Hidden in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina rests the renovated Cataloochee Ranch, one of the best smokies resorts. The hotel offers guests a vacation experience surrounded by nature and fun activities like horseback riding, hiking, and fine dining.
Located in Maggie Valley, aside from the horseback riding experience, the 700-acre land offers many things to do. The doors are open for residents and visitors who seek a fine dining experience from talented executive chef Jeb Aldrich. There is also the option of going on a hiking adventure and enjoying the view of the Great Smoky Mountains. Or attend one of the outdoor events Cataloochee regularly hosts.
What was originally a barn in 1933 later grew into the Main Ranch House that hosts visitors overnight. Now, Cataloochee Ranch is one of the best Smokies resorts. It’s the perfect location for those looking to escape the city through a hike or horseback riding adventure. Cataloochee Ranch offers Half-Day Group Rides, Rides to The Swag for a Chef’s Picnic Lunch, All-Day Group Rides, Child Lead Line Rides and Private Rides.
