In the heart of Maggie Valley on Cataloochee Mountain, Waverly Lodge is nestled between the entrance to Ghost Town in the Sky and Tony's Tube World at the base of the mountain and Cataloochee Ski Area at the top.
Maggie Valley lies in the romantic shadows of Cold Mountain, where the Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains meet. Midway between Asheville and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, it's the perfect hub to explore all that the North Carolina mountains have to offer. Biltmore Estate. The Blue Ridge Parkway. Downtown Waynesville. Cherokee Indian Village. Wild elk viewing in Cataloochee Valley. Harrah's Cherokee Casino. Horseback riding. Golf & miniature golf. Whitewater rafting, canoeing, tubing and kayaking. Trout fishing. Mountain biking. Hiking. The list of things to do stretches as far as the mountain horizon.
Golf: Lake Junaluska Golf Course: 18-hole, 5,034-yard course. Challenging but fun par 68 for the entire group.
Laurel Ridge Country Club: Fast, undulating greens, lush tree-lined fairways, spectacular panoramic views. 18-hole, par 72 championship course. Semi-private course spans 6,904 yards.
Maggie Valley Club: 18-hole, 6,500-yard, par 72 course is like two courses in one, with the flat Valley Nine serving as a 'warm-up' for the Mountain Nine with an 800-foot rise in elevation and an increased challenge.
Springdale Country Club: 18-hole, par 72 course stretches more than 6,800 yards from the gradual elevation changes of the front nine toward Rocky Face Mountain, to the wide open fairways on the back nine where Cold Mountain serves as a spacious backdrop.
Waynesville Country Club: Picturesque 27-hole course features three separate and distinct par 35, 9-hole courses. The Blue Ridge Course is the most mountainous; the Carolina Course is the flattest; the Dogwood Course is the shortest.
Ski: Just two miles up our mountain, and you're at Cataloochee Ski Area. 12 unique runs to challenge any skier. Ski and equipment rentals. This is one of the most popular ski resorts in the East.
