The new 40 million dollar Lodge at Fall Creek Falls, the replacement to the former Inn at Fall Creek Falls State Park, is entering the staffing phase as the construction is officially completed, according to Department of General Services Communications Director David Roberson.

An opening date for the lodge is slated for early 2022, according to Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) Deputy Communications Director Kim Schofinski.

The Lodge at Fall Creek Falls State Park is more than a hotel. It is a gateway to one of the most spectacular outdoor destinations in Tennessee. Located an hour from Chattanooga and less than two hours from Nashville and Knoxville, this brand-new Lodge will satisfy your longing for adventure. It combines the modern comforts of Gatlinburg hotels with immersion in a peaceful and tranquil natural setting. When you step out of the lobby, you enter a world of towering waterfalls, breathtaking overlooks, hiking, paddling, treetop adventures, golfing, fishing and more. There is no other place in Tennessee quite like the Lodge Fall Creek Falls.

The Lodge at Fall Creek Falls will be an ideal destination for individuals, families, groups, and conferences in search of natural escapes. The Lodge features 85 guest rooms overlooking Fall Creek Falls Lake. The unique guest rooms come in a variety of different sizes and layouts, ensuring the overnight arrangements are as spectacular as the surrounding park.

Connect with the outdoors on a new level as you enjoy lakeside dining and drinks at the on-site restaurant. The waterside pool, located just below the restaurant, offers a space to unwind after a day of exploration. On the opposite side of the lake, guests can rent paddleboards and kayaks at the boat dock, and enjoy the Canopy Challenge Course or the 18-hole golf course.

The lodge is nearing completion but is not yet open for individual reservations. You can sign up for emails to be the first to know when reservations are available at tnstateparks.info/FCFEmail. Learn more about the Lodge at tnstateparks.info/Lodge_FCF.
