Newly renovated!!

Located atop Cheaha Mountain, the highest point in the State, 2,407 feet above sea level, this 2,799 acre mountain top retreat exhibits breathtaking scenery year-round. Seated at your evening restaurant dining table, you can enjoy a spectacular sunset as the perfect complement to an excellent meal. Then after an exhilarating day of hiking, swimming, or photographing nature's beauty, you can retire to a comfortable hotel room, mountainside chalet, cabin or a scenic campsite.

Filtering through red and gold leaves, the late afternoon sun sets everything ablaze, even the water. You head for rocks perched on the mountain's edge, and a few minutes later, you find the perfect spot.

 The sun shining through fall leaves casts a red and gold light over everything around you. A cool breeze gently brushes your face. The trail you are hiking was used two hundred years ago by Cherokee Indians, and today it's easy to imagine you're one of them. Rounding a bend, you stop. Fifteen feet beyond, a doe is grazing. She hears you, stares for a moment, then bolts . . .

Reluctantly, you push your chair away from the dinner table. It's easy to understand why you'll return time and time again to the lodge. You take a swing through the art gallery, then decide to make it an early night. You will be prowling around with your camera first thing in the morning, on the lookout for American Bald Eagles that spend winters in the Park . . .

Your putter meets the ball with a decisive tap. Holding your breath, you watch it veer right, then, at the last second, it drops into the hole. You smile. It was your best round yet. Strolling the short distance to the lodge, you check your watch and decide to head for the Coffee Shop. It's time to join your friends for lunch . . .

Just six miles northeast of Guntersville, off Highway 227, overlooking the majestic 66,470-acre Guntersville Reservoir, the park ranges over 5,909 acres of ridge tops and meadows.
