  What a great tme my family had at Rocky Top. The lodge is charming and fun, each room has it's own theme and the owners have taken care to choose each item. The owners are easy to communicate with and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable in their lodge. Rocky Top is clean and comfortable and has all of the amenities of home. There are plenty of things to do while you enjoy the peace and quiet of the area. There are many movies to choose from, many games to play and a wonderful reading nook, also there is a pool table that converts into a ping pong table and even a sleding disk for the kids. The kitchen has everthing our family needed to enjoy both cooking and eating all of our meals. The Village is very close, with a market and resteraunts in case you forget something or choose not to cook in. I would recommend Rocky Top to friends and family, anyone who is looking for a place to spend quality time with their family. Thank you to the owners for sharing this lovely lodge with my family, we can't wait to go back.
