High in the Great Smoky Mountains above Maggie Valley, Cataloochee Ranch spreads across an 825-acre estate of open pasture, forest and long Appalachian views. Lodge rooms and standalone cabins combine timber, stone fireplaces and comfortable contemporary furnishings, with porches drawing the landscape into the interiors. Switchback serves produce-led cooking in a vaulted dining room, while the main lodge provides generous shared spaces for drinks and fireside evenings. Riding trails, guided hikes and outdoor pursuits begin directly on the property, and the ranch’s broad lawns and weathered barns retain the character of its mountain setting.
