Wyndham Resort at Fairfield Glade

4 star. We stayed December 08 for some shopping in Gatlinburg area. There were some great malls on the way we should have spent our time at. We stayed in a 4 bedroom unit that was fabulous. The only reason I would rate it a 4 is the pools were not conveniently located.

My buddy and I just returned from our golfing trip to Fairfield Glade. We stayed in the Wellington Condos, and thought that they were very nice. The kitchen is kind of small, but we only really went in there to get a beer! The golf courses were very nice and extremely reasonable. Stonehedge and Dorcester were our favorites. Our favorite restaurants in Crossville were Hacyon Days and Cancun Mexican - highly recommend both of these! One thing to note: This is a dry county, you can only buy beer in the store, so bring your alcohol with you! The resort is on Central time, but if you plan to go check out Knoxville, note that they are on Eastern time!!

We stayed and played in our 2 bed unit in May 2007 and had a great time. 5 golf courses on site and very reasonable at $30 per round except Stonehenge which was $50. If you are looking for anything other than golf however you have come to the wrong spot. The place is dead but it was masters week so when we weren't golfing or playing poker or watching the hockey playoffs.... you get the picture.

It was so relaxing and peaceful. I needed this tranquil time, because I was six months pregnant and I wanted to be in an area that was not a huge tourist spot. After our daily excursions the super king size bed was like heaven. My daughter and I would get into the jacuzzi tub, which is located in a separate room by itself. I thought that was pretty cool.

When you get hungry there are plenty of places to get something to eat, but my favorite was "The Sassafras". You have got to try the Hot Roast Beef on Texas Toast with mashed potatoes and gravy. I've never had one like it! You could eat off of it for two settings.

The resort also has nice golf courses, but since I don't play that's all I can say about them. We took a swim in the indoor pool at the check- in building and that was fun. There is a kiddie pool area, but it's not too impressive. Fairfield Glade is a retirement community, so when they would see my daughter and I they were even more nice to us. They don't get many small children. The villas sit back off the roads and are in well shaded areas. There are activities such as horseback riding (but I could never catch up with anyone to rent a horse), miniature golf, tennis, cycling, exercise room, and scheduled bus tours to just about anything you would want to do, such as gambling, shows, nature trails, sightseeing, and shopping.

We just returned from Fairfield Glade and just loved it! The Wellington condo was very clean and quite nice. although one of the smallest two bedroom units we've been in. Also, in this section of the resort, the units are first floor or second floor, so you're either above or below someone - we tried to be quite knowing this, but our kids drove those below us crazy, we're sure! Lots to do at the resort - we loved the lakes, pools, and scenic grounds. The scheduled activites were numerous and our week flew by. We're looking forward to returning again!
