Thank you for sharing this! I stayed here for 2 nights one February for my grandsons b.day and we got our room for $99. a night it was the resort connecting with the indoor water park since the out door ones are closed in the colder mos, I got the room that only had a sofa bed and a Murphy bed so I could have a kitchen and we cooked to save $$ but after seeing this it helps me in my decision making for the extra cost in the warmer mos with the outdoor water parks being open
Hey y’all I am from Owingsville! I currently live in Virginia. My favorite childhood memories are family vacations to the smokies. Thanks for sharing your family adventures.
I don't love that hotel room but the waterpark looks bangin. I SO want to bring the kids here one weekend. Thanks for the review. Y'all are the pool kings!
I went there last year it’s actually a very amazing hotel in my opinion the rooms are based off how much u pay for the room so the more u pay the better of a room u get
March 29-31 is when I went. The indoor water park was awesome. The storm chaser freaked me out. The runaway canyon was soooo fun. Trail twisters was one of my favorites. The orange and red one i didn’t ride. I recommend the food there too. It’s really yummy and drinks don’t taste bleh. If you are going to Wilderness At The Smokies, it was the funniest thing I’ve done so far in 2024.
Great video! And what is always my favorite is your guys reviews. You speak the truth on your experience and you don't sugar coat nothing at all. Not many I can say do that. And yesterday the waterpark there is so amazing. Never been on the outside part just the inside when they use to do local deal's just to go to the indoor waterpark it was like 5 dollars I believe it was. They haven't done it since I think like 2018. And it was like around the end of Oct around the beginning of Nov. Hopefully they bring it back someday.
While you’re there don’t forget to check out the metaphors in the next town over lol. Don’t you just love that text correction. October is a great time of year to be here. Thanks as always!!
Loved your review! My family and I have been here 3 times and headed there a 4th time this week! Your absolutely right! Everything you need is right on the resort we don’t get back in our car until we’re headed home!
I always love the girls..."Welcome to our crib!" It's amazing to see how they have grown the past few years, They are beautiful young women now. Have a great weekend SMF and God Bless. ❤🙏
You guys are awesome!! Thanks as always with your honest reviews! Love the girls opinions as well! We have always wanted to try this place, but wasn’t always on our agenda! Lol! Need to now! Thanks again for the review! 😊
Wilderness At The Smokies is our Great Wolf Lodge up here in Massachusetts same exact set up, but I'm pretty sure it's owned by Great Wolf Lodge. If you guys loved this place you would love Great Wolf Lodge they have them all over the country and even Canada. That microwave is not good any manager would send the housekeepers back in and make sure it was cleaned right. I love those water slides that go from the inside to the outside and back in it's awesome. Yeah evidently they didn't know what they were doing, because they usually test everything before it opens to the public to make sure nothing malfunctions and if it does it's down until maintenance fixes it.
Agreed with all your comments and the girls have been wanting to go to a great wolf lodge forever. I’m pretty sure there is one by kings island so maybe we will try it out when we go to kings island this fall :)
We stayed in one of the suites here through Club Wyndham with 2 bedrooms and it was a lot different than the regular rooms. Unfortunately we were there right before the outdoor pools opened. We had fun at the arcades and we did the pottery painting. My niece enjoyed the indoor pool area.
@@SmokyMountainFamily yah. I liked it. I painted a little turtle. It was about $30. A whole family can get pricey. My sister her fiancée and their 4 year old was like $100. It also depends on the size of the thing you pick to paint.
We went for 1 night memorial weekend yes check in is 4 but you can go as soon as noon n go swimming n stuff it says right on the website n u can stay til it closes the day u check out we also used Groupon
We never stay in that building, we always stay in the main building. the rooms are bigger, and they have bunkbeds for the kids, and big bathrooms. We have always had nothing but a fantastic experience. This year was our 5th year staying there.
Thank you for reviewing. We were there last week for 6 nights. We always get a 2 BR condo through Wyndham. Their check in is much better than the Wilderness.This time we had a pool view. The condos are bright and lots of light and plugs. Very clean. I was curious about the rooms in case I wanted to come with just my grandson.
Wilderness is our go to place. This year was our 5th year. We always stay in the main building, and either do the condo size suite, which is nice. This year we did the room in the main building, with outdoor waterpark view. It has bunkbeds for the kids, and a queen size bed. We do the special right at the beginning of June, Soaky Mountain is included at that time. You just have to watch for the specials. They have them in the Spring, as well at the beginning of summer, and end of summer. We love it.
We love this place. Beds were alittle hard to us but the resort is nice and the soaky mountain water park across the street is one of the best I’ve ever seen. The Wyndham rooms are nice too. The river lodge is great and everything is over there so you don’t have to take shuttles to everything which is nice. But try soaky mountain water park. It’s amazing, but they would not let us film there. We could last year but this year they said no go pros.
Thanks for the review!! I’m super sad I didn’t commit to the lodge a few months ago now!! I read reviews of it being loud & not the cleanest, also uncomfortable beds 😞 my family loves your family!! Keep the good times coming 💕
We read those too and I was scared. The hallways are absolutely loud but for whatever reason once we got in the room we never heard anything. Keegan did tell me she thought the bed was a bit uncomfortable I think she forgot to mention that in the review though
I feel like this is a fair review. We stayed there in 2021 at the Stone Hill Lodge and everything you said is accurate about it all. The rooms are meh but the water park, arcade and eating areas are fun for all ages. We will probably go back in a year or two! Thanks for making great videos.
U would think that they would change out microwave out every couple months but I am glad the girls have not quit working with y’all that shows y’all are good parents 👍
Hi, only reccent i have came across your channel and just want to say brilliant thank you. Me, my wife and two children (8&5) are Brits and planning a holiday over to the smoky mountain region in the next year. Research is taking place and your channel is helping us a lot. I am wondering, are any of the water parks open all year round? More precise end of march time / beginning of april. If not then is there any indoor water parks open during this period? Thank you
Thanks so much for joining us. Most outdoor water parks, to our knowledge, are closed during the time frame you specified. However, Wilderness of the Smokies is open during that time and we love it!
Yea we thought that and we didn’t really know how to judge it since it was a hotel with a water park we didn’t have anything to compare it to lol but you are absolutely right thanks so much for watching
Thanks for your review. I had always wondered about this place, but from what i saw, the room rated a 4. Imo, you paid $300 to use the waterpark and have a place to lay your head. Maybe i'm just jealous because i can no long enjoy the water, especially the lazy river. :)
I don't think I knew you got the GoPro9. Front screen working for you? The room was dark and one plug? For real? Someone cooked some beans up in that micajave. There were no less than a quarter billion people there.
PLEASE GO TO WALT DISNEY WORLD🏰♥️🏰 in Orlando Florida and do some good videos from there, and stay at a Disney Resort!!! Late fall is a great time to go. I’ve been 64 times and I live beside Chattanooga Tennessee actually in Georgia and everyone knows me as WILDWOMAN. You guys would increase your audience so much if you can travel some and so different videos, bc you do a good job. Love your vibe….🏰🦋🛳🌴🛟 WILDWOMAN #pleaseconsiderthis✌🏼
I’ve seen this advertised as being “a good deal” but people actually say it’s “okay” and the time-share association is just shady. Some complaints I’ve heard are low quality rooms, keys don’t work, and that there are just kids everywhere, as if you are staying at a water park rather than there just being a small water park at the hotel.
As we stated in our review it varies. Depending on which rooms you stay with. Our Christmas video we had a much better experience as it was a different location and company
I've always wondered what the Non-Wyndham timeshare rooms looked like because I've heard they were really small. The rooms near their water slides I think are all managed and rented through Wyndham Timeshares. We've stayed twice and they are really beautiful and huge. I had read some of the non- Wyndham rooms even have Murphy beds instead of actual beds like your room had. That microwave in your room though, I would have called and asked for another microwave if we had any intentions to possibly use it, might have called either way to complain. Gross.
Thanx for all your content. We value the info and definitely your take on the experiences you show. Keep up the great work and thanx for bringing us along!
Thanks so much Bob we appreciate you
That intro music drops on my living room subwoofer caught me by surprise
My bad Brad, my bad. Unless you like that sort of thing then …. Awesome lol. Thanks as always.
@@SmokyMountainFamily ha, no harm done bobbed my head and went on with life!
@@bradalucas1 my man. I guess you have a subwoofer for a reason lol.

Oh this is amazing to know because Jaycee wants to go here for her bday
Stayed there before. Water park was awesome!
We loved it, thanks for watching Chris we appreciate you

Thanks for watching Janet I think your grandson would have a lot of fun
@@SmokyMountainFamily yes he loves it there.
We stayed there in June in river lodge we loved it
We are going to try that one next time I think. Jaycee is wanting to go back for her bday

That’s good to know because Jaycee wants to come back here for her birthday this winter. We are going to Soaky mountain soon can’t wait
So in other words wilderness of the Smokies is a vacation in its self, awesome
That’s absolutely the perfect way to describe this place
Thanks for the review!! I’m super sad I didn’t commit to the lodge a few months ago now!! I read reviews of it being loud & not the cleanest, also uncomfortable beds 😞 my family loves your family!! Keep the good times coming 💕

That’s awesome. We will be back here for Jaycee bday it appears lol going to see what the other rooms at the other building is like
U would think that they would change out microwave out every couple months but I am glad the girls have not quit working with y’all that shows y’all are good parents 👍
Aww thank you Jerry
I've taken my family to the wilderness over 50 times and I had no idea they had rooms without a full kitchen inside the room.
Lol we had no idea they did but this was our first time ever going. Thanks so much for watching
For that price I would have expected alot more room , but the water park parts was pretty cool
That’s how we felt too Kim thanks so much for watching we appreciate you
Love the video. Went there just to see what it looked like once. They just started letting outsiders in. Do they still do that? Looked like fun
I’m not sure if they do or not Linda that’s a great question

@@SmokyMountainFamily thank you
It was a little expensive....we stayed there years ago...rooms were very small.
They really were. Thanks so much for watching shelia
the price of that hotel room you would think it would be cleaner/nicer
Yea we thought that and we didn’t really know how to judge it since it was a hotel with a water park we didn’t have anything to compare it to lol but you are absolutely right thanks so much for watching
Is it worth it I’m going to my 1st time to Tennessee to pigeon forge to titanic museum
Thanks for your review. I had always wondered about this place, but from what i saw, the room rated a 4. Imo, you paid $300 to use the waterpark and have a place to lay your head. Maybe i'm just jealous because i can no long enjoy the water, especially the lazy river. :)

Front screen is working! After two 8’s that were nearly unusable the 9 has been a beast!
Hmm 🤔.
Looked fun tho

I was hoping to see you in a bathing suit Eric💪💪😜
😂
@@SmokyMountainFamily I saw you honking...lol
Have you ever thought about taking a blacklight to your reviews
We have to make that purchase soon but we are also scared we won’t stay anywhere 😂
@@SmokyMountainFamily I know right but it would be fun to see all the dirt
I like big tubs and you can not lie 🤦♂️ bad pun
😂 yessss
You guys have to start bringing a black light and really go “hotel impossible” on these stays, show us what we don’t want to see 👀
We want to but also are scared we won’t want to stay anywhere 😂 ❤️ we will definitely be getting one soon though
Where is the safety? No seatbelts? Shame shame.
Thanks for watching
@@SmokyMountainFamily I’m just messin, love your channel!
That's alot of money for a room I've seen alot better for less l will stick to cabin rentals.
Yea the room wasn’t great especially for the price. Thanks so much for watching we appreciate you
