Everything happens right here on our grounds. Whether you are staying in the Lodge or visiting for the day, the elegant mountain backdrop is yours to enjoy. With an elevation of nearly 3,600 feet, Chetola offers a refreshing escape from the summer heat and humidity found across much of the Southeast, with noticeably cooler daytime temperatures and crisp mountain evenings.
