Golf groups enjoy fall visits to Deer Ridge Mountain Resort

This fall is giving us beautiful weather and allowing golf groups to really enjoy their visits to Deer Ridge Mountain Resort.  We have hosted the Simmons golf group (1st time visitors) and the Newman golf group (past guests) during the month of September.  We are looking forward to having Lockheed Martin from the Marietta GA facility back with us this year.  This golf group visited us for the first time last year - and they are bringing a bigger group back this year!  They will be here Oct. 10-14 and have booked 20 rooms for this year's outing.  We are glad to have these folks back with us!

Changing Fall Colors 2013

What we suspected after a wet and cooler Summer than previous ones is coming true - the leaves are already falling and changing here in the Smokies. The full bloom is still a ways away, but you can already see colors throughout the mountains and trees as you drive.

And one of the best ways to see and genuinely experience the nature of the mountains in the Autumn is a darn good hike with the family in the Smokies. We offer a unique "Scavenger Hike" package at Deer Ridge which includes 2-3 night stay in our highly-rated resort, special logo backpack, trail maps, aluminum bottle and a Scavenger Hike Adventures book to start your journey!

This package and many more can be found at www.deerridge.com. Don't forget we have Sunset Festival coming up soon - stayed tuned for that!

Comments: We stayed in condo 303B. Your maintenance and upkeep of the facility is excellent. We were very impressed with the fresh look of both interior and exterior of the facilities. Everything from paint to deck board replacement, it looked good. Bathroom was modern and clean. The kitchen was clean. Could use a few more pots/pans for those who want to prepare meals on site. The view was everything that the website said and more. Overall, the website is very representative of your facitities. Many times websites overstate the comfort, convenience, and location of the facilities. Your website is right on. Cable and wireless internet worked flawlessly. Your guest services binder is top notch. Many helpful suggestions for places to visit, restaurants, etc plus helpful tips for the condo. Overall we were extremely pleased and would highly recommend the Deer Ridge resort to friends and family.
