My husband and I had our wedding here on August 1, 2020, and it was absolutely amazing. More than…read moreamazing. It was the fairytale wedding of my dreams. We did a wedding weekend, so my grandparents, parents, and our entire bridal party were able to stay at the venue the entire weekend which made it really special. The staff at Cherokee Dock were awesome. We were able to call or email whenever we needed something, and Kelly and all of the staff were so knowledgeable about the venue and the wedding industry. They were super kind and flexible and helped with whatever we needed. They are definitely pros in the wedding industry! All my vendors also loved working with the Cherokee Dock staff. It rained on our wedding day, but The Estate at Cherokee Dock has a built-in rain plan that made the day so much less stressful. They also have so many beautiful ceremony spots, a great catering kitchen that all of our caterers loved. The pictures came out amazing, too! There were so many great photo spots like on the swing by the Cumberland River and on the dock! This weekend was the best weekend of my life and I could not recommend having your wedding at The Estate At Cherokee Dock more. Our family and guests have not stopped talking about how amazing this wedding was, many of them told us it the best wedding they have ever been to! Cherokee Dock is an open vendor venue, so we could have the wedding planners and vendors we wanted. This was extremely helpful for picking our bartender as there were no additional fees that had to do with alcohol like most venues. Seriously if you are thinking about having your wedding here, do!! You will absolutely love it!!! (photo creds: @beccaandkidronphoto on Instagram)

This place blows my mind! I had a surprise birthday party…read morehere 2 years ago for my wife and we had the most amazing time! All of her friends came from everywhere and we were all able to stay at the mansion together for several days. The mansion is beautiful, extremely well kept and quite modern. The views from every window are gorgeous views of the river. My daughter loved it so much that she wanted to get married there.... Fast Forward to this weekend: The wedding was more than anything any of us expected. Every detail was thought of. There wasn't a leaf by the pool. There wasn't a weed anywhere to be found. We used the pool, hot tub, pool bar, arcade, movie theater...... and the list is never ending.... Kevin, Anika and the entire Staff are like family to their guests. They will take care of every detail that you need help with. They are extremely responsive and ALWAYS helpful and friendly.Do yourself a favor and book this now for your once in a lifetime experience! Hmmm Perhaps another party is in order soon

I have been connected to Langford Farms Club since I was a teenager and have many fond memories…read morethere. When the previous owners, Brad and Becky, were in charge, the club felt like family. Over the years, I have primarily been a tennis member, but in April of this year I decided to purchase a full membership under the new ownership because of the amenities and improvements being advertised at that time. These included extended pool hours, a 24-hour gym, renovations throughout the facility, and resurfacing of three tennis courts. I understand that major upgrades take time and resources, and I was patient with that process. However, several of the marketed changes either did not occur or were delayed significantly. For example, the 24-hour gym was not operational until late July, despite being advertised in April. The pool hours were promoted as open until 8 p.m. all summer, but were later changed to close at 6 p.m. in the latter part of the season. The tennis court resurfacing is now stated to be dependent on future investors, meaning it is not guaranteed. In addition, I observed maintenance issues such as the adult pool containing significant debris on more than one occasion. I posted two brief, polite comments on the club's Facebook page noting the debris and the pool hour change. These comments contained no vulgar or disrespectful language. Shortly after, I found that I had been blocked from the club's Facebook page without prior notice or any request to communicate through alternative channels. This was concerning, as the page is where members receive updates and important information. I also experienced a serious health concern. On one occasion, my roommate and I both ate lunch and dinner at the poolside grill and became violently ill later that evening. I sent the owner a private message to let him know this was a possibility -- not to make a public complaint, but so he could be aware in case there was an issue that needed to be addressed. My concern was dismissed outright, with the owner stating that no one else had complained. In our conversation, he also dismissed other points I raised about the facility, saying my feedback carried less weight because he believed I had not attended the clubhouse often enough. When I arranged a face-to-face meeting to discuss these matters in a calm and professional manner, the owner confirmed that he removes Facebook comments he considers unfavorable. I explained that my reduced visits this summer were partly due to personal hardships, including two family bereavements and a job change; these statements were not acknowledged. Throughout the meeting, I was interrupted frequently, and my concerns were met with defensiveness. When I raised the topic of improving customer service and communication, the owner abruptly ended the conversation, told me the discussion was over, and escorted me out of the building in front of other members, opening the office gate forcefully and walking me to the exit. I have also personally seen other members' concerns about similar issues posted to Facebook, only to be removed, and during our conversation the owner acknowledged that multiple families had approached him directly with disappointment about the direction of the clubhouse. My membership has since been cancelled at my request, and while I appreciate that no further charges will be made, my experience leaves me concerned about the club's current management approach. I hope that in the future, member feedback will be met with constructive dialogue, professional communication, and the delivery of amenities as advertised. From my personal experience along with others, this to be an unsafe environment, emotionally, for family's who are paying for a positive experience. If any feedback and concerns are addressed it is met with unprofessionalism, retaliation, and defensiveness.

I've been an on and off member of Langford farms club since 1994. In the last 10-20 years this…read moreplace is nothing more than a daycare that allows others to join so they can pretend to be "Langford Farms Club" and supplement income. In my opinion it will never be what it was prior to the summer camp/daycare taking over. Adults should be able to use the adult pool anytime if we are forced to pay the pricey membership fees. In fact we used to be able to use every part of the club while there... including the indoor basketball court. The owners need to make a choice. Prioritize the club or prioritize the daycare. It cannot be both. 20 years ago the pool was open year round / was covered with a heated bubble in the winter. That owner let the bubble go and fell further into financial hardship... thus the camp was necessary to keep $ flowing. It's a very old establishment and I'm unsure why folks without a lot of cash flow to fix it up keep purchasing it. After reading the others reviews about the food safety and dirty pools: contact the health department and report your concerns. It will not fall upon deaf ears there.

Thank you GayLord Opryland Convention Center! Had an…read moreamazing time and glad to triple my daily steps at your Resort. Had an amazing comfortable memorable time!

I've been a Marriott person forever and have stayed in their properties all over the world. The…read moreGaylord Opryland hotel felt like it was going for a las vegas type experience with a country vibe. It's almost like a little town that's under a huge greenhouse. The rooms are expensive, I was there for a conference so was able to take advantage of a group rate. With taxes and resort fee it was still ~$300/night. I had reserved a king room, upon check in I was 'upgraded' to a 2 double bed room with a little balcony that overlooked the interior of the hotel. Not an upgrade in my humble opinion. During my 4 days there I didn't see one person sitting on these little balconies. The hotel and connected convention center is huge and it took a bit of time to get oriented to the set up to easily get around. The room was a typical Marriott room. While packing up to leave I did see a cockroach, so probably best to keep your luggage zipped up.

While my chicken salad stole the show--creamy, perfectly seasoned, and truly finger-licking good--I also loved wandering the little market packed with locally made wind chimes, ceramics, and hand-built garden chairs. The best surprise? A friendly resident hen who casually strolled up to greet us mid-lunch, adding the perfect farm-fresh touch. Friendly staff, great food, and one-of-a-kind vibes--five enthusiastic stars from me! Just a short drive out of the city.

All were very reasonably priced. I will be back!

They have some rather comfy looking couches in the 2nd floor, and lining the 2nd floor are tables for two. Food and drinks were reasonably priced, they had a food truck outside, and a bunch of outdoor furniture to relax in. Staff was incredibly warm and kind. If they greet you with a smile at the entrance, it just makes the experience that much better. We loved the concert we went to. Sound was on point! If you get a chance, check this place out!

When you walk in, there's a large foyer where you can easily host a reception or where people can hang out before going into the main space for the event or show. The main space is very large and there was plenty of space for tables and chairs. They were serving food on the side and no one was cramped. They had some couches in the back which the kids were using. The structure itself is beautiful and i loved the build out and space. I look forward to attending a concert here. I'd like to know what the acoustics are like.
