We will definitely return here and our only regret was that we left and went to Myrtle Beach. The photos on the resort's website give accurate depictions of the property. We were looking forward to being able to relax and this gave us the opportunity we needed! The resort was quiet with mainly families staying on the property grounds during our visit. The kids had fun at the swimming pool and enjoyed playing pool inside the cabin. There was a gas fireplace downstairs and an electric fireplace upstiars in the bedroom. The coffee pot even had samples of coffee with cream and sugar for use. There was even a starter pack of laundry detergent suppled! Any cooking utensil needed was available. It was nice not to have to run to the store to buy these supplies. The cabin was supplied with bar soap, shampoo, liquid hand soap, paper towels, toilet paper, dishwasher detergent, trash bags, etc, that you don't always get with condo rentals. The resort is in a subdivision type area, and you can see other cabins around you, but none of the other cabins blocks your view of the mountains. Our cabin, Mountain Dreams, was almost at the top of the resort and we questioned whether the mini van would make it up to the top but it did. The gated entrance was nice and we felt secure. When we arrived, we were immediatley delighted by the property and its location - away from the crowded touristy section but not isolated either. Probably not the best way to make an informed choice but the service begins somewhere, right? Anyway, our family only stayed at the resort from June 17th to June 20th. The lady who answered the phone at the Sherwood Resort was friendly and informative. The man who answered the phone at the Preserve Resort was unfriendly and sounded like he didn't have time to answer any of our questions about the property. We chose Sherwood Forest mainly due to us calling each resort directly and having better service with Sherwood Forest Resort. Before we had made the reservation, we read the trip advisor reviews and were deciding between the Preserve Resort and Sherwood Forest. We had never been to Gatlinburg so we weren't sure what to expect, but we absolutely thrilled with the results. We needed a destination in between Indiana (where we are from) to Myrtle Beach (our destination). Just wanted to give my input on our stay along with our two children, ages 12 and 8.
