Decorated with nods to Cherokee heritage, our lodge offers a cozy retreat for travelers seeking tranquility. Each room is thoughtfully appointed with comfort in mind, ensuring a restful stay.

Guests can enjoy various amenities, including free Wi-Fi and access to our outdoor pool and hiking trails. There is also a picnic area on the Oconaluftee River, with easy on-property access for trout fishing, tubing, and more. Our location provides easy access to nearby attractions, such as the Cherokee National Forest, which is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, and the Museum of the Cherokee Indian, Oconaluftee Village, and Qualla Arts and Crafts, to learn more about Cherokee culture and history. The Cherokee Harrahs Casino is also nearby.

This area is home to over 200 species of birds and six trails listed in the North Carolina Birding Trails Guide, making it one of the best bird-watching sites in the Southeast. So, if you haven’t seen a rose-breasted grosbeak in a while…keep your fingers crossed. You might also catch a glimpse of a black bear or two—real or made of fiberglass.
