About

Our Story & Commitment

We believe pet care should be more than a reservation. It should be a place where pets truly belong. Nestled in the Smoky Mountain foothills, our lodge was designed as a sanctuary where your furry family members can relax, play, and be themselves in a genuinely caring environment.

When your pet is in our care, we want you to feel like you’re leaving them with a trusted relative who loves them. We back that personal connection with the highest professional standards. Every guest is cared for by a CPR-certified team dedicated to safety, honesty, and heartfelt care. Whether your pet is joining us for a day of play or a long-term stay, we treat them as a member of our own family.

Health & Wellness Standards

To keep the Lodge a safe environment for everyone, we have established a few baseline health requirements:

  • Overall Health: Guests must be in good health and free from fleas, ticks, and communicable diseases.
  • Safety First: For the protection of the pack, we cannot admit dogs with stitches, staples, or e-collars.
  • Medical Care: Currently, we do not accept pets on seizure or heart medications.
  • Spay & Neuter: We require dogs 6 months and older to be spayed or neutered. If your pet is not, please call us to discuss if we can make special accommodations.

Vaccination Requirements

Keeping our guests healthy is a team effort. Please ensure your pet has the following on file:

  • For Dogs: Rabies, Distemper/Parvo/Parainfluenza, and Bordetella (given at least 10 days prior to stay). We also require an accepted form of flea and tick medication.
  • For Cats: Rabies and FVRCP.

Playstyle & Behavior

Social harmony is the key to our environment. We welcome dogs who are friendly and comfortable sharing food, toys, and personal space. To ensure your pup will enjoy their time here, our team performs a thoughtful evaluation on their first day to confirm our open-play style is the right match for their personality.
