506 Acres of E TN heaven!

The perfect culmination of natural beauty, tranquility and seclusion nestled in the heart of the Smoky Mountains. Located in Walland, Tennessee, this exclusive lodge includes 506+/- acres of land with old-growth hardwood forest, spring-fed mountain streams, miles of roads, and phenomenal 360-degree ridge top views.
