Book your next hunting vacation at the Turkey Gap!

Our property features 106 private acres of dense timber in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Tennesee-North Carolina border runs through the property, splitting the acreage into about 60 acres of TN and 46 acres of NC.

To best take advantage of all the lodge has to offer, we recommend you and your hunting buddies bring the entire family along. Hunting access is only $100 per person per day; however, non-hunting companions are free when you book the lodge, which can comfortably fit up to 20 guests.

We are located within a 2.5-hour drive from both the Charlotte and Greensboro areas. Knoxville, TN is just less than 3 hours away. Our close proximity to these metropolitan areas makes this the perfect spot for turkey hunters looking for secluded hunting access and luxury lodging for the whole family in the Great Escape Lodge!

The Great Escape Lodge - Lodging for the Whole Family

The Great Escape Lodge is a spectacular and famiy-friendly mountain house that was built for privacy, relaxation, and the enjoyment of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

The spacious three-level lodge with 6 bedrooms and two master bedrooms is located at 3,900 feet at the center/top of a private mountain spanning 106 acres which boasts spectacular westward views of meadows, mountains, and valleys. There is a guest cabin 100 yards from the main house that can be rented for $100 per night. The guest cabin includes the 7th bedroom and 5th bathroom.

When you're not hunting, there are three large TVs in the main house (family room, upstairs master, downstairs tv room) and one in the guest cabin, but we haven't put a TV in the other bedrooms primarily because we originally bought the house so our kids would watch less, not more TV.

We've recently added an in-ground private pool (30x14) available MAY 1st - SEPT 30 - no exceptions on dates.

We are located about 30 minutes north of Boone, 20 minutes from Mountain City. The last half mile is uphill on a private gravel driveway. FOUR WHEEL DRIVE IS REQUIRED IN WINTER AND EARLY SPRING (always check the weather). We have had guests attempt the driveway after a snow in two-wheel drive and we end up having to ask our neighbors with 4WD for help :) We have had guests bring trailers with bikes/motorcycles up the driveway without any issues; however, less experienced/skilled motorcycle riders might not be comfortable with the gravel/pitch of drive.

There are gas stations/convenience stores 5-10 minutes away, but the closest full service grocery stores are in Boone and Mountain City which are 30 and 20 minutes, away respectively.

We look forward to hosting you!
