Rustic adventurous hideaway.
Perched high on the southeastern edge of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Cataloochee Ranch is a storied mountain retreat blending sweeping vistas with rustic comforts. Generations of adventurers have embraced its authentic hospitality, locally sourced ranch cuisine, and inspired High Country activities.
Insider Tip

Check the events calendar before you go—enjoy live bluegrass music at Switchback, or stargaze with the Asheville Astronomy Club and a slice of moon pie.

Where You’re Staying

Accommodations channel mountain charm with warm wood accents, cozy fireplaces, and panoramic views. Lodge suites offer rugged sophistication, while cabins are perfect for larger groups. Expect handcrafted details, plush bedding, and modern touches that honor the ranch’s nearly century-old heritage.

Where to Dine

Switchback pairs Appalachian classics with fireside ambiance and stunning mountain views, while the Tack Room offers craft cocktails and a curated wine list. Weekly Cataloochee Cookouts feature locally sourced barbecue. For a more intimate experience, savor private tastings and meals in The Hideout, an exclusive wine cellar with stunning mountain vistas.

Where to Relax

Unwind by the fire in cozy lounges or breathe in the crisp mountain air. Keep active in the fitness center, then soothe tired muscles with a pampering treatment at The Still, the full-service spa at sister property The Swag.

What to Do

Ride horseback on ridge trails, try archery or axe throwing, or craft leather goods in a hands-on workshop. Guests can hike, fish, join cattle talks, test skills in the challenge course, or gather for storytelling and live music under starlit skies.
