This was a perfect location for our family reunion. Plenty of bedrooms so we may have privacy. Large common rooms for family time and a large space upstairs for the kids to play. Well stocked kitchen. Cave tours, Zipline, horseback riding, antiquing, etc. plenty of local activities for those that want to get out of the cabin. Beautiful views from the porch when staying in. Everyone enjoyed our stay.

Family Reunion

We stayed at Elk Lodge it was beautiful. Each room had its own bathroom and the beds are comfortable. The kitchen is huge and had all the cookware and utensils we needed. The pool and hot tub were great.We enjoyed playing ping pong and pool and reminiscing around the fire pit. We had 24 people and had more then enough room to be together and also enough room to spread out. Everyone from 1 year old to 83 enjoyed themselves. I highly recommend staying here.

Near the Smokies

We enjoyed the spacious kitchen , dining room, and upstairs game room! Tho it was too cold to spend much time outside, there was enough space and activities indoors. Most of the older children and adults did the hike to the summit once. The living room with the couches along three walls was perfect for our Family Christmas program

Terific For Family Reunion

Our family of 40 - (From ages 6 to 76) stayed here for a long weekend Family Reunion. It was perfect. Ms. Ruth and staff couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. We will stay here again and may will additional cabins for our growing family. The facilities were comfortable and very nice. The fully equipped kitchen with an commercial sized stove/cook top made meal prep easy for such a large crowd. It was really difficult to find accommodations for a group this big but this was perfect!!

The Green Family Reunion

31 of us gathered for our family reunion. The Elk Lodge was perfect. The pool was in use most of the day. Rooms were comfortable with it's own private bath. The kitchen held anything you would need to cook meals. Everything was labeled well. The deck by the pool saw many tales told and unending laughs. There was a basketball hoop, corn hole game outside and a pool table upstairs. We plan to go back next year.

We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay with us!! We are resolving the jacuzzi tub issue as soon as possible and we apologize for the inconvenience. We are not aware of any problems with the oven. It is a bit of different procedure to turn it on because it is a confection oven. Our guest services team is always a phone call or text away for any issues that arise during your stay. Thank you for choosing TRC and we hope to host you in the future!!

Church youth trip

We had a large group of youth and adults for our annual youth trip. The cabin was so spacious and accommodating. We had plenty of room to spread out and have devotions along with lots of fun. The property manager was extremely helpful and so easy to communicate with. They made sure everything was up to standard for us. We will definitely stay here again!

Our family of 33 really enjoyed our stay.

We enjoyed the place, pool, the facility, the hike up the mountain right by us, the large equipped kitchen(its really nice not to have to bring extra kitchen stuff)..the upstairs meeting room. All the kitchen tables and chairs ( most of our 18 grandchildren enjoyed working on crafts on the tables there was plenty of room). It was really great. A huge thank you for letting us stay at your place.

Beautiful place!

We had an amazing time while at Elk lodge! The views were incredible and the staff was extremely friendly. I particularly love the huge wrap around couch in the living room that seats about 20 people. Everything was so cozy and relaxing! We will definitely be planning many more trips to Tuckaleechee in the future!

Tuckaleechee Retreat Center

Elk Lodge is the place to stay if you have a large group (or a small one) who would like to stay together. Rooms are comfortable and well stocked with towels, etc. The kitchen is large and well maintained. The dining room has many tables, and there is a TV room that seats several. A gathering room on the second floor is a good place for all to meet. Tuckaleechee Retreat Center is located in Townsend (the quieter side of the Smokies) and is close to Cades Cove, a nice drive to Pigeon Forge (through Wear's Valley----beautiful) and not far from Gatlinburg. There is a pool, a hot tub, a large front porch with rocking chairs. Ruth and her staff go out of their way to make you comfortable.
