★★★★★Emma StoneWow!!! This place was absolutely amazing. My family stayed here for Thanksgiving this year and I already want to go back! Lots of hiking trails surrounding the retreat. Spectacular views. The rooms were lovely. We have plenty of space and there was a lot of us! The rooms were absolutely lovely with amazing views. They even let us use their kitchen which was so nice and it’s hard to find nowadays. They had a scheduled trash pickup which was very convenient also. This retreat has lots of different activities for everyone to enjoy! This was also my fiancé and I first trip and this one will definitely go down in the books! Beautiful views, lots of hiking, gorgeous retreat, making so many great memories. There was even a fire pit with wood provided! I highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone!
★★★★★Justin WilliamsonWafloy is one of my favorite places to bring our youth group! As a youth pastor, we have brought our teens on a fall retreat to Wafloy for 5 or 6 years and every single trip has been incredible. The grounds are beautiful with God's creation on full display all around you. The cabins are comfortable, plenty of play space to enjoy activities, and Gabe and the staff always do a tremendous job of being very welcoming and helpful. The atmosphere speaks for itself to allow students to focus on what really matters: growing closer to Christ and each other. Can't recommend it enough for any church or youth group looking for a powerful getaway spot!
★★★★★Jason ScottMy time at Wayfloy Mountain Retreat was amazing. I took a football team up there for our season opener at Rocky Top Sports and the manager at Wayfloy, Gabe, was extremely helpful. The lodges we lived in were clean, spacious and had lots of things to keep the kids time occupied. The kitchen was more than ample to feed our 29 football players and 19 cheerleaders (and staffs). We will most definitely stay at Wayfloy next season when we return to Gatlinburg!
★★★★★Todd BryantFor several years now, our summer church camp has been held at Wafloy. I am so very glad that we moved locations. While there are things I miss about the previous location, Wafloy is superior to any other camp we have stayed in. Everything is always as advertised—and that’s what you want when you are renting a property for 100+ children for 5 days. Highly recommend!!!
★★★★★Kim AngelWanted to thank Gabe and the awesome staff here at Wayflou! We have been coming here for the past several years with our Youth Group in June! We always have the best time and they always go way beyond the call to make our stay here great! As you can see from the photos I’m attaching. However just to give a shout out to Gabe for going out of his way to help me out just a few weeks ago. I brought a group of ladies up for Women of Joy and the cabin I booked at Cabins USA was so dirty and nasty I got a refund and called Gabe after a full anxiety attack because everything was booked. He squeezed our group in last minute in a cottage and coupel hotel rooms! Thank you for going out of the way to help us and for always being so great to make sure we had everything needed! Y’all are awesome! We love Wayflou and recommend to everyone! Keep up the good work! See y’all in June!
