall!

This is our third time here… we love this lodge.. it’s a warm ambiance to relax and enjoy conversations with my husband Highly recommended ❣️

We loved our stay at RT Lodge. The lodge was cozy, clean, beautiful, and tasty food. This was our second stay at this lodge and we would love to stay again!

RT Lodge is absolutely amazing! All of the staff are super friendly, courteous, and accommodating. The lodge is so cozy, with numerous fireplaces burning all throughout the morning, day, and night. The 2 living rooms to relax in had the most comfortable chairs and ambiance. The lodge restaurant is some of the best food I’ve ever had! Everything is made from scratch. Sooo good! The included breakfast was fantastic, with fresh juices, coffee, tea, homemade pastries and breads, eggs, homemade granola and yogurt, fresh fruit- you name it! The room was the perfect size for my mom and me, the bed was so comfortable and it was very quiet. The property is surrounded by the woods, so everywhere you look there is beauty. They have free evening s’mores by the outside fire pit, which was a real treat! The joy fish pond was beautiful and all the on-site walking trails were so beautiful and serene. They also have free bicycle rentals to use during your stay. The property is the perfect size- not too large, but just large enough to have your privacy. A great place to socialize or just to relax. I cannot say enough great things about this lodge!

Very beautiful and peaceful property. Woodsy setting and very nice accommodations .

Nice stay. Nice property. Great breakfast. Nice patio, fire pit, etc.

The most beautiful hotel ! Very chic atmosphere and a fantastic restaurant and breakfast ! Was a wonderful surprise on our trip !

The perfect stay central to all the east TN hot spots. The luxury of a hotel and the comfort of a B&B. Loved loved loved our stay, will be back!

Nice and comfortable room. Cleanliness The staff was very friendly

Lovely place, quiet, serene, walkable.

Amazing property. The rooms were great, comfy beds. Food was delicious. My children enjoyed the koi pond and s’mores too ! Will def come again!

This place is really nice. Old style lodge, but clean, updated, and decorated to look old. Service here is outstanding.

The overall ascetics were appealing, however; the room left alot to be desired for the price. Cheap 32"tv, no refrigerator, no microwave, and paper thin walls all around us. We were eager to have breakfast the following morning as the staff mentioned multiple times about how great it was. We woke to aldente scrambled eggs, borderline burnt bacon, extemely overcooked potatos, and coffee that was more water than coffee.

Really comfortable room and bedding. A great lodge experience if anyone wants to do a trip to the Smokies. The restaurant is exquisite.

The property is at Maryville College woods. It’s so pretty in the fall. Room is very clean, somewhat rustic. Comfortable bed

Sapling wood furnishings with comfortable king bed, great shower, plus a flat screen tv. Coffee in the foyer each morning, then to the main building for a filling breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, coffee cakes, etc. and fruit and juices. More coffee. Very friendly morning staff. Came in late for dinner after the big football game and they were able to accommodate us.

Beautiful property, friendly staff, excellent restaurant

Thank you for hosting me was my first day near Knoxville, I look forward to coming back!

We enjoyed the area and the comfort of the facility- the breakfast was just outstanding!

The place is great. Seemingly is a remote forest but you are literally two miles off the beaten path. One large home style building with large seating areas, restaurant and great new bar area that is open to the large back patio and fire pit. Rooms are in adjacent building of similar style.

We’ve been to the RT Lodge many times while visiting family in the area. We love the quaint charm and peacefulness even though not far from town. We like all the changes but please don’t change too much. We were there for opening night of the beautiful new bar area. Melissa, the breakfast hostess is especially friendly, making us feel at home. All the staff we met are nice. Of course we love having s’mores at the fire pit. We look forward to many more visits!

Beautiful property. Wonderful and friendly staff. Would highly recommend to anyone. I hope to visit again.

Great peaceful retreat!

Very courteous staff

We booked 2 rooms for 2 night stay. Service was phenomenal. The fire pit area location and availability hours were great. We spent time there first night. I really liked the bed and having double dressers and double closets in each room. In last night we spent hours relaxing in one the I had read previous reviews about bathroom being small and it was. But not issue for us at all.

From the moment we entered the property we were treated like Royalty. Everything was wonderful! Exceptional service, food & accommodations!!! Definitely, will stay again!

Property gave you a very friendly high end mountain lodge feel. It seemed like you were stepping back into time but not giving up comfort or cleanliness.

The property was quiet & staff was attentive and friendly. Furnishings were average, very masculine. The seats in dining area are in need of replacement; no cushion! There was construction going onsite and although necessary, I think the lodge could have done a better job at concealing the mess outside.

Bathroom was small but otherwise we would stay there again

Romantic weekend away at this gem of a lodge plus exceptional restaurant. We didn’t arrive til early evening but next time we’ll definitely plan to arrive earlier to enjoy the grounds … outdoor fireplace in winter next to a pond with fish and water feature, lovely walks to maryville college. Sitting fireside in the formal lounge with grand piano - perfect place for a deep breath of relaxation! The rooms are fine true to the RT lodge style … tartan carpet regjdcted in the generous European pillows in the beds. Nice linens and very comfortable. Love that this is a dog friendly lodge and they have dog friendly rooms for a fee if you bring your pooch.Beautiful attention to detail in every aspect - the wooden rustic bed heads tge sane detail in the basin surrounds, mirror towel holders even the little toilet trash was wooden! Beautiful antique dark wood dressers lined the hallways of the lodge with coat racks at entrance and plenty of guest umbrellas if needed. The grounds were undergoing some winter maintenance which will make it look spectacular in spring and summer ‘22. Service is exceptionally good. One small error was we were told by our dinner server that breakfast finished at 11am so we turned up at 10am only to be told that breakfast service was over! But Emily sorted a plate of goodies for us. The restaurant produces exceptional food, all done with details down to the rustic - historic feeling furniture and the oldie worldie duck china.
