Not only do the ceilings provide natural light during the day but regardless of how cold it is outside the temperature inside is always temperate. The glass ceilings provide ample of light for the plants and trees to thrive all through the years. I wondered so many times if this was a hotel or a greenhouse? My guess is as good as yours 🙂 Palms trees, lilies, orchids and a looooot more. This hotel has 9 acres of indoor gardens with such an amazing variety of plants, flowers, and trees…. There were many things that WOWed us which made our stay so special and unforgettable here are a few of them: LUSH INDOOR GARDEN AND CASCADING WATERFALLS This hotel is not just a place to stay, it is itself a destination and an experience unto itself. We stayed for 4 nights to give time for my kids and my mom (their first time in Nashville) to explore this huge resort and surrounding areas we thought it would need a few days of exploring and how right we were. However, it wasn’t just HUGE but also a really beautiful resort. I have learned that it is one of the largest hotels in the world and the largest non-casino hotel in the United States. Lots to talk about from this trip but allow me to first share with you our stay at the famous Gaylord Opryland Resort. It was definitely an amazing trip – educational, fun and an unforgettable one.

Our itinerary was from Dallas to Memphis and Nashville in Tennessee and onward to Bentonville in Arkansas before heading back home to Dallas. For this year’s Thanksgiving, my family decided to take our longest road trip yet.
