Spectacular Everything. This is our 3rd time having our anniversary dinner there and it does not disappoint. The menu changes daily so I won’t go into what we had, except to say that everything was prepared to perfection. Josh and his team in the kitchen do a really great job. Sandra, Bri, and Laura in the dining room make it an unforgettable experience. They allow you to bring wine with a reasonable corkage fee. They have added an outside covered porch which provides exceptional views (ask to be seated out there - weather permitting) and a wine cellar with a fire place which would make a great spot for an intimate private dining experience. When making the reservation I let them know it was our anniversary and they put a very nice card on the able and gave us a very nice ceramic bud vase as a gift, which was unexpected and very much appreciated If you are in the area and want an exceptional dining experience, this should be at the top of your list.

Words don’t do The Swag justice. From the moment you arrive until you leave, the staff makes sure everything is perfect. This is one of our happy places and we will continue coming back.

First time quests at the Swag, was truly an incredible experience! We already booked for next year! The food and lodging were luxurious to say the least. Exceeded our expectations in all categories.

The Swag has the most welcoming, friendly staff of anywhere that I have visited. The food is exceptional….delicious and creative with local ingredients. The natural beauty of the grounds and the surrounding mountains is breathtaking. I look forward to my next visit.

A great luxury resort steps from the Smokey Mountain National Park and with no TVs! There are lots of activities included fishing, horse back riding and after-dinner S'mores at the fire pit. All that and 3 yummy meals a day from a first-rate kitchen.
