My husband and I planned a trip here based upon an article in National Geographic Traveler. The Ranch did not live up to the expectations. The bottom line is they charge too much for what you get. We stayed in a ranch room where the walls are paper thin and you can hear everything going on in the entire ranch... More

My family comes here every summer and fall and we always have an amazing time. The cabins are quaint but very cozy, the food is southern comfort food and always delicious, on weekends in the summer there are cookouts. We are avid horseback riders and always do an all day ride. The horses are very well cared for and very... More

Not sure what the cabins are like but in one of the ranch house rooms where we stayed, the room was clean but the bed had an old very used musty comforter, old thin blanket on the bed, endless flies in the room in the fall season. Food was good, staff was friendly. Overall, disappointed..for the nightly fee I expected... More

If I owned this nice place my staff and food would be above top notch . This is not the case the grounds were well kept , but not the staff - most of them were not friendly and were just going through the motions . The female , I guess "owner" had breakfast with us, a little full of... More

Our family enjoyed our 3rd annual fall break visit to the Cataloochee Guest Ranch, staying in the Wintergreen Cabin. As always, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The courteous and friendly staff provided great service, great food, and great hospitality. The horseback riding experience is the best! Our children look forward to visiting next year!

I never thought a wedding could be a much fun! The setting of the ranch is outstanding! We took over all cabins and rooms and can't recommend it more for any kind of family function, business retreat, romantic weekend or even by yourself. The service people were incredibly nice, friendly and accommodating. All in all we all loved it!

This was our first time to visit the ranch, and we were very pleased. The employees are very helpful and attentive, the food service was above and beyond our expectations. Many settings were beyond what we had assumed might be offered. Great place for children, many horses and cows around. Nice peaceful getaway, would definitely come back! Give it a... More

My 9 year old daughter wanted to ride horses for her birthday and one of my dear friends suggested Cataloochee Ranch. And thank goodness for the suggestion. We had an outstanding couple of days. Relaxed and unplugged. The accomodations in the Pond House were wonderful. The food was excellent. The scenery was beautiful. The atmosphere was so very family friendly.... More
