Sherrill Hills Retirement Resort

Overview of Sherrill Hills Retirement Resort

Set in the scenic Eastern Tennessee Valley, Sherrill Hills Retirement Resort is a 55-plus independent living community in Knoxville. It overlooks the Cumberland Mountains and the Smokies and sits within easy reach of a 30-mile greenway dotted with walking trails, perfect for occupants who cherish outdoor access and a nature-centered setting. Owned by Harvey and Jone Herd, the facility centers on an all-inclusive lifestyle model that bundles dining, housekeeping, and maintenance into daily living. The resort offers floor plans ranging from studios to two-bedroom apartments, with rooms between 566 and 1,206 square feet. Every unit has full-sized appliances, climate control, and window coverings that residents can personalize. The three-story building is tailored to establish shared spaces where occupants gather and build community. The minimum age is 55.

Central to the resort experience is dining. An executive chef prepares three meals daily with rotating menus, fresh ingredients, and health-conscious recipes. Residents who can’t attend a dining room meal can request delivery to their apartment. For snacks and light meals, a chef’s pantry is open 24/7. The home calls this the Signature Freedom Dining program. Daily life is anchored by 24-hour staff: live-in managers, a 24/7 concierge, and a lifestyle director who coordinates monthly events and activities. The shared spaces include a 150-seat theater, library, billiards room, arcade, fitness center, spa, lounge with bar, and business center. A fitness staff offers group exercise classes alongside recreational programming. For those wanting occasional diversity, a travel program lets residents visit other resort lifestyle community locations at no extra cost. Pets are welcome for free. Transportation services and beauty services are on-site. With a Walk Score of 43, the neighborhood requires a car for most errands, with some nearby services walkable.
