At The Lodge at Five Oaks we absolutely love families! Our hotel was created to pay homage to our owners family and the farm that they ran in the 1920’s on the same property as our hotel. This summer we would love for your family to join us and experience time “on the farm”, so we have put together 4 attractions that are family friendly and located near our hotel in hopes of inspiring you to choose us as your home away from home on your next vacation to the Smokies.
Five Oaks Farm Kitchen
Five Oaks Farm Kitchen is one of the best Smoky Mountain Restaurants for “supper” and it’s even located right next door to our hotel! The restaurant is based on the same family farm as The Lodge at Five Oaks and is an extension of the hospitality and authentic experience that we strive to provide each guest. You’ll find menu items that were inspired by Blanche Ogle’s farm kitchen that one sat on our property. Try some fresh greens, a dish from the smoke house, some hearty soup, a farm table favorite or satisfy your sweet tooth with dessert!
