Perched on a mountaintop in the Smokies, Cataloochee Ranch is a Relais & Châteaux resort that mixes classic ranch fun with exceptional accommodations and cuisine.
Spread across hundreds of acres along the southeastern border of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the historic property’s breathtaking elevation, open balds, and mountain range views are complemented by classic comforts, humble hospitality, and hands-on, expert-led activities. Immerse yourself in the mountains with scenic horseback rides, guided hikes, a treetop adventure course, and skiing, or try your hand at traditional ranch crafts in the Barn Studio.
High cuisine has found a home in the High Country at Switchback, a world-class restaurant led by Chef Jeb Aldrich. The handcrafted menu features Appalachian favorites influenced by French techniques and flavored by locally grown produce.
Featuring eleven rustic cabins to accommodate parties of up to 8 guests, with expansion to the Silverbell Lodge and an on-site spa yet to come.
