Laurel Valley Mountain Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"Had a wonderful stay and we will absolutely be back to visit, and will recommend Laurel Valley Mountain Retreat to our East Tennessee visitors. The only issue we had was a slightly sticking keypad entry on arrival, but the staff responded quickly and once we figured it out, no more issues at all. It was a peaceful night, just what we needed after a long week. Tyler's breakfast was delicious! Can't wait to come back and stay longer."
