The Ranch Cottage
The Ranch Cottage is an ideal retreat for pre-ceremony wedding parties and a romantic honeymoon escape for newlyweds. Every room boasts stunning Smoky Mountain views. The cottage recently renovated from top to bottom features a full kitchen with new appliances, a cozy gas fireplace, a luxurious bathroom with dual showerheads, and a jetted soaking tub. The primary bedroom includes a queen bed, dresser, and ample closet space, while the additional room is outfitted with a futon, dressing table, and wardrobe rack. Guests will also enjoy modern amenities such as free Wi-Fi, a washer and dryer, Roku live television, air conditioning, and heating, ensuring a comfortable and memorable stay.
The Cookhouse
The charming green-roofed log Cookhouse adds rustic elegance to the venue. It features a covered area ideal for intimate gatherings and food-serving stations, while the interior houses a fully equipped domestic kitchen for meal preparation, food warming, and effortless post-event cleanup.
Event Space
As you pass through the main gate of M3 Ranch, the ceremony, reception, and playground area unfold before you. A sprawling pasture provides a breathtaking setting for your event, framed by the majestic Smoky Mountains and the flowing Pigeon River.
The Playground
Adjacent to the pasture, a playground and expansive grassy area offer the perfect space for receptions, barbecues, and birthday celebrations.
Photo Spots
For picturesque moments, the Cookhouse Pond offers a serene backdrop, complemented by other unique photo opportunities at the Water Tower Silo, our antique John Deere tractor, and a vintage carriage. Adding a touch of nostalgia, a replica of a pre-indoor plumbing outhouse stands beside the Cookhouse—though inside, guests will find the comforts of modern plumbing.
