2014 Family Reunions at Deer Ridge Mountain Resort

It has been a booming summer for family reunions at Deer Ridge Mountain Resort!  We've been so busy with assisting guests that it has taken me awhile to get to reporting about how great our summer is going.  We are still busy but time allows for a  quick report.  This summer we have had the pleasure of hosting the:

Smith-Gholson Family
Lindsey Family
Burke Family
Yates Family
Baechler Family
Call-Steele Family

for their family reunions.  We get the pleasure of hosting the Valentine Family this week and the Mazanowski Family next week.  Whew!

I haven't even gotten to our military reunions, non family groups, and weddings yet - that post is coming later this week, or maybe next - like I said, we are still very busy here on the Ridge!

Thought you might enjoy seeing one of our groups enjoying their stay at Deer Ridge Mountain Resort.  These pictures are courtesy of the Lindsey Family:

August Special Events For 2014


Today is the start of August, but don't get any ideas in your head about the "Summer blues" of going back to school and such - this year the Smokies are packing August with more special events than the month has seen in a long time!

Even today is the start of two of them - the fabled Sales Tax-Free weekend going on until the end of Sunday, August 3rd throughout the entire state of Tennessee, and Celebrate Freedom, of which the entire neighboring city of Pigeon Forge engages in a series of military discounts at businesses and attractions and, later in the month, special events designed to honor current serving and veteran officers of the armed forces.

Here is a list of recommended events going on in August:

8/2/14
Stringtime in the Smokies
