One of the best things about living in East Tennessee is that it only takes a few minutes by car to get to heaven.
Up here on The Opal Oak Summit, we’re reminded of that every time we look out across this special place, but don’t take our word for it: Everyone who sets foot on the Summit is awestruck by the 360-degree view of what can only be described as breathtaking.
Skies that kiss these peaks with low-lying clouds, fat with rain and dense as the smoke from a wood fire. Blankets of crisp white snow in the winter, a canopy of lush greenery in the summer, and colors that burst into an awe-inspiring landscape in autumn… no matter the time of year, The Opal Oak Summit is the perfect setting for a celebration.
The best part? If you live in the greater Knoxville area, we’re less than a 45-minute drive. Nine minutes off Interstate 40, the Summit is an easy-to-find destination in the heart of pristine wilderness. For your wedding… we’ve got a place close enough to the city but far enough away that you’ll swear you’ve found a little piece of heaven at The Opal Oak Summit.
