Smokey Shadows Lodge

I loved everything about your lodge❤. The meal was delicious and you do not walk away hungry. The lodge is very clean.
Traci and her staff were the nicest people you ever meet. Thank you for a wonderful week.

A hidden gem in the Smokies, beautiful view and everything is family style. Don't miss the tomato pie or the dessert if you have room for it .

Words can’t express how wonderful it was to celebrate our 10 year anniversary at this beautiful lodge. It is a relaxing refuge away from the business of life. The Saturday night meal was the best homemade southern cooking you could ever ask for. The anniversary dance with the song Paper Doll from the vintage jukebox topped our evening. We found new friends that we had great conversations with. Thank you for wonder Experience!!

What an incredible experience!! We were at the lodge for a gorgeous vow renewal. The mountain views, the authenticity and history of the building, and THE FOOD!!! Home-cooked delicious meals and hospitality that exceeded all expectations. We didn't stay in the rooms but other family members did and they were adorable. Highly recommend!

Booked a few nights here, and was impressed by everything. Tracey and her staff were very courteous, personal, and professional and yet they made my sister Melissa and I feel right at home. Had great conversations with Karen who made us feel as though we had lived there forever. The cabin was rustic and quaint but had the necessary amenities, and was super clean. The food was delicious, other guests were open and engaging and the entire experience was a sigh of relief and a breath of fresh air away from the outside world. You will not be disappointed if you are wanting to enjoy a simpler way of life, laid back, no clock watching, just relax, take a deep breath and smile.

Found this gem by accident. Totally awesome experience. The owner is great and super accommodating. This is rustic, so if you want off the grid, relaxing, unplugged atmosphere, this is your spot. The homemade breakfast was terrific. They did not have a dinner the weekend we were there, but I have heard their pot roast is legendary. We are looking forward to going back.

My husband and I stayed here for 5 days this past week. We loved absolutely everything about it. The lodge itself is beautiful and relaxing from the quaint and comfortable rooms to the warm and inviting living room. There is a full length porch on the back that was wonderful to sit and enjoy the beautiful view. We loved sitting by the fire in the living area in the evening. Julian was always sure to have everything set up so all we had to do was light it. We were also fortunate enough to be able to eat dinner here one night as well and the food was phenomenal. The tomato pie everyone talks about is definitely worth the hype. Overall, I can't say enough good things about this place. Everything about it was exactly what my husband and I needed. We would absolutely not hesitate to stay here again in the future.

We were here over the weekend for our close friends 25th wedding anniversary. The food was amazing. All home made. Beyond delicious. The views and quaintness of the lodge are breathtaking. Looking forward to coming back here again.

We discovered this lodge and cabin 30+ years ago. Awesome place with so much character. We just spent mothers day weekend here. Everything about it is unique from the homemade dinners, the views and the staff!

This unique family style dinner at the beautiful Smokey Shadows Lodge is a must-do event when our family gathers in Maggie Valley - Waynesville area. The food is delicious, the surroundings comfortable and the service beyond compare. Top notch!

Wow - what a dinner! Family style with the most amazing food and service. Everything made from scratch and more food than you can imagine. One of the best meals ever - highly recommend!

Love this place and Tracy and her staff.
Dinner was excellent.

Oh my goodness what a beautiful property! And the food!!! Don’t even get me started n the tomato pie. SO good! Tracy and staff are always sweet and friendly. Love going to this local lovely.

Great food! Terrific atmosphere & surroundings. The food was fantastic as always. Been here 3x in last 3 years - never 7disappointed. Make reservations!

If you're looking for an authentic home cooked family style meal while meeting people this is the place. They do a lovely job and thier tomato pie is especially outstanding!

Incredible courtesy. A diamond in the rough for sure. Thank you for the e experience

We had such a great time at Smokey Shadows lodge. Enjoyed sitting on the wonderful long porch as the sun went down with a nice bottle of wine and some cheese. For some reason, everything tastes better when you are 4200 feet up in the mountains. We stayed in the 100+ year old cabin, lit a nice fire in the fireplace. Peace, quiet, cool mountain air, soft sounds of gentle rain at night while cuddling in a very comfortable bed, delicious breakfast every morning – who could ask for more? It didn’t feel like we were staying at a cabin, but felt more like we were hanging out with some good friends and family who just happened to own a nice cabin and lodge. Amanda, Tracy, and Ginger were all so sweet and accommodating that at the end of our 3 days stay I was sad that we weren’t staying longer. Bud made sure we had plenty of wood and a grill ready for cooking on if we needed it. On our last night there we were fortunate enough to enjoy one of their fantastic gourmet country meals - I see now why the locals look forward to those nights (there are those who may say I had 3 slices of that incredible tomato pie but if I’m eating off of my wife’s plate I don’t count that slice). All I can think about is how soon can I get back there – if you are looking for a unique and relaxing experience this is one of those rare places that you need to experience.

High atop a mountain near the Cataloochee Ski Resort in Maggie Valley is this rustic, quaint lodge where Tracy, her sous chefs and staff serve up a traditional family style dining experience. Tomato pie, squash casserole, salad, beets, and tender pot roast with carrots, potatoes, noodles and gravy Sugary chocolate cherry cake with fresh made whipped cream. It is BYOB so bring your own spirits, sit back and be treated in true Southern Style. Buy the cookbook for their treasured recipes. Highly recommend, especially with a group of people.

My husband and I are happy to recommend The Smokey Shadows Lodge, after a wonderful stay and unique experience.
The host, Miss Ginger, was very generous and welcoming, the atmosphere in and all around the lodge is full of history and carried over good times! Comfy beds, clean rooms, unique decors, great location!
Go enjoy the mountain!

Hidden Gem. Quite old lodge, with real mountain flair.The family style dinner was outstanding, if it is real home cooking you are looking for, don't miss it! Go if you like the cabin lifestyle. Host go out of their way to make you feel at home.
