Perched on a mountaintop in the Smokies, Cataloochee Ranch is a Relais & Châteaux resort that mixes classic ranch fun with exceptional accommodations and cuisine.

Founded over 90 years ago by the Alexander family (& currently owned/operated by Annie & David Colquitt), Cataloochee Ranch has been a favorite mountain getaway for generations of high country adventurers. Spread across hundreds of acres along the southeastern border of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the property’s breathtaking elevation, open balds, and long range views are complemented by classic comforts, perfectly rustic cuisine, humble hospitality and hands-on, expert-led activities.
