As a concessionaire of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, we operate under the regulations and advisement of the National Park Service. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, we have taken additional measures to prevent the spread of the virus based on the recommendations of the NPS, even more so now that the lodge is open to visitors. The lodge is just one of numerous full service businesses in and around the park still open to the public at this time. Currently all roads and trails providing access to Mt. LeConte remain open by the NPS. We continue to monitor the situation and enact additional precautionary measures as recommended. Our reservations office is working diligently with guests who have reservations during the next two weeks, to ensure that those willing and able to visit our lodge have an experience that is safe and as enjoyable as possible. Guests are also being directed to stay up-to-date with the latest information regarding COVID-19 here in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park by visiting www.nps.gov/grsm.
