You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below as well as the other information contained in this prospectus and incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference before buying securities in this offering. The risks described below are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business operations. Any of the following risks could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We have refocused our business strategy on the development of additional resort and convention center hotels in selected locations in the United States and on our attractions properties including the Grand Ole Opry, which are focused primarily on the country music genres, as well as our recently acquired ResortQuest vacation rental and property management business. The success of our future operating results depends on our ability to implement our business strategy by successfully operating the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee and Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center in Kissimmee, Florida and completing and successfully operating our new Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas, which is under construction, and further exploiting our attractions assets and our vacation rental business. Our ability to do this depends upon many factors, some of which are beyond our control. These include:


	•	our ability to finance and complete the construction of our new Gaylord Texan hotel in Grapevine, Texas on schedule and to achieve positive cash flow from operations within the anticipated ramp-up period;

	•	our ability to generate cash flows from existing operations;

	•	our ability to hire and retain hotel management, catering and convention-related staff for our hotels and staff for our vacation rental offices;

	•	our ability to capitalize on the strong brand recognition of certain of our media assets; and

	•	the continued popularity and demand for country music.

Our ability to continue to successfully operate the Gaylord Opryland, the Gaylord Palms and our new Gaylord Texan hotel in Grapevine, Texas upon its completion, as well as our ability to operate our ResortQuest vacation rental business, is subject to factors beyond our control which could adversely impact these properties. These factors include:


	•	the desirability and perceived attractiveness of the Nashville, Tennessee area; the Orlando, Florida area; and the Dallas, Texas area as tourist and convention destinations;

	•	adverse changes in the national economy and in the levels of tourism and convention business that would affect our hotels or vacation rental properties we manage;

	•	the hotel and convention business is highly competitive and Gaylord Palms is operating, and our new Gaylord Texan hotel will operate, in extremely competitive markets for convention and tourism business;

	•	our group convention business is subject to reduced levels of demand during the year-end holiday periods, and we may not be able to attract sufficient general tourism guests to offset this seasonality; and

	•	the vacation rental and property management business is highly competitive and has low barriers to entry, and we compete primarily with local vacation rental and property management companies located in its markets, some of whom are affiliated with the owners or operators of resorts where


		these competitors provide their services or which may have lower cost structures and may provide their services at lower rates.

On November 20, 2003, we acquired ResortQuest International, Inc., a leading provider of vacation condominium and home rental property management services in premier destination resort locations in the United States and Canada in a stock-for-stock transaction. The ResortQuest acquisition involves the integration of two companies that previously have operated independently, which is a complex, costly and time-consuming process. The process of integrating operations could cause an interruption of, or loss of momentum in, the activities of the combined company’s business and the loss of key personnel. The diversion of management’s attention and any delays or difficulties encountered in connection with the ResortQuest acquisition and the integration of the two companies’ operations could harm the business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects of the combined company. In addition, we may be unable to achieve the anticipated cost savings from the ResortQuest acquisition for many reasons. Gaylord and ResortQuest have incurred substantial expenses, such as legal, accounting and financial advisor fees, in connection with the acquisition.

As part of our growth plans, we may open or acquire new hotels in geographic areas in which we have little or no operating experience and in which potential customers may not be familiar with our business. As a result, we may have to incur costs relating to the opening, operation and promotion of those new hotel properties that are substantially greater than those incurred in other areas. Even though we may incur substantial additional costs with these new hotel properties, they may attract fewer customers than our existing hotels. As a result, the results of operations at new hotel properties may be inferior to those of our existing hotels. The new hotels may even operate at a loss. Even if we are able to attract enough customers to our new hotel properties to operate them at a profit, it is possible that those customers could simply be moving future meetings or conventions from our existing hotel properties to our new hotel properties. Thus, the opening of a new hotel property could reduce the revenue of our existing hotel properties.

We intend to develop additional hotel properties as suitable opportunities arise, taking into consideration the general economic climate. New project development has a number of risks, including risks associated with:


	•	construction delays or cost overruns that may increase project costs;

	•	construction defects or noncompliance with construction specifications;

	•	receipt of zoning, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations;

	•	development costs incurred for projects that are not pursued to completion;

	•	so-called acts of God such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods or fires that could adversely impact a project;

	•	the availability and cost of capital; and

	•	governmental restrictions on the nature or size of a project or timing of completion.

In particular, the terms of our new revolving credit facility require us to achieve substantial completion and initial opening of the Gaylord Texan by June 30, 2004. We cannot assure you that any development project will be completed on time or within budget.

Because we own hotels and attractions properties, we are subject to the risks that generally relate to investments in real property. The investment returns available from equity investments in real estate depend in large part on the amount of income earned and capital appreciation generated by the related properties, as well as the expenses incurred. In addition, a variety of other factors affect income from properties and real estate values, including governmental regulations, insurance, zoning, tax and eminent domain laws, interest rate levels and the availability of financing. For example, new or existing real estate zoning or tax laws can make it more expensive and/or time-consuming to develop real property or expand, modify or renovate properties. When interest rates increase, the cost of acquiring, developing, expanding or renovating real property increases and real property values may decrease as the number of potential buyers decreases. Similarly, as financing becomes less available, it becomes more difficult both to acquire and to sell real property. Finally, governments can, under eminent domain laws, take real property. Sometimes this taking is for less compensation than the owner believes the property is worth. Any of these factors could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations or financial condition. In addition, equity real estate investments, such as the investments we hold and any additional properties that we may acquire, are relatively difficult to sell quickly. If our properties do not generate revenue sufficient to meet operating expenses, including debt service and capital expenditures, our income will be adversely affected.

Our existing hotel properties are located predominately in the southeastern United States. As a result, our business and our financial operating results may be materially affected by adverse economic, weather or business conditions in the Southeast. In addition, our ResortQuest vacation rental business manages properties that are significantly concentrated in beach and island resorts located in Florida and Hawaii and mountain resorts located in Colorado. Adverse events or conditions which affect these areas in particular, such as economic recession, changes in regional travel patterns, extreme weather conditions or natural disasters, may have an adverse impact on our ResortQuest operations.

We are subject to the risk that our results of operations may be adversely affected by legal or governmental proceedings brought by or on behalf of our employees or customers. In recent years, a number of hospitality companies have been subject to lawsuits, including class action lawsuits, alleging violations of federal and state law regarding workplace and employment matters, discrimination and similar matters. A number of these lawsuits have resulted in the payment of substantial damages by the defendants. Similar lawsuits have been instituted against us from time to time, and we cannot assure you that we will not incur substantial damages and expenses resulting from lawsuits of this type, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Environmental laws, ordinances and regulations of various federal, state, local and foreign governments regulate certain of our properties and could make us liable for the costs of removing or cleaning up hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in the properties we currently own or operate or those we previously owned or operated. Those laws could impose liability without regard to whether we knew of, or were responsible for, the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. The presence of hazardous or toxic substances, or the failure to properly clean up such substances when present, could jeopardize our ability to develop, use, sell or rent the real property or to borrow using the real property as collateral. If we arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic wastes, we could be liable for the costs of removing or cleaning up wastes at the disposal or treatment facility, even if we never owned or operated that facility. Other laws, ordinances and regulations could require us to manage, abate or remove lead- or asbestos-containing materials. Similarly, the operation and closure of storage tanks are often regulated by federal, state, local and foreign laws. Finally, certain laws, ordinances and regulations, particularly those

During 2001, we appointed a new chairman and a new chief executive officer and had numerous changes in senior management. Our future performance depends upon our ability to attract qualified senior executives and to retain their services. Our future financial results also will depend upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled managerial and marketing personnel in our different areas of operation. Competition for qualified personnel is intense and is likely to increase in the future. We compete for qualified personnel against companies with significantly greater financial resources than ours.

We have certain minority investments which are not liquid and over which we have no rights, or ability, to exercise the direction or control of the respective enterprises. These include our equity interests in Bass Pro and the Nashville Predators. When we make these investments, we sometimes extend guarantees related to such investments. For example, in connection with our investment in the Nashville Predators, we agreed to guarantee, severally and jointly with other investors, up to $15.0 million of specified obligations. The ultimate value of each of these investments will be dependent upon the efforts of others over an extended period of time. The nature of our interests and the absence of a market for those interests restricts our ability to dispose of them. In addition, we may enter into joint venture arrangements. These arrangements are subject to uncertainties and risks, including those related to conflicting joint venture partner interests and to our joint venture partners failing to meet their financial or other obligations.

Our financial and operating performance may be adversely affected by acts of God, such as natural disasters or acts of terror, in locations where we own and/or operate significant properties and areas of the world from which we draw a large number of customers. Some types of losses, such as from earthquake, hurricane, terrorism and environmental hazards, may be either uninsurable or too expensive to justify insuring against. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have invested in a hotel, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the hotel. In that event, we might nevertheless remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the property. Similarly, wars (including the potential for war), terrorist activity (including threats of terrorist activity), political unrest and other forms of civil strife as well as geopolitical uncertainty have caused in the past, and may cause in the future, our results to differ materially from anticipated results.

In March 2003, we restated our historical financial statements for 2000, 2001 and the first nine months of 2002 to reflect certain non-cash changes, which resulted primarily from a change to our income tax accrual and a change in the manner in which we accounted for our investment in the Nashville Predators. We have been advised by the SEC staff that it is conducting a formal investigation into the financial results and transactions that were the subject of our restatement. We have been cooperating with the SEC staff and intend to continue to do so. Although we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the investigation, we do not currently believe that the investigation will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Nevertheless, if the SEC makes a determination adverse to us, we may face sanctions, including, but not limited to, monetary penalties and injunctive relief.

Our hotel operations are subject to numerous laws, including those relating to the preparation and sale of food and beverages, liquor service and health and safety of premises. Our vacation rental operations are also subject to licensing requirements applicable to real estate operations, laws and regulations relating to consumer protection and local ordinances. We are also subject to laws regulating our relationship with our employees in areas such as hiring and firing, minimum wage and maximum working hours, overtime and working conditions. The success of expanding our hotel operations also depends upon our obtaining necessary building permits and zoning variances from local authorities.

Through our ResortQuest vacation rental business, we provide rental and property management services to property owners pursuant to management contracts, which generally have one-year terms. The majority of such contracts contain automatic renewal provisions but also allow property owners to terminate the contract at any time. If property owners do not renew a significant number of management contracts or if we are unable to attract additional property owners, it would have a material adverse effect on our vacation rental business and financial results. In addition, although most of its contracts are exclusive, industry standards in certain geographic markets dictate that rental services be provided on a non-exclusive basis.

We have now, and will continue to have after the offering of securities under this prospectus, a significant amount of debt. As of September 30, 2003, we had $468.4 million of total debt, and stockholders’ equity of $806.3 million.

Our substantial amount of debt could have important consequences to you. For example, it could:


	•	make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations under the notes;

	•	increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

	•	require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to make interest and principal payments on our debt, thereby limiting the availability of our cash flow to fund future capital expenditures, working capital and other general corporate requirements;

	•	limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the hospitality industry, which may place us at a competitive disadvantage compared with competitors that are less leveraged;

	•	increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; and

	•	limit our ability to borrow additional funds, even when necessary to maintain adequate liquidity.

In addition, the terms of our Nashville hotel loan, our new revolving credit facility and the indenture governing our 8% senior notes allow us to incur substantial amounts of additional debt subject to certain limitations. Any such additional debt could increase the risks associated with our substantial leverage.

Debt securities we may issue hereunder, and any guarantee of the debt securities, are unsecured and therefore will be effectively subordinated to any secured debt we, or the relevant guarantor, may incur to the extent of the assets securing such debt. In the event of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving us or a guarantor, the assets which serve as collateral for any secured debt will be available to satisfy the obligations under the secured debt before any payments are made on the debt securities we may issue pursuant to this prospectus. Debt securities issued hereunder will be effectively subordinated to our Nashville hotel loans and any borrowings under our new revolving credit facility (which has approximately $88.7 million of availability) and our other secured debt. The terms of the indenture governing the notes allows us to incur substantial amounts of additional secured debt. In addition, the debt securities are effectively subordinated to the liabilities of our non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Even if debt securities issued hereunder are the subject of subsidiary guarantees, not all of our subsidiaries would guarantee debt securities issued hereunder. In particular, our subsidiary that incurred our Nashville hotel loan, and certain affiliates thereof, and all of our future unrestricted subsidiaries will not guarantee, the debt securities issued hereunder. Payments on debt securities issued under this prospectus are only required to be made by us and any subsidiary guarantors. As a result, no payments are required to be made from assets of subsidiaries that do not guarantee the debt securities, unless those assets are transferred by dividend or otherwise to us or a subsidiary guarantor. In 2002, our non-guarantor subsidiaries had revenues of $206.1 million, or 50.9% of our consolidated 2002 revenues, and loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $25.6 million. Similarly, at September 30, 2003, our non-guarantor subsidiaries had total assets of $531.5 million.

In the event that any non-guarantor subsidiary becomes insolvent, liquidates, reorganizes, dissolves or otherwise winds up, holders of its debt and its trade creditors generally will be entitled to payment on their claims from the assets of that subsidiary before any of those assets are made available to us. Consequently, your claims in respect of the debt securities guaranteed by our subsidiaries that are co-registrants hereunder are effectively subordinated to all of the liabilities of our non-guarantor subsidiaries, including trade payables. As of September 30, 2003, our non-guarantor subsidiaries had $349.6 million of debt and other liabilities (excluding intercompany liabilities).

Gaylord Entertainment Company is a holding company, and it conducts a substantial portion of its operations through its subsidiaries. As a result, its ability to meet its debt service obligations, including its obligations under debt securities it issues, substantially depends upon its subsidiaries’ cash flow and payment of funds to it by its subsidiaries as dividends, loans, advances or other payments. In addition, the payment of dividends or the making of loans, advances or other payments to Gaylord Entertainment Company may be subject to regulatory or contractual restrictions.

Our ability to make payments on, or repay or refinance, our debt, including any debt securities we may issue hereunder, and to fund planned capital expenditures will depend largely upon our future operating performance. Our future performance, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. In addition, our ability to borrow funds in the future to make payments on our debt will depend on the satisfaction of the covenants in our Nashville hotel loan and our new revolving credit facility and our other debt agreements,

including the indenture governing our 8% senior notes due 2013 and other agreements we may enter into in the future. Specifically, we will need to maintain certain financial ratios and complete construction of the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine, Texas in 2004. We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us under our new revolving credit facility or from other sources in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our debt, or to fund our other liquidity needs.

In addition, we will be required to refinance our Nashville hotel loan ($201.2 million outstanding as of September 30, 2003), which matures in 2004, subject to extension to 2006, and our new revolving credit facility which matures in 2006. At the expiration of the secured forward exchange contract relating to shares of Viacom stock we own, we will be required to incur additional debt or use any cash on hand to pay the deferred tax payable at that time. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of our debt, including our Nashville hotel loan and our new revolving credit facility or finance the deferred taxes on our Viacom stock on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we were unable to make payments or refinance our debt or obtain new financing under these circumstances, we would have to consider other options, such as:


	•	sales of assets;

	•	sales of equity; and/or

	•	negotiations with our lenders to restructure the applicable debt.

Our credit agreements, the indenture governing our 8% senior notes and the indenture governing any debt securities we issue may restrict, or market or business conditions may limit, our ability to do some of these things.

Our existing agreements, including our new revolving credit facility, our Nashville hotel loan and our 8% senior notes, impose, and future financing agreements are likely to impose, operating and financial restrictions on our activities. These restrictions require us to comply with or maintain certain financial tests and ratios, including minimum consolidated net worth, minimum interest coverage ratio and maximum leverage ratios, and limit or prohibit our ability to, among other things:


	•	incur additional debt and issue preferred stock;

	•	create liens;

	•	redeem and/or prepay certain debt;

	•	pay dividends on our stock to our stockholders or repurchase our stock;

	•	make certain investments;

	•	enter new lines of business;

	•	engage in consolidations, mergers and acquisitions;

	•	make certain capital expenditures; and

	•	pay dividends and make other distributions from our subsidiaries to us.

These restrictions on our ability to operate our business could seriously harm our business by, among other things, limiting our ability to take advantage of financing, merger and acquisition and other corporate opportunities. In addition, our new revolving credit facility requires us to meet certain conditions relating to the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine, Texas by June 30, 2004. In particular, we are required to achieve substantial completion and initial opening of the Gaylord Texan by June 30, 2004. Failure to meet these

Various risks, uncertainties and events beyond our control could affect our ability to comply with these covenants and maintain these financial tests and ratios. Failure to comply with any of the covenants in our existing or future financing agreements could result in a default under those agreements and under other agreements containing cross-default provisions. A default would permit lenders to accelerate the maturity for the debt under these agreements and to foreclose upon any collateral securing the debt. Under these circumstances, we might not have sufficient funds or other resources to satisfy all of our obligations, including our obligations under the notes. In addition, the limitations imposed by financing agreements on our ability to incur additional debt and to take other actions might significantly impair our ability to obtain other financing.

Any subsidiary guarantees of our debt securities may be subject to review under U.S. federal bankruptcy law or relevant state fraudulent conveyance laws or state laws prohibiting subsidiary guarantees or other shareholder distributions by an insolvent subsidiary if a bankruptcy lawsuit or other action is commenced by or on behalf of our or the guarantors’ unpaid creditors.

Under these laws, if in such a lawsuit a court were to find that, at the time a guarantor incurred debt (including debt represented by the guarantee), such guarantor:


	•	incurred this debt with the intent of hindering, delaying or defrauding current or future creditors; or

	•	received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for incurring this debt and the guarantor:

	•	was insolvent or was rendered insolvent by reason of the related financing transactions;

	•	was engaged, or about to engage, in a business or transaction for which its remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital to carry on its business;

	•	intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay these debts as they mature; or

	•	in some states, had assets valued at less than its liabilities, or would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business (regardless of the consideration for incurring the debt);

as all of the foregoing terms are defined in or interpreted under the relevant fraudulent transfer or conveyance statutes or shareholder distribution statute, then the court could void the guarantee or subordinate the amounts owing under the guarantee to the guarantor’s presently existing or future debt or take other actions detrimental to you.

In addition, the subsidiary guarantors may be subject to the allegation that, since they incurred their guarantees for our benefit, they incurred the obligations under the guarantees for less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration.

The measure of insolvency for purposes of the foregoing considerations will vary depending upon the law of the jurisdiction that is being applied in any such proceeding. Generally, a company would be considered insolvent if, at the time it incurred the debt or issued the guarantee:


	•	it could not pay its debts or contingent liabilities as they become due;

	•	the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, is greater than its assets, at fair valuation; or


	•	the present fair saleable value of its assets is less than the amount required to pay the probable liability on its total existing debts and liabilities, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature.

If a guarantee is voided as a fraudulent conveyance, is a prohibited distribution to the parent shareholder or found to be unenforceable for any other reason, you will not have a claim against that obligor and will only be Gaylord Entertainment Company’s creditor or that of any guarantor whose obligation was not set aside or found to be unenforceable. In addition, the loss of a guarantee may constitute a default under the indenture, which default would cause all outstanding notes to become immediately due and payable.

The terms of our outstanding 8% senior notes require us to make an offer to repurchase the notes upon the occurrence of a change of control at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any, to the date of the purchase. The terms of our new revolving credit facility may require, and other financing arrangements may require, repayment of amounts outstanding in the event of a change of control and limit our ability to fund the repurchase of the 8% notes in certain circumstances. It is possible that we will not have sufficient funds at the time of the change of control to make the required repurchase of notes or that restrictions in our new revolving credit facility and other financing agreements will not allow the repurchases.

In recent periods, there has been significant volatility in the market price for our publicly traded common stock. In addition, the market price of our publicly traded equity securities could fluctuate substantially in the future in response to a number of factors, including the following:


	•	our quarterly operating results or the operating results of other hospitality companies;

	•	changes in general conditions in the economy, the financial markets or the hospitality or vacation rental industry;

	•	changes in financial estimates or recommendations by stock market analysts regarding us or our competitors;

	•	announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions;

	•	increases in labor and other costs; and

	•	natural disasters, riots or other developments affecting us or our competitors.

In addition, in recent years the stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market prices of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance. These broad market fluctuations may materially adversely affect our stock price, regardless of our operating results.

Depending upon the particular circumstances of the plan, an investment in our securities may not be an appropriate investment for an ERISA (as hereinafter defined) plan, a qualified plan or individual retirement accounts and individual retirement annuities (collectively, “IRAs”). The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), is a broad statutory framework that governs most non-governmental employee benefit plans in the United States. In deciding whether to purchase any of our securities, a fiduciary of a pension, profit-sharing or other employee benefit plan subject to ERISA (an

“ERISA Plan”), in consultation with its advisors, should carefully consider its fiduciary responsibilities under ERISA, the prohibited transactions rules of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the effect of the “plan asset” regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Labor.

The Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could delay, deter or prevent a change in control of our company or our management. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for you and other stockholders to elect directors and take other corporate actions. These provisions:


	•	authorize us to issue “blank check” preferred stock, which is preferred stock that can be created and issued by our board of directors, without stockholder approval, with rights senior to those of common stock;

	•	provide that directors may only be removed with cause by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes of shares entitled to vote thereon; and

	•	establish advance notice requirements for submitting nominations for election to the board of directors and for proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at a meeting.

We are also subject to anti-takeover provisions under Delaware law, which could also delay or prevent a change of control. Together, these provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and Delaware law may discourage transactions that otherwise could provide for the payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for publicly traded equity securities, and also could limit the price that investors are willing to pay in the future for shares of our publicly traded equity securities.

Our board of directors has the power to issue up to 100.0 million shares of preferred stock without any action on the part of our stockholders. As of September 30, 2003, we had no shares of preferred stock outstanding. Our board of directors also has the power, without stockholder approval, to set the terms of any new series of preferred stock that may be issued, including voting rights, dividend rights, preferences over our common stock with respect to dividends or in the event of a dissolution, liquidation or winding up and other terms. In the event that we issue additional shares of preferred stock in the future that have preference over our common stock with respect to payment of dividends or upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or if we issue preferred stock with voting rights that dilute the voting power of our common stock, the rights of the holders of our common stock or the market price of our common stock could be adversely affected. In addition, the ability of our board of directors to issue shares of preferred stock without any action on the part of our stockholders may impede a takeover of us and prevent a transaction favorable to our stockholders.

Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through future offerings of equity securities.

The prospectus contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 2lE of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws. Forward-looking statements may include the words “may,” “will,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends” and similar expressions. Although we believe that such statements are based on reasonable assumptions, these forward-looking statements are subject to numerous factors, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those projected or assumed in our forward-looking statements. These factors, risks and uncertainties include, among others, the following:


	•	the potential adverse effect of our debt on our cash flow and our ability to fulfill our obligations under the notes;

	•	the availability of debt and equity financing on terms that are favorable to us;

	•	the challenges associated with the integration of ResortQuest’s operations into our operations;

	•	general economic and market conditions and economic and market conditions related to the hotel and large group meetings and convention industry;

	•	the timing, budgeting and other factors and risks relating to new hotel development, including our ability to open the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine, Texas;

	•	our restatement of our financial results and the related SEC investigation;

	•	the possibility that an active market may not develop for the securities we sell pursuant to this prospectus and therefore hinder your ability to liquidate your investment; and

	•	other risks that are described in “Risk Factors.”

Our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements. We can give no assurances that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will occur or, if any of them do, what impact they will have on our results of operations and financial condition. Except as required by law, we do not intend, and we undertake no obligation, to update any forward-looking statement. We urge you to review carefully “Risk Factors” in this prospectus for a more complete discussion of the risks of an investment in our securities.

We are the only hospitality company focused primarily on the large group meetings segment of the lodging market. Our hospitality business includes our Gaylord branded hotels consisting of the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee, the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center near Orlando, Florida and the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center near Dallas, Texas (scheduled completion date: April 2004). We also own and operate the Radisson Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee. Driven by our “All in One Place” strategy, our award-winning Gaylord branded hotels incorporate not only high quality lodging, but also significant meeting, convention and exhibition space, superb food and beverage options and retail facilities within a single self-contained property. As a result, our properties provide a convenient and entertaining environment for our convention guests. In addition, our custom-tailored, all-inclusive solutions cater to the unique needs of meeting planners.

In order to strengthen and diversify our hospitality business, on November 20, 2003, we acquired ResortQuest International, Inc. in a stock-for-stock transaction. ResortQuest is a leading provider of vacation condominium and home rental property management services in premier destination resort locations in the United States and Canada, with a branded network of vacation rental properties. ResortQuest currently offers management services to approximately 20,000 vacation rental properties.

In addition to our hospitality business, we own and operate several attractions in Nashville, including the Grand Ole Opry, a live country music variety show, which is the nation’s longest running radio show and an icon in country music. Our local Nashville attractions provide entertainment opportunities for Nashville-area residents and visitors, including our Nashville hotel and convention guests, while adding to our destination appeal.

Our operations are organized into four principal business segments: (i) Hospitality, which includes our hotel operations; (ii) Opry and Attractions Group, which includes our Nashville attractions and assets related to the Grand Ole Opry; (iii) ResortQuest, which is our vacation rental and property management business; and (iv) Corporate and Other, which includes corporate expenses and results from our minority investments.

Our executive offices are located at One Gaylord Drive, Nashville, Tennessee 37214. Our telephone number is (615) 316-6000. Our website address is http://www.gaylordentertainment.com. Information on our website is not a part of this prospectus.

Except as otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities for general corporate purposes, which may include reducing our outstanding indebtedness, increasing our working capital, acquisitions and capital expenditures. Pending the application of the net proceeds, we expect to invest the proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing instruments or other investment-grade securities.

The ratio of earnings to fixed charges below is computed by dividing (a) the sum of income from continuing operations before income taxes, plus fixed charges, plus amortization of capitalized interest, less interest capitalized, by (b) fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, including capitalized interest, amortization of debt issuance costs and a portion of operating lease rental expense deemed to be representative of the interest factor. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges. The amount of

We, directly or through agents, dealers or underwriters designated from time to time, may offer, issue and sell, together or separately, up to $500,000,000 in aggregate offering price of:


	•	secured or unsecured debt securities, in one or more series, which may be either senior debt securities, senior subordinated debt securities or subordinated debt securities;

	•	guarantees of our obligations under the debt securities;

	•	shares of our preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, in one or more classes or series;

	•	shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, in one or more classes;

	•	warrants to purchase our common stock; or

	•	any combination of the foregoing, either individually or as units consisting of one or more of the foregoing, each on terms to be determined at the time of sale.

We may issue the debt securities as exchangeable and/or convertible debt securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of common stock or preferred stock. The preferred stock may also be exchangeable for and/or convertible into shares of common stock or another series of preferred stock. The debt securities, the guarantees, the preferred stock, the common stock and the warrants are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities.” When a particular series of Securities is offered, a supplement to this prospectus will be delivered with this prospectus, which will set forth the terms of the offering and sale of the offered Securities.

We summarize below some of the provisions that will apply to the debt securities unless the applicable prospectus supplement provides otherwise. This summary may not contain all information that is important to you. The complete terms of the debt securities will be contained in the applicable notes. The notes have been or will be included or incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. You should read the provisions of the notes. You should also read the prospectus supplement, which will contain additional information and which may update or change some of the information below.

The terms of each series of debt securities will be established by or pursuant to (a) a supplemental indenture, (b) a resolution of our board of directors, or (c) an officers’ certificate pursuant to authority granted under a resolution of our board of directors. The particular terms of each series of debt securities will be described in a prospectus supplement relating to such series (including any pricing supplement). In the event of any discrepancy or conflict between the terms of a particular series of debt securities as set forth in a prospectus supplement and the terms described in this prospectus, the terms set forth in the prospectus supplement will govern such series.

We can issue an unlimited amount of debt securities under the indenture. Such debt securities may be issued in one or more series, with the same or various maturities, at par, at a premium, or at a discount. We will set forth in a prospectus supplement (including any pricing supplement) relating to any series of debt securities being offered, the aggregate principal amount and the following terms of the debt securities:


	•	the title of the debt securities;

	•	the price or prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) at which we will sell the debt securities;

	•	any limit on the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities;

	•	the date or dates on which we will pay the principal on the debt securities;

	•	the rate or rates (which may be fixed or variable) per annum or the method used to determine the rate or rates (including any commodity, commodity index, stock exchange index or financial index) at which the debt securities will bear interest, the date or dates from which interest will accrue, the date or dates on which interest will commence and be payable and any regular record date for the interest payable on any interest payment date;

	•	the place or places where principal of, premium and interest on the debt securities will be payable;

	•	the terms and conditions upon which we may redeem the debt securities;

	•	any obligation we have to redeem or purchase the debt securities pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous provisions or at the option of a holder of debt securities;

	•	the dates on which and the price or prices at which we will repurchase debt securities at the option of the holders of debt securities and other detailed terms and provisions of these repurchase obligations;

	•	the denominations in which the debt securities will be issued, if other than denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof;

	•	whether the debt securities will be issued in the form of certificated debt securities or global debt securities;

	•	the portion of principal amount of the debt securities payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity date, if other than the principal amount;

	•	the currency of denomination of the debt securities;

	•	the designation of the currency, currencies or currency units in which payment of principal of, premium and interest on the debt securities will be made;

	•	if payments of principal of, premium or interest on the debt securities will be made in one or more currencies or currency units other than that or those in which the debt securities are denominated, the manner in which the exchange rate with respect to these payments will be determined;

	•	the manner in which the amounts of payment of principal of, premium or interest on the debt securities will be determined, if these amounts may be determined by reference to an index based on a currency or currencies other than that in which the debt securities are denominated or designated to be payable or by reference to a commodity, commodity index, stock exchange index or financial index;

	•	any provisions relating to any security provided for the debt securities;

	•	any addition to or change in the “Events of Default” described in this prospectus or in the indenture with respect to the debt securities and any change in the acceleration provisions described in this prospectus or in the indenture with respect to the debt securities;


	•	any addition to or change in the covenants described in this prospectus or in the indenture with respect to the debt securities;

	•	any other terms of the debt securities, which may modify or delete any provision of the indenture as it applies to that series; and

	•	any depositaries, interest rate calculation agents, exchange rate calculation agents or other agents with respect to the debt securities.

In addition, the indenture does not limit our ability to issue convertible or subordinated debt securities. Any conversion or subordination provisions of a particular series of debt securities will be set forth in the supplemental indenture, board resolution or officer’s certificate related to that series of debt securities and will be described in the relevant prospectus supplement. Such terms may include provisions for conversion, either mandatory, at the option of the holder or at our option, in which case the number of shares of common stock or other securities to be received by the holders of debt securities would be calculated as of a time and in the manner stated in the prospectus supplement.

We may issue debt securities that provide for an amount less than their stated principal amount to be due and payable upon declaration of acceleration of their maturity pursuant to the terms of the indenture. We will provide you with information on the federal income tax considerations and other special considerations applicable to any of these debt securities in the applicable prospectus supplement.

If we denominate the purchase price of any of the debt securities in a foreign currency or currencies or a foreign currency unit or units, or if the principal of and any premium and interest on any series of debt securities is payable in a foreign currency or currencies or a foreign currency unit or units, we will provide you with information on the restrictions, elections, general tax considerations, specific terms and other information with respect to that issue of debt securities and such foreign currency or currencies or foreign currency unit or units in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Each debt security will be represented by either (a) one or more global securities registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company, as Depositary (the “Depositary”), or a nominee (we will refer to any debt security represented by a global debt security as a “book-entry debt security”), or (b) a certificate issued in definitive registered form (we will refer to any debt security represented by a certificated security as a “certificated debt security”) as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Except as set forth under the heading “Global Debt Securities and Book-Entry System” below, book-entry debt securities will not be issuable in certificated form.

Certificated Debt Securities. You may transfer or exchange certificated debt securities at any office we maintain for this purpose in accordance with the terms of the indenture. No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of certificated debt securities, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with a transfer or exchange.

You may effect the transfer of certificated debt securities and the right to receive the principal of, premium and interest on certificated debt securities only by surrendering the certificate representing those certificated debt securities and either reissuance by us or the trustee of the certificate to the new holder or the issuance by us or the trustee of a new certificate to the new holder.

Global Debt Securities and Book-Entry System. Each global debt security representing book-entry debt securities will be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depositary, and registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary.

The Depositary has indicated it intends to follow the following procedures with respect to book-entry debt securities.

Ownership of beneficial interests in book-entry debt securities will be limited to persons that have accounts with the Depositary for the related global debt security (“participants”) or persons that may hold

interests through participants. Upon the issuance of a global debt security, the Depositary will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the participants’ accounts with the respective principal amounts of the book-entry debt securities represented by such global debt security beneficially owned by such participants. The accounts to be credited will be designated by any dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the book-entry debt securities. Ownership of book-entry debt securities will be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary for the related global debt security (with respect to interests of participants) and on the records of participants (with respect to interests of persons holding through participants). The laws of some states may require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. These laws may impair the ability to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in book-entry debt securities.

So long as the Depositary for a global debt security, or its nominee, is the registered owner of that global debt security, the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the book-entry debt securities represented by such global debt security for all purposes under the indenture. Except as described below, beneficial owners of book-entry debt securities will not be entitled to have securities registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of a certificate in definitive form representing securities and will not be considered the owners or holders of those securities under the indenture. Accordingly, each person beneficially owning book-entry debt securities must rely on the procedures of the Depositary for the related global debt security and, if such person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the indenture.

We understand that under existing industry practice, the Depositary will authorize the persons on whose behalf it holds a global debt security to exercise certain rights of holders of debt securities, and the indenture provides that we, the trustee and our respective agents will treat as the holder of a debt security the persons specified in a written statement of the Depositary with respect to that global debt security for purposes of obtaining any consents or directions required to be given by holders of the debt securities pursuant to the indenture.

We will make payments of principal of, and premium and interest on book-entry debt securities to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered holder of the related global debt security. We, the trustee and any other agent of ours or agent of the trustee will not have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a global debt security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to beneficial ownership interests.

We expect that the Depositary, upon receipt of any payment of principal of, premium or interest on a global debt security, will immediately credit participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to the respective amounts of book-entry debt securities held by each participant as shown on the records of such Depositary. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in book-entry debt securities held through those participants will be governed by standing customer instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with the securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of those participants.

We will issue certificated debt securities in exchange for each global debt security if the Depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor Depositary registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act is not appointed by us within 90 days. In addition, we may at any time and in our sole discretion determine not to have the book-entry debt securities of any series represented by one or more global debt securities and, in that event, will issue certificated debt securities in exchange for the global debt securities of that series. Global debt securities will also be exchangeable by the holders for certificated debt securities if an Event of Default with respect to the book-entry debt securities represented by those global debt securities has occurred and is continuing. Any certificated debt securities issued in exchange for a global debt security will be registered in such name or names as the Depositary shall instruct the trustee. We

We have obtained the foregoing information concerning the Depositary and the Depositary’s book-entry system from sources we believe to be reliable, but we take no responsibility for the accuracy of this information.

Unless otherwise provided by the terms of an applicable series of debt securities, the debt securities will not contain any provisions which may afford holders of the debt securities protection in the event we have a change in control or in the event of a highly leveraged transaction (whether or not such transaction results in a change in control) which could adversely affect holders of debt securities.

We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement any restrictive covenants applicable to any issue of debt securities.

Unless otherwise provided by the terms of an applicable series of debt securities, we may not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our properties and assets to, any person (a “successor person”) unless:


	•	we are the surviving corporation or the successor person (if other than us) is a corporation organized and validly existing under the laws of any U.S. domestic jurisdiction and expressly assumes our obligations on the debt securities and under the indenture;

	•	immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Default or Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing under the indenture; and

	•	certain other conditions are met.

Unless otherwise provided by the terms of an applicable series of debt securities, an “Event of Default” means any of the following with respect to a series of debt securities:


	•	default in the payment of any interest upon any debt security of that series when it becomes due and payable for 30 days;

	•	default in the payment of principal of or premium on any debt security of that series when due and payable;

	•	default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, if any, when and as due in respect of any debt security of that series;

	•	certain defaults under certain of our and our subsidiaries’ mortgages, indentures or instruments under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any debt for money borrowed;

	•	certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of ours; and

	•	any other Event of Default provided with respect to debt securities of that series that is described in the applicable prospectus supplement accompanying this prospectus.

No Event of Default with respect to a particular series of debt securities (except as to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization) necessarily constitutes an Event of Default with respect to any other series of debt securities. The occurrence of an Event of Default may constitute an event of default

under our bank credit agreements in existence from time to time. In addition, the occurrence of certain Events of Default or an acceleration under the indenture may constitute an event of default under certain of our other indebtedness outstanding from time to time.

Unless otherwise provided by the terms of an applicable series of debt securities, if an Event of Default with respect to debt securities of any series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may, by a notice in writing to us (and to the trustee if given by the holders), declare to be due and payable immediately the principal (or, if the debt securities of that series are discount securities, that portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all debt securities of that series. In the case of an Event of Default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the principal (or such specified amount) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding debt securities will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holder of outstanding debt securities. At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to debt securities of any series has been made, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the trustee, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may rescind and annul the acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal and interest, if any, with respect to debt securities of that series, have been cured or waived as provided in the indenture. We refer you to the prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities that are discount securities for the particular provisions relating to acceleration of a portion of the principal amount of such discount securities upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.

The indenture provides that the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request of any holder of outstanding debt securities, unless the trustee receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. Subject to certain rights of the trustee, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee with respect to the debt securities of that series.

No holder of any debt security of any series will have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy under the indenture, unless:


	•	that holder has previously given to the trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to debt securities of that series; and

	•	the holders of at least a 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made written request, and offered reasonable indemnity, to the trustee to institute the proceeding as trustee, and the trustee has not received from the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series a direction inconsistent with that request and has failed to institute the proceeding within 60 days.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holder of any debt security will have an absolute and unconditional right to receive payment of the principal of, premium and any interest on that debt security on or after the due dates expressed in that debt security and to institute suit for the enforcement of payment.

The indenture requires us, within 120 days after the end of our fiscal year, to furnish to the trustee a statement as to compliance with the indenture. The indenture provides that the trustee may withhold notice to the holders of debt securities of any series of any Default or Event of Default (except in payment on any debt securities of that series) with respect to debt securities of that series if it in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the holders of those debt securities.

Unless otherwise provided by the terms of an applicable series of debt securities, we may modify and amend the indenture with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of a series affected by the modifications or amendments. We may not make any modification or amendment without the consent of the holders of each affected debt security then outstanding if that amendment will:


	•	change the amount of debt securities whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

	•	reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest (including default interest) on any debt security;

	•	reduce the principal of or premium on or change the fixed maturity of any debt security or alter or waive any of the provisions with respect to the redemption of debt securities;

	•	reduce the principal amount of discount securities payable upon acceleration of maturity;

	•	waive a default in the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on any debt security (except a rescission of acceleration of the debt securities of any series by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of that series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

	•	make the principal of or premium or interest on any debt security payable in currency other than that stated in the debt security;

	•	make any change to certain provisions of the indenture relating to, among other things, the right of holders of debt securities to receive payment of the principal of, premium and interest on those debt securities and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment and to waivers or amendments; or

	•	waive a redemption payment with respect to any debt security or change any of the provisions with respect to the redemption of any debt securities.

Except for certain specified provisions, the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all debt securities of that series waive our compliance with provisions of the indenture. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all the debt securities of such series waive any past default under the indenture with respect to that series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, premium or any interest on any debt security of that series or in respect of a covenant or provision which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security of the series affected; provided, however, that the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from the acceleration.

Defeasance of Debt Securities and Certain Covenants in Certain Circumstances

Legal Defeasance. The indenture provides that, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the applicable series of debt securities, we may be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the debt securities of any series (except for certain obligations to register the transfer or exchange of debt securities of such series, to replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities of such series, and to maintain paying agencies and certain provisions relating to the treatment of funds held by paying agents). We will be so discharged upon the deposit with the trustee, in trust, of cash and/or non-callable Government Securities in such amounts as will be sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants to pay and discharge each installment of principal, premium and interest on the debt securities of that series on the stated maturity of those payments in accordance with the terms of the indenture and those debt securities.

This discharge may occur only if, among other things, we have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel stating that we have received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling or, since the date of execution of the indenture, there has been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the holders of the debt securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred.

Defeasance of Certain Covenants. The indenture provides that, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the applicable series of debt securities, upon compliance with certain conditions:


	•	we may omit to comply with the covenant described under the heading “Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets” and certain other covenants set forth in the indenture, as well as any additional covenants which may be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement; and

	•	any omission to comply with those covenants will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default with respect to the debt securities of that series (“covenant defeasance”).


	•	depositing with the trustee cash and/or non-callable Government Securities in such amounts as will be sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants to pay and discharge each installment of principal of, premium and interest on the debt securities of that series on the stated maturity of those payments in accordance with the terms of the indenture and those debt securities; and

	•	delivering to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of the debt securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and related covenant defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit and related covenant defeasance had not occurred.

Covenant Defeasance and Events of Default. In the event we exercise our option to effect covenant defeasance with respect to any series of debt securities and the debt securities of that series are declared due and payable because of the occurrence of any Event of Default, the amount of money and/or U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations on deposit with the trustee will be sufficient to pay amounts due on the debt securities of that series at the time of their stated maturity but may not be sufficient to pay amounts due on the debt securities of that series at the time of the acceleration resulting from the Event of Default. However, we shall remain liable for those payments.

“Government Securities” means, securities issued or directly and fully guaranteed or insured by the United States government or any agency or instrumentality of the United States government (provided that the full faith and credit of the United States is pledged in support of those securities), and additionally, in respect of any Series of Securities denominated in other than United States dollars, securities issued or directly and fully guaranteed or insured by the government in whose currencies such Series of Securities are denominated (which in the case of the Euro shall be deemed to include any government whose functional currency is the Euro).

The indenture and the debt securities will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York.

Our wholly owned subsidiaries listed as co-registrants on our registration statement may in whole or in part enter into guarantees of our obligations under the debt securities on terms which will be described in any applicable prospectus supplement.

The summaries of selected provisions of our common stock and preferred stock are not complete. Those summaries are subject to, and are qualified entirely by, the provisions of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and debt agreements, all of which are included or incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. You should read our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and debt agreements. The applicable prospectus supplement may also contain a summary of selected provisions of our preferred stock, common stock and debt agreements. To the extent that any particular provision described in a prospectus supplement differs from any of the provisions described in this prospectus, then the provisions described in this prospectus will be deemed to have been superseded by that prospectus supplement.

We summarize below some of the provisions that will apply to the preferred stock unless the applicable prospectus supplement provides otherwise. This summary may not contain all information that is important to you. The complete terms of the preferred stock will be contained in the prospectus supplement. You should read the prospectus supplement, which will contain additional information and which may update or change some of the information below.

We have authority to issue 100 million shares of preferred stock. As of December 31, 2003, no shares of our preferred stock were outstanding. The Gaylord board of directors, without further action by the stockholders, are authorized to issue up to 100 million shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to designate as to any such series the dividend rate, redemption prices, preferences on liquidation or dissolution, conversion rights, voting rights, and any other preferences, and relative, participating, optional, or other special rights and qualifications, limitations, or restrictions.

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any series of preferred stock being offered, including:


	•	the number of shares and designation or title of the shares;

	•	any liquidation preference per share;

	•	any date of maturity;

	•	any redemption, repayment or sinking fund provisions;

	•	any dividend rate or rates payable with respect to the shares;

	•	any voting rights;

	•	the terms and conditions upon which the preferred stock is convertible or exchangeable, if it is convertible or exchangeable;

	•	any conditions or restrictions on the creation of indebtedness by us or upon the issuance of any additional stock; and

	•	any additional preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications, or terms or conditions of redemption.

All shares of preferred stock offered will, when issued against payment of the consideration payable therefor, be fully paid and non-assessable.

We summarize below some of the provisions that will apply to the common stock unless the applicable prospectus supplement provides otherwise. This summary may not contain all information that is important to you. The complete terms of the common stock will be contained in the applicable prospectus supplement. You should read the prospectus supplement, which will contain additional information and which may update or change some of the information below.

We have authority to issue up to 150 million shares of common stock. As of January 8, 2004, 39,408,479 shares of our common stock were outstanding. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held of record on all matters on which stockholders are entitled to vote. There are no cumulative voting rights and holders of common stock do not have preemptive rights. All issued and outstanding shares of common stock are validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable. Holders of common stock are entitled to such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose. Upon dissolution, holders of common stock are entitled to share pro rata in our assets remaining after payment in full of all our liabilities and obligations, including payment of the liquidation preference, if any, of any preferred stock then outstanding.

Our board of directors, without further action by the stockholders, is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to designate as to any such series the dividend rate, redemption prices, preferences on liquidation or dissolution, conversion rights, voting rights, and any other preferences, and relative, participating, optional, or other special rights and qualifications, limitations, or restrictions. The rights of the holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be affected adversely by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. Issuance of a new series of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions or other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting stock.

We have appointed SunTrust Bank, Atlanta, Georgia as the Transfer Agent and Registrar for our common stock.

Applicable law requires that the total percentage of shares of our capital stock owned of record or voted by non-United States persons or entities shall not exceed 25% and contains certain other restrictions on stock ownership. Under Article IV(D) of the certificate of incorporation, we have the right to prohibit the ownership or voting, or to redeem outstanding shares, of our capital stock if the board of directors determines that such prohibition or redemption is necessary to prevent the loss or secure the reinstatement of any governmental license or franchise held by us or to otherwise comply with the Communications Act of 1934 or any other similar legislation affecting us.

We are a Delaware corporation and are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). In general, Section 203 provides that a Delaware corporation may not, for a period of three years, engage in any of a broad range of business combinations with a person or affiliate or associate of such person who is an “interested stockholder” (defined generally as a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years, did own) 15% or more of a corporation’s outstanding voting stock) unless: (a) the transaction resulting in a person’s becoming an interested stockholder, or the business combination, is approved by the board of directors of the corporation before the person becomes an interested stockholder, (b) the interested

stockholder acquires 85% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation (excluding shares owned by certain persons) in the same transaction that makes it an interested stockholder or (c) the business combination is approved by the corporation’s board of directors and by the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

Certain provisions of the certificate of incorporation and our bylaws could have an anti-takeover effect. These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our board of directors and in the policies formulated by our board of directors and to discourage certain types of transactions described below, which may involve an actual or threatened change of control. The provisions are designed to reduce the vulnerability of our company to an unsolicited proposal for a takeover that does not contemplate the acquisition of all of our outstanding shares or an unsolicited proposal for the restructuring or sale of all or part of our company. The provisions are also intended to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. Our board of directors believes that, as a general rule, such takeover proposals would not be in the best interests of our company and our stockholders.

The certificate of incorporation provides that no action may be taken by stockholders except at an annual or special meeting of stockholders and prohibits action by written consent in lieu of a meeting. The certificate of incorporation provides that special meetings of stockholders may be called only by the Chairman or by a majority of the members of our board of directors. This provision will make it more difficult for stockholders to take action opposed by our board of directors.

The bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for the nomination, other than by or at the direction of our board of directors or a committee thereof, of candidates for election as directors as well as for other stockholder proposals to be considered at stockholders’ annual meetings. These limitations on stockholder proposals do not restrict a stockholder’s right to include proposals in our annual meeting proxy materials pursuant to rules promulgated under the Exchange Act. The purpose of requiring advance notice is to afford our board of directors an opportunity to consider the qualifications of the proposed nominees or the merits of other stockholder proposals and, to the extent deemed necessary or desirable by our board of directors, to inform stockholders about those matters.

The certificate of incorporation requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of our capital stock in order to amend certain of its provisions, including any provisions concerning (a) the election and removal of directors, (b) the amendment of the bylaws, (c) any proposed compromise or arrangement between us and our creditors, (d) the withholding of the rights of stockholders to act by written consent or to call a special meeting, (e) the limitations of liability of directors and indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents and (f) the percentage of votes represented by capital stock required to approve certain amendments to the certificate of incorporation. These voting requirements will make it more difficult for stockholders to make changes in the certificate of incorporation that would be designed to facilitate the exercise of control over our company. In addition, the requirement of approval by at least a 66 2/3% stockholder vote will enable the holders of a minority of the voting securities of the Company to prevent the holders of a majority or more of such securities from amending such provisions.

In addition, the certificate of incorporation provides that stockholders may only amend the bylaws by the affirmative vote of 66 2/3% of our outstanding voting stock.

Pursuant to authority conferred by the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation contains a provision providing that no director shall be liable to the company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent that such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as then in effect or as the same may be amended. This provision is intended to eliminate the risk that a director might incur personal liability to us or our stockholders for breach of the duty of care.

DGCL Section 145 contains provisions permitting, and in some situations requiring, Delaware corporations, such as Gaylord, to provide indemnification to their officers and directors for losses and litigation expenses incurred in connection with their service to the corporation in those capacities. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions requiring indemnification by the company of, and advancement of expenses to, its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law. Among other things, these provisions generally provide indemnification for our officers and directors against liabilities for judgments in and settlements of lawsuits and other proceedings and for the advance and payment of fees and expenses reasonably incurred by the director or officer in defense of any such lawsuit or proceeding if the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of our company, and in certain cases, only if the director or officer is not adjudged to be liable to the company.

We maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of our company, or is now or was a director or officer of the company serving at the request of the company as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the company would have the power or the obligation to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of the bylaws. Holders of common stock have no preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no conversion rights or redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to such shares. All outstanding shares of common stock are, and all shares being offered by this prospectus will be when issued against payment of the consideration payable therefor, fully paid and not liable to further calls or assessment by us.

The ability of our board of directors to issue preferred stock with provisions determined by the board of directors, and some of the provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire or take control of us. These provisions could limit the price investors may be willing to pay for our common stock, and may deprive holders of our common stock of any premium that they might otherwise realize from a takeover.

We summarize below some of the provisions that will apply to the warrants unless the applicable prospectus supplement provides otherwise. This summary may not contain all information that is important to you. The complete terms of the warrants will be contained in the applicable warrant certificate and warrant agreement. These documents have been or will be included or incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. You should read the warrant certificate and the warrant agreement. You should also read the prospectus supplement, which will contain additional information and which may update or change some of the information below.

We may issue warrants to purchase common stock independently or together with other securities. The warrants may be attached to or separate from the other securities. We may issue warrants in one or more series. Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into

The prospectus supplement and the warrant agreement relating to any series of warrants will include specific terms of the warrants. These terms include the following:


	•	the title and aggregate number of warrants;

	•	the price or prices at which the warrants will be issued;

	•	the amount of common stock for which the warrant can be exercised and the price or the manner of determining the price or other consideration to purchase the common stock;

	•	the date on which the right to exercise the warrant begins and the date on which the right expires;

	•	if applicable, the minimum or maximum amount of warrants that may be exercised at any one time;

	•	if applicable, the designation and terms of the securities with which the warrants are issued and the number of warrants issued with each other security;

	•	any provision dealing with the date on which the warrants and related securities will be separately transferable;

	•	any mandatory or optional redemption provision;

	•	the identity of the warrant agent; and

	•	any other terms of the warrants.

The warrants will be represented by certificates. The warrants may be exchanged under the terms outlined in the warrant agreement. We will not charge any service charges for any transfer or exchange of warrant certificates, but we may require payment for tax or other governmental charges in connection with the exchange or transfer. Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, until a warrant is exercised, a holder will not be entitled to any payments on or have any rights with respect to the common stock acquirable upon exercise of such warrant.

To exercise the warrants, the holder must provide the warrant agent with the following:


	•	payment of the exercise price;

	•	any required information described on the warrant certificates;

	•	the number of warrants to be exercised;

	•	an executed and completed warrant certificate; and

	•	any other items required by the warrant agreement.

If a warrant holder exercises only part of the warrants represented by a single certificate, the warrant agent will issue a new warrant certificate for any warrants not exercised. Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, no fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of warrants, but we will pay the cash value of any fractional shares otherwise issuable.

The exercise price and the number of shares of common stock for which each warrant can be exercised will be adjusted upon the occurrence of events described in the warrant agreement, including the issuance of a common stock dividend or a combination, subdivision or reclassification of common stock. Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, no adjustment will be required until cumulative adjustments require an adjustment of at least 1%. From time to time, we may reduce the exercise price as may be provided in the warrant agreement.

Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, if we enter into any consolidation, merger, or sale or conveyance of our property as an entirety, the holder of each outstanding warrant will have the right to acquire the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, property or cash receivable by a holder of the number of shares of common stock into which the warrants were exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of the event.

The common stock warrant agreement will permit us and the warrant agent, without the consent of the warrant holders, to supplement or amend the agreement in the following circumstances:


	•	to cure any ambiguity;

	•	to correct or supplement any provision which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions; or

	•	to add new provisions regarding matters or questions that we and the warrant agent may deem necessary or desirable and which do not adversely affect the interests of the warrant holders.

We may sell the securities to one or more underwriters for public offering and sale by them and may also sell the securities to investors directly or through agents. Any such underwriter or agent involved in the offer and sale of securities will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement. We have reserved the right to sell securities directly to investors on our own behalf in those jurisdictions where and in such manner as we are authorized to do so.

The distribution of the securities may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices. Sales of common stock or preferred stock may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) or in negotiated transactions or a combination of those methods. We may also, from time to time, authorize dealers, acting as our agents, to offer and sell securities upon the terms and conditions as are set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. In connection with the sale of securities, underwriters may receive compensation from us in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions and may also receive commissions from purchasers of the securities for whom they may act as agent. Underwriters may sell securities to or through dealers, and those dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agent. Any underwriter, dealer or agent will be identified, and any compensation received from us will be described in the prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, an agent will be acting on a best efforts basis and a dealer will purchase securities as a principal, and may then resell such securities at varying prices to be determined by the dealer.

Any underwriting compensation paid by us to underwriters or agents in connection with the offering of securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers, will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Dealers and agents participating in the distribution of securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. Underwriters, dealers and agents may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us, to indemnification against and contribution toward certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to reimbursement by us or a selling stockholder for expenses.

To facilitate an offering of a series of securities, persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain, or otherwise affect the price of the securities. This may include over-allotments or short sales of the securities, which involves the sale by persons participating in the offering of more securities than have been sold to them by us. In those circumstances, such persons would cover such over-allotments or short positions by purchasing in the open market or by exercising the over-allotment option granted to those persons. In addition, those persons may stabilize or maintain the price of the securities by bidding for or purchasing securities in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to underwriters or dealers participating in any such offering may be reclaimed if securities sold by them are repurchased in connection with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

Certain of the underwriters, dealers or agents and their associates may engage in transactions with and perform services for us in the ordinary course of business.

Any common stock sold pursuant to this prospectus will be listed on the NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance.

Certain legal matters with respect to securities offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Bass, Berry & Sims PLC, Nashville, Tennessee, and by Carter R. Todd, Esq., Senior Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel of the Company, as to certain of our subsidiaries.

Ernst & Young LLP, independent auditors, have audited Gaylord’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002 included in Gaylord’s current report on Form 8-K filed January 9, 2004 as set forth in their report, which is incorporated by reference in this registration statement (Form S-3). Ernst & Young LLP, independent auditors, have also audited certain Gaylord financial statement schedules included in Gaylord’s Annual Report (Form 10-K) for the year ended December 31, 2002, as set forth in their report dated February 5, 2003, which is incorporated by reference in this registration statement (Form S-3). Our financial statements and schedules are incorporated by reference in reliance on Ernst & Young LLP’s reports, given on their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

We have not authorized any person to give any information or to make any representation in connection with this offering other than those contained in this prospectus, and, if given or made, such information or representation must not be relied upon as having been so authorized. This prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy by anyone in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is not authorized, or in which the person is not qualified to do so or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation. Neither the delivery of this prospectus nor any sale hereunder shall, under any circumstances, create any implication that there has been no change in our affairs since the date hereof or that the information contained herein is correct as of any time subsequent to its date.

The expenses to be paid by us in connection with the distribution of the securities being registered are as set forth in the following table:

The following registrants are, as specified below, corporations, limited liability companies or limited partnerships organized under the laws of the State of Delaware: Gaylord Entertainment Company (the “Company”), Gaylord Creative Group, Inc., Gaylord Investments, Inc., Gaylord Program Services, Inc., Opryland Attractions, Inc., Opryland Theatricals, Inc., ResortQuest International, Inc., Base Mountain Properties, Inc., Coastal Resorts Management, Inc., Coates, Reid & Waldron, Inc., CRW Property Management, Inc., Exclusive Vacation Properties, Inc., High Country Resorts, Inc., K-T-F Acquisition Co., Mountain Valley Properties, Inc., Plantation Resort Management, Inc., ResortQuest Hilton Head, Inc., Ridgepine, Inc., Scottsdale Resort Accommodations, Inc. and Steamboat Premier Properties, Inc. (the “Delaware Corporate Registrants”) and CCK Holdings, LLC, Gaylord Hotels, LLC, OLH Holdings, LLC, Opryland Hotel-Texas, LLC, Coastal Resorts Realty, LLC, and ResortQuest Southwest Florida, LLC (the “Delaware LLC Registrants”), and Opryland Hotel-Texas Limited Partnership (the “Delaware LP Registrant”).

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) permits a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation) or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. A corporation may indemnify against expenses, (including attorneys’ fees) judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person indemnified acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. If the person indemnified is not wholly successful in such action, suit or proceeding, but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such proceeding, he or she may be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. In the case of an action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, no indemnification may be made in respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of

Chancery of the State of Delaware, or the court in which such action or suit was brought, shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper. Section 145 provides that, to the extent a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above or in the defense of any claim, issue or manner therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith. Section 18-108 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, empowers a Delaware limited liability company to indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against any all claims and demands whatsoever. Section 17-108 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, or the LP Act, empowers a Delaware limited partnership to indemnify and hold harmless any partner or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever.

Pursuant to authority conferred by Delaware law, the Delaware Corporate Registrants’ certificates of incorporation, the Delaware LLC Registrants’ certificates of formation and the Delaware Limited Partnership’s limited partnership agreement, contain provisions providing that no director, manager or limited partner, as the case may be, shall be liable to it or its stockholders, members or partners, as the case may be, for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, member or partner, as the case may be, except to the extent that such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under Delaware law as then in effect or as it may be amended. This provision is intended to eliminate the risk that a director, member or limited partner might incur personal liability to the Company or its stockholders, members or partners for breach of the duty of care.

The Delaware Corporate Registrants’ certificates of incorporation and bylaws, the Delaware LLC Registrants’ certificates of formation and limited liability company agreements and the Delaware LP Registrant’s limited partnership agreement contain provisions requiring Gaylord to indemnify and advance expenses to its directors, members or limited partners, as the case may be, and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law. Among other things, these provisions generally provide indemnification for each registrant’s officers and directors, members, and limited partners, as the case may be, against liabilities for judgments in and settlements of lawsuits and other proceedings and for the advance and payment of fees and expenses reasonably incurred by the director, member, partner or officer in defense of any such lawsuit or proceeding if the director, member, partner or officer acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the registrant, and in certain cases only if the director, member, limited partner or officer is not adjudged to be liable to the company.

The Delaware Corporate Registrants, the Delaware LLC Registrants and the Delaware LP Registrant maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was its director, member, limited partner or officer, or is now or was serving at the request of the applicable registrant as a director, member, limited partner, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not any registrant would have the power or the obligation to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of the bylaws, limited liability company agreement or limited partnership agreement.

Cove Management Services, Inc. (“Cove Management”) is a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of California. Section 317 of the California Corporations Code provides for the indemnification of officers, directors, and other corporate agents of a California corporation in substantially the same manner and to same extent as Section 145, inter alia, of the Delaware General Corporation Law as previously described applies to Delaware corporations except that: (i) permissible indemnification does not cover actions the person reasonably believed were not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, as opposed to those the person believed were in fact in the best interests of the corporation; (ii) the Delaware General Corporation Law permits advancement of expenses to agents other than officers and directors only upon approval of the board of directors; (iii) in a case of stockholders’ approval of

indemnification, the California Corporations Code requires certain minimum votes in favor of such indemnification and excludes the vote of the potentially indemnified person; and (iv) the California Corporations Code only permits independent counsel to approve indemnification if an independent quorum of directors is not obtainable, while the Delaware General Corporation Law permits the directors in any circumstances to appoint counsel to undertake such determination.

Section 317 of the California Corporations Code provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation’s charter, bylaws, disinterested director vote, stockholders vote, agreement or otherwise. Cove Management’s articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that the corporation will indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by the California Corporation Code.

Cove Management maintains insurance on behalf of any person who is or was its director or officer, or is now or was serving at the request of Cove Management as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not Cove Management would have the power or the obligation to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of the bylaws.

The following registrants are corporations or limited liability companies (as specified below) organized under the laws of the State of Colorado: Accommodations Center, Inc., Collection of Fine Properties, Inc., Columbine Management Company, First Resort Software, Inc., Houston and O’Leary Company, Telluride Resort Accommodations, Inc. and Ten Mile Holdings, Ltd. (the “Colorado Corporate Registrants”) and Peak Ski Rentals, LLC (“Peak Ski”).

Section 7-109-102 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act specifies the circumstances under which a corporation may indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents. For acts done in a person’s “official capacity,” the Colorado Business Corporation Act generally requires that an act be done in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation. In all other civil cases, the person must have acted in good faith and in a way that was not opposed to the corporation’s best interests. In criminal actions or proceedings, the Colorado Business Corporation Act imposes an additional requirement that the actor had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In any proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, or charging a person with the improper receipt of a personal benefit, no indemnification, except for court-ordered indemnification for reasonable expenses occurred, can be made.

	(a)	The following exhibits are filed herewith or incorporated herein by reference:


*	Incorporated by reference to exhibits (with same numbers) to Gaylord’s Form S-4 filed with the Commission on January 9, 2004.

**	To be incorporated by reference herein in connection with the offering of each series of securities.


	(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:


	(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”);

	(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

	(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.


	(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

	(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

	(2) For the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

	*We may not be able to implement successfully our business strategy.*


	*Our hotel and convention business and our vacation rental and property management business are subject to significant market risks.*


	*Our recent acquisition of ResortQuest International, Inc. involves substantial risks.*


	*Unanticipated costs could adversely affect the results of hotels we open in new markets.*


	*Our hotel development is subject to timing, budgeting and other risks.*


	*Our real estate investments are subject to numerous risks.*


	*Our hotel and vacation rental properties are concentrated geographically.*


	*Hospitality companies have been the target of class actions and other lawsuits alleging violations of federal and state law.*


	*Our properties are subject to environmental regulations.*


	*Our business prospects depend on our ability to attract and retain senior level executives.*


	*We have certain other minority equity interests over which we have no significant control and to or for which we may owe significant obligations.*


	*We are subject to risks relating to acts of God, terrorist activity and war.*


	The hospitality industry and the vacation and property management industry are heavily regulated, including with respect to food and beverage sales, real estate brokerage licensing, employee relations and construction concerns, and compliance with these regulations could reduce our revenues and profits.


	*If vacation rental property owners do not renew a significant number of property management contracts, our ResortQuest vacation rental business would be adversely affected.*


	Our substantial debt could adversely affect our cash flow and our financial health and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under our debt securities or the terms of our preferred stock.


	Although unsecured debt securities issuable hereunder may be referred to as senior notes, they are effectively subordinated to our and the subsidiary guarantors’ secured debt and the liabilities of our non-guarantor subsidiaries.


	*To service our debt, we will require a significant amount of cash, which may not be available to us.*


	The agreements governing our debt, including our 8% senior notes due 2013 and our senior secured loans, contain various covenants that limit our discretion in the operation of our business and could lead to acceleration of debt.


	*Any subsidiary guarantees may not be enforceable because of fraudulent conveyance laws or state corporate laws prohibiting shareholder distributions by an insolvent subsidiary.*


	We may be unable to make a change of control offer required by the indenture governing our 8% senior notes due 2013, which would cause defaults under the indenture governing the 8% senior notes, our new revolving credit facility and our other financing arrangements.


	*The market price for our common stock, or other equity securities we may issue, may be volatile.*


	*ERISA plan fiduciaries must consider certain factors before investing.*


	*Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and Delaware law could make it difficult for a third party to acquire our company.*


	*Our issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect holders of our common stock and discourage a takeover.*


	*Future sales of our common stock in the public market could adversely affect our stock price and our ability to raise funds in new stock offerings.*


	*Special Meetings of Stockholders; Action by Written Consent*


	*Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations*
