I love this place! The scenery, the food, the people, the affordability, and just the general peaceful mountain feel the whole weekend I was there. Saturday night enjoying the live music while eating dinner was a complete delight. Sunday morning we took the quick 2 mile jaunt to the Memorial Cross for a breathtaking view from the top of the...

I want to take the time to write an extremely positive review of Jim Oliver's place at Monteagle. I stayed there last month for a weekend.

Positive, helpful, and outgoing, every single person I encountered there was just... More

Couldn't agree more with other reviews. Warm, welcoming staff. Reasonably priced rooms with wonderful beds covered with warm down comforters. TV. Free, fast internet. It's a "green" hotel. Front desk called couple hours after I checked in to make sure my room was all I hoped it would be and to hear if there was anything else I might need.... More

Loved my cozy but spacious cabin at the Smokehouse Lodge! The restaurant was great, too, with free live entertainment and hearty fare at every meal.
