Cataloochee Ranch

A mountaintop Smokies retreat where the climb is part of the invitation, with lodging, private trails, ranch experiences and destination dining at 4,800 feet.

Dining and reservations

The local view

Dinner and a view, high above Maggie Valley

Cataloochee Ranch is not the place for a hurried meal on the way somewhere else. The mountain road, the long views and the ranch setting turn a reservation into an outing of its own. For an evening, a special event or a stay in the high country, the property offers a distinctly elevated sense of escape—in every meaning of the word.

Before making the climb

  • Resort elevation published as 4,800 feet
  • Private trails and ranch experiences
  • Dining and special events on the property
