Smokey Shadows Lodge

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.

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.

The cutest bed & breakfast tucked away in the mountains! I really can’t begin to explain how incredible place is! The rooms are so cute and the breakfast was amazing...fresh baked vegetable cheese quiche and banana muffins.nThere is also a fire pit area on site if you want to make a campfire ud83dudd25nnBud and ginger shinn bought the place in the 50’s and although I didn’t get to meet them I did get to speak to ginger on the phone when I made my reservation and she is the sweetest lady!nI heard they are known for tomato pie so you can call and ask to order one! (Sounds weird but heard it’s amazing)nnCant recommend this place enough plus you can wake up with a Mountain View from your room anywhere else in town!

Everyone was so friendly! We felt like a part of the family! Great food, great views, great staff!
