We just held our daughter's wedding reception at The Heritage on Dec 20th. The venue is absolutely…read morebeautiful and is in a great setting. The staff were amazing, starting with the owner Linda and were so responsive to our needs. I don't think the word "no" is in their vocabulary. What we really appreciated was that the staff anticipated our needs and we didn't have to scramble for anything. The back patio area is decorated beautifully with fire pits and comfortable seating. Even the bathrooms were clean and decorated nicely. It was so convenient that the venue also caters the food, which was so delicious! Instead of having to worry about bringing in caterers from outside and how they'd fit into the venue, all of the food was taken care of (and again-was delicious). We threw a curveball at them when our daughter asked last minute if she could bring hot chocolate for the guests. We brought the hot chocolate, and the staff quickly had a separate table set up with all the needed items. They were very responsive to every question and request throughout the process leading up to the reception. They communicated so well! We really cannot overstate how wonderful the whole experience was with The Heritage. Thank you to everyone there who made this night unforgettable!

You don't get any of that in Kingsport... And that's why I LOVE this place. It sticks out like a sore thumb... In the best way possible. This location couldn't of picked a better location to set up shop. It's right on the main road on the way to the city area. It cost $5 for 18 holes. If this shop was located in an area where the above mentioned Go-Karting/Arcade was, this location wouldn't be as great because it would just be among the norm. But because fun stuff like this ISN'T the norm, this place is always loaded with business! It's quite the genius business practice if I do say so myself. As many times as I have passed by this location, never once have I not see people playing Mini-Golf here. But instead of going on and on about how great this place is, why not check my pictures and see for yourself?

Wanting to be considerate of the staff, I called ahead to see if we could place an order in advance without causing them to stay open longer than necessary. Alecia, the restaurant manager, handled the call with both professionalism and thoughtful attention. After asking about our expected arrival time, she explained that she would time the preparation of the order so the food would be served hot and at its best quality when we arrived. She also informed us that Zack in the bar would assist us since the bar remained open later. Her approach reflected a clear commitment to both customer service and the integrity of their dining experience. Upon arrival, everything was exactly as described. Alecia ensured our order was ready and confirmed that Zack would take care of us going forward. Both Alecia and Zack were courteous, attentive, and genuinely friendly throughout the interaction. Their efforts stood out in a time when exceptional service can feel uncommon. I would confidently recommend The Carnegie Hotel and Wellington's to others based on the level of care and professionalism demonstrated by their staff.

My wife stumbled across Wandering Llamas while researching things to do during our annual spring…read morebreak adventure. We spent two nights in the fox den treehouse which is located in one of the llama pasture areas. The "treehouse" is a elevated wooden shed like structure that has been refurbished into a pleasant little hideaway in the Smoky's. The treehouse has a nice deck to sit and enjoy the mountain view. There's also a nice swing chair and firepit to enjoy as well. The treehouse has electricity with a small electric heater to take the chill out. The treehouse was very clean and the bed unbelievably comfortable. The treehouse is a one and only. If you are renting here you have the treehouse and llamas all to yourself. The property owner and host (Sandy) lives on the property and is available if you are in need of anything. Sandy is very personable and will spend time sharing of herself with her guests. On the llama walk each person usually gets there own llama to walk with. Sandy accompanies you and can answer any llama related question you may have. The walk is at a very leisurely pace and lasts about two hours. The llamas are easy to walk and well behaved. Contrary to popular opinion of some the llamas did not spit at one another. One thing to be aware of if staying in the treehouse is there is no running water and only a fancy bucket of a toilet in an outhouse under the treehouse. This didn't bother us, but for some that don't care for "roughing it" I could see it as a drawback. (There is a gas station about a mile away that we used the bathroom at. We are members of the YMCA at home. There's a Y a few miles away and with the Y reciprocity program we were able to go there to take a hot shower. The Wandering Llama was an awesome get away experience for us and Sandy is a great host. We appreciate her sharing her llamas.

A super fun, unique outing if you are spending time in the Smoky Mountains, about a 1.5 hour drive…read morefrom our cabin in Sevierville. We booked the 2-hour wine and cheese tour because it was the only tour that had open spots left (we booked about a week ahead). We skipped the wine and cheese part due to our concerns about COVID (the food is served in their open gazebo, so it's relatively safe - we just prefer taking extra precautions and had already eaten lunch just before we got there), but the llama hike alone was well worth it. The walk, about 1.5 hours total time, is along the gravel road, which is a little hilly, but manageable if you're fit (not so much if you have small kids that don't do a lot of walking). Most of the time was spent relaxing in an open field - very socially distant from the other eight people in our group - where we fed the llamas and took lots of pictures. The llamas are super friendly and so soft! Though Sandy (the owner) provides animal crackers and strawberries for the llamas to enjoy during the middle of the hike, definitely bring your own -- we brought graham crackers and sliced apples to feed them throughout the walk, and the llamas LOVE to eat! Sandy is very friendly and welcoming and took pictures of everyone during the hike, which she emailed to us later. A great highlight of our trip!

I'm not sure what that wrinkled drape is covering behind the bar, but it's hideous. Service is good, not great, but they haven't been trained. Raw bar needs cocktail forks and crackers.

Great historic hotel in Greeneville. General Morgan Inn is situated right in the heart of town and…read morewithin walking distance of the Andrew Johnson home and visitor center. The hotel dates back to the 1800s and has a lot of interesting design features. I found my room to be spacious and, thankfully, very quiet too. Bed was comfortable and the hotel had decent amenities. It did seem quite dated (ie 90s era brass, carpet, old phone, etc.) with the interior finish. That's probably the biggest issue here. But, it seemed very clean (perfect health score) and is still nice. The only thing that would improve the hotel is to update the interior finish in the rooms. Otherwise, it's good and you'll be comfortable here. I really liked that they give you a $8 voucher for the nearby coffee shop. That's a nice perk since the coffee is better than what you'd find in a regular hotel. Also, they have 3 free Tesla chargers. That's a big benefit if you have a Tesla and want to charge on the road. Overall: Great hotel with a lot of charm. Worth a stay.
