Will you really lose $40,000 cash if you buy a rental condo at Deer Ridge and use Ridge Management Ltd?  As an owner-occupied home, Deer Ridge is an incredible value with THE best view in the Smokies and great amenities. |
 This is a high def time lapse drive through Gatlinburg, Tennessee from the Sugarlands Visitor Center which serves as Park headquarters for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The turn at Light 3 in downtown Gatlinburg is 13.3 miles to Deer Ridge Mountain Resort. As always, the video is definitely best seen in high def and full screen! Consider Gatlinburg for your family vacation – lots to see and do in the Gatlinburg – Pigeon Forge Tennessee area! Here is a cool excursion fairly near Deer Ridge Mountain Resort. This is especially great with a convertible or a motorcycle. Dragon Tail – 318 Curves, 7 Cops – All In 11 Miles – May 2011 The following is our video on YouTube. Much better seen full screen and in hi def! Dragon Tail – 11 miles of road with 318 curves. A great drive with the top down and especially for motorcycles. One end is at Deal’s Gap Motorcycle Resort and the other end is at the entrance to the Foothills Parkway. Most of the road is in Tennessee. This was our second time on the tail….the first time was last fall with all the fall foliage. Both time with the top down on the convertible – which accounts for some of the windshield glare. Sorry about that – but was too beautiful a day to leave it up! Last time we drove the Dragon, we saw 3 wrecks – all motorcycles – so be careful. Don’t end up with bits and pieces on the Tree of Shame! The day we drove this for the photos and movie, we counted SEVEN cops – almost all speed traps. Enjoy – but drive safely. (See if you can spot all seven!) BTW, Movie Trivia: Where we pull off the road, you can see the dam used in the movie, The Fugitive, with Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones – where Dr. Richard Kimble jumped from the dam to escape Deputy Samuel Gerard. The freight train wreck that was staged for the movie is down the road from this shot, just outside of Dillsboro, North Carolina. The train wreckage is still there. Wow….4,500 trees leveled with an F4 tornado that hit down the road here in the Smoky Mountains National Park a month ago…amazing to see how wide and how long the path of damage in the video. Massive destruction…but thankfully all isolated in the back country with no injuries or buildings damaged. Lots of trail closures…but better here than the havoc and personal tragedies of a Joplin or Tuscaloosa. Roaring Fork Motor Trail in downtown Gatlinburg, Tennessee is a treasure for all visitors to the Park. It has rustic cabins, waterfalls, hiking trails, mountain streams and wildlife including black bears. Absolutely best seen full screen and in hi def! As locals, we drive this at least a dozen times each year…usually with the top down on the convertible to really appreciate the experience. How To Find Deer Ridge Mountain Resort How To Find Deer Ridge Mountain Resort Coming From Gatlinburg After Turning At Light #3 Onto Hwy 321 And Driving For About 10 Miles To Get To This Point Here. Deer Ridge Mountain Resort in Gatlinburg, Tennessee can be hard to find since it is WAY out in the boondocks. So many tourists on vacation here get lost that we decided to do this quick video to make sure you know where to turn. Note: If you click on the symbol in the bottom right corner, you can watch the movie full screen. You can also choose hi def or to choose to watch it directly on YouTube by clicking the YouTube symbol. Note that a lot of GPS units continue to route folks the wrong way to Deer Ridge! Make sure that your route shows that you get to Deer Ridge by turning left onto Butler Branch Road off Highway 321. If your GPS or Internet map shows anything else, you will get lost! Boondocks Living – With A View The view here is fantastic…but if you really want to be near the action, near restaurants, entertainment and activities for the kids for your family vacation, just be aware of how FAR you are from all of that when you buy or rent a condo at Deer Ridge.

This video shows the drive time and road scenery of 321 from Deer Ridge Mountain Resort back to civilization.

Several more videos are planned showing various drive abouts of the Gatlinburg and Great Smoky Mountains National Park – to help with your mountain vacation plans.

In my opinion, Larry Ohm, CPA, Treasurer and “board” member of GGRC, aka Deer Ridge Mountain Resort, has been lying to owners for years. Click the YouTube icon to watch in high def and full screen so you can see the numbers. He attests that the books that he and Joe Thomas cook up are a fair reflection of the operations of both GGRC and RML. In my opinion, these are fabricated lies to mislead the owners at Deer Ridge. This video shows you why I believe that to be the case. Find the detailed math at www.DeerRidgeOwners.com/realrml Prove me wrong if you don’t believe me. But don’t be fooled by the lies and the small checks you get from RML — you are losing a LOT more money than you are netting from using RML. Help stop the bleed from RML — Now!

The UnNatural Nature Trail These photos were taken around Deer Ridge Mountain Resort, Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Most all of these were taken on April 7, 2011. In my opinion, what you are about to see is a dismal indication of gross mismanagement by Joe Thomas, General Manager, at Deer Ridge. How hard is it to have our existing maintenance personnel walk this trail at least once a week to pick up this kind of trash and debris? It SHOULD be done once per day by a competent property management company! None of our 3 or 4 maintenance staff have 15 MINUTES a WEEK for this NO COST maintenance? Inexcusable Mismanagement This kind of gross mismanagement is totally inexcusable. How do you think this kind of mismanagement comes across to your guests and tourists? How do you think this kind of mismanagement comes across to prospective buyers? It’s Been Like This For Months What you are seeing is not the result of a very recent wind storm or other act of God. What you are seeing is the state of neglect of our nature trail for MONTHS due to what I believe is irresponsible mismanagement. Virtually everything you are seeing could have been fixed for almost no cost – in less than a day. Good First Impression, Huh? Tourists see this mismanagement every time they walk the Nature Trail or walk the property. Tourists see this mismanagement every time they take their kids to the playground. Is this the image of Deer Ridge that you want your guests to have when they visit or rent from you? Get It Done – Now Solve the Nature Trail problem now. No more excuses. We WILL be watching…everything. And, we WILL be making more movies…just like this one to hold Joe Thomas and the “board” accountable.
