As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

Beaches are on the mind come summertime, but it can be difficult to find time off and the budget to book a plane flight from landlocked Tennessee. You can take a dip in the rushing streams and rivers that stripe the Volunteer State, but there’s something about the energy of others and the sound of rushing waves. There are no beaches in the vicinity, unfortunately, but SoundWaves in the Opryland Resort is renowned for a reason. Open year-round to hotel guests, this lightly exclusive getaway (along with its waterpark in Nashville) is perfect for a lazy, sunny weekend.
