Welcome to Tuckaleechee Retreat Center, a Christian non-profit, which is home to the National Office for Children's Bible Ministries, Inc. We offer seven cabins/lodges of varying sizes, sleeping from 2-40 guests! The main lodge features a beautiful saltwater pool, which is available to all of our guests, open Memorial Day through Labor Day. All cabins have fully equipped kitchens, grills, hot tubs, and gas fireplaces (Firefly Lodge has an electric fireplace). Bed and bath linens are also provided! Activities available to all of our guests include the shared saltwater pool, corn hole, and fire pit.

The beautiful 2-story Elk Lodge offers ten bedrooms, each with two queen beds and private bath, some with desks; a large, fully equipped kitchen (commercial gas range and 2 convection ovens, two dishwashers, two refrigerators, pots/pans/utensils/silverware, and plenty of prep space), and large dining room with farmhouse-style tables, which seats 40-50 people and overlooks the pool. Adjacent to the dining room is a large family room with 15-person wrap-around sofa, dual-sided gas fireplace (available October through April), and flat screen Roku Cable TV/DVD.

Upstairs is the 1,500 square foot common room for meetings, chapels, or just hanging out. It offers a pool table, ping pong table, small seating area with Roku Cable TV/DVD on a rolling stand, chairs & tables for conference meetings/crafts, and laundry room with extra full bath. Free WIFI is provided throughout the lodge. Both top and bottom levels have decks that run the full length of the building, overlooking the mountains, complete with rocking chairs for enjoying the view. Elk Lodge is the perfect place for your family reunion, men's, women's or youth retreat, and so much more!

Please note:
Elk Lodge is the main building at our retreat center and it is similar to a hotel-style building in that there are offices, guest rooms, and guest areas to hang-out. The offices are separated from the guest space by a sliding barn door. When guests are staying in the lodge, our office staff enter through the Staff-Only entrance and the sliding barn door is kept closed and locked, for your privacy. The guest rooms and guest common areas (kitchen, living room, dining room, and common room) are solely for your group to use during your stay.

There are 2 detached staff apartments upstairs. Both apartments have exterior exits so our staff members who live in those apartments will not enter the guest areas during the your stay. We provide a key for every bedroom if you wish to keep your personal belongings locked in your room during your stay. We have many returning family reunions and groups, representing thousands of guests that stay in Elk Lodge every year, and we have never had any issues. Please reach out to us with any questions regarding this. Thank you!
