Hey Troy154, my husband and I live in Tennessee also. I am trying to find some information for you as I have someone who lives in Chattanooga that I am sure can provide some information as to things to do other than what I have listed below and good restaurants to eat at. But as for the lodging that is romantic with a pool/hot tub, they are married so I am sure they cannot help out there since they own a home there. Will try and post some other information when I get a email back from them, if I do. BTW, welcome to the board.
Here are some things listed in my Tennessee vacation guide. Hope this helps.
