Howdy,
We want you to imagine the perfect vacation, with your family. A place where you get to do things together like a family, like taking a horseback ride through some of the most gorgeous country you'll ever see, or rafting down a river and taking in the beauty like you can't do while you drive a car, relaxing on the porch and eventually just catching a nap that you never seem to get at home, sitting down to eat fabulous homecooked food that you didn't have to cook or clean up afterwards, square dancing like they used to do in the old days with the biggest smile on your face since you were a kid, or chasing cattle around pretending to be an ole' cowboy that you've always wanted to be in your heart.........
well......this is the kind of place where those dreams and more come true!
We want you to have these opportunities for you and your family, and that's why we're here at our 329 acre Dude Ranch waiting for you. Your children will never forget this vacation!
p.s. You wont forget it either!

Call us too if you have a corporate or church group. We can provide a package during our low season with team building events. The ranch will be all yours during that time.
We'd like to thank Clayton Homes who has chosen to return 2 additional times this year for team building.
If you want to grow your company through team building, we make it happen!
Our latest guest letter about their trip from this Easter:
Come and enjoy our old western Hotel, with a big saloon and dance floor and 7 rooms upstairs. Play cards, sit and relax, look at the mountain views, kick up your heels or take a nap on the porch. No matter what you do-You'll feel like you just walked into a John Wayne movie!

We
are rustling up more than just good food and cattle here at our Dude Ranch
in our all inclusive "American Plan" package. Whether you are
into horseback riding, whitewater rafting, cattle driving, team penning,
sitting back and enjoying the Smoky Mountains with a live bluegrass band,
or taking a swim in the heated pool, we have the family vacation for you.
Our
Dude Ranch is just like most of the Dude Ranch's you'll find out west,
we are just closer to the east. Our old western town look gives you the
feel of being in the old west. Our horse program is a hands on experience
too, because you get to learn how to groom and saddle your ranch horse
that you get for the week. We just don't hand you a horse to ride like
most ranches, it's more like you brought your own. Horse lovers heaven
is what we like to call it!
We
are happy to provide all Arabians for your riding enjoyment. Our horses
are part of our family and live here at the ranch year round, so you can
ride the same one each year. You'll enjoy the time you get to spend with
your "ranch" horse all week long! (we've got the carrots) We
do have weight and age requirements, so check out the frequently asked
questions (FAQ) page for details.
You
also get to save the flight money for other things. We are 4 hours from
Atlanta, Nashville & Charlotte, 5 hours from Cincinnati, and 8 hours
from Washington D.C., all within a days driving distance.
Our
trail views are some of the best you'll ever experience!
Our
Dude Ranch is a premier Smoky Mountain Dude Ranch, for family vacations.
We get big families, small families, couples, and singles that come to
our Dude Ranch every year, and they come back again too! (check out our
new repeat guest discounts) They all arrive as strangers, and leave as
friends and family.
