As a child, Ginger Shinn would travel from Miami to Maggie Valley each year for vacation. She cherished the hiking, cookouts, bonfires, square dancing and scenic drives through the Great Smoky Mountains. Years later, Ginger, her husband Bud and their children would continue the yearly visits to Maggie Valley and Smokey Shadows until one day they decided to make the lodge their permanent home. Now, the Shinn family dedicate their lives to creating those same cherished memories for all who visit Smokey Shadows Lodge.

Visitors to the lodge and the two accompanying cabins travel back to a simpler place in time. The lodge, with it's log beam ceilings and stone walls offers 11 private rooms each decorated with cozy, rustic charm.  No two rooms are alike. Several have feather beds, and all have quilt bedspreads. There are also two adjacent cabins, one more than a hundred years old, which can accommodate up to 6 guests. The baby Cabin can accommodate two.

Whether you're enjoying the massive stone fireplace in the great room or strolling along the rocking chair filled porch, you are guaranteed to experience relaxation and peace like you've never known before.  By the way, naps in the hammock are not only allowed, they're encouraged.

The Shinns are famous for their "country gourmet" meals served family style in the dining room. Over the years Ginger has collected time honored recipes for classic country dishes with flavors to please every palate. Be warned! The fresh tomato pie is addictive may lead to second helpings! Smokey Shadows is indeed magical and offers something for everyone. Give the Shinns a call today and book your getaway to Smokey Shadows.
