Cataloochee Ranch

Cataloochee Ranch Lodging, dining and horseback riding. Visit us at www.cataloocheeranch.com Cataloochee Ranch was founded by “Mr. Tom” and “Miss. In 1938, Mr.
(891)

Judy” Alexander in 1933, and was originally located in the serene, and beautiful, Cataloochee Valley. Tom purchased a large part of the present Ranch property on Fie Top Mountain from Verlin Campbell, the “Potato King” of Haywood County. From Verlin he inherited a sturdy stone and log cattle barn, now the main Ranch house, and several derelict cabins and sheds. The eroded pasture land was littered

with stumps and old potato crates, but it provided a number of excellent “bold” springs. Its 5,000-foot elevation bordering the Great Smoky Mountains National Park also created the ideal combination of extraordinary mountain views and wonderfully cool summer temperatures.

Our gym has everything you need to stick to your workout regimen during your stay ... unless, of course, that is not your idea of vacation! In that case, we also have the perfect hammock to nap in down by the pond. No judgement either way.
