Jim Oliver's Smoke House

Jim Oliver’s Smoke House is a versatile conference, accommodation and retreat venue in Monteagle, Tennessee, set on a spacious mountain property between Nashville and Chattanooga. The venue offers organisers a choice of indoor meeting and banquet rooms, outdoor pavilions, open-air event areas and additional spaces suitable for private functions, corporate gatherings, reunions and group retreats.

Its dedicated meeting facilities can accommodate groups ranging from small working sessions to larger events of up to around 300 guests indoors, with flexible room layouts for presentations, workshops, meals and networking. Outdoor areas provide further opportunities for relaxed receptions, team activities, barbecues and informal group programmes. The property’s generous grounds make it possible to combine business meetings with recreation and social time in one location.

The Smoke House also provides on-site accommodation through lodge rooms and individual log and timber-frame cabins. These cabins offer a more private retreat-style experience, with features such as fireplaces, kitchens, screened porches and private tubs. This makes the venue well suited to multi-day meetings, management retreats, association gatherings, family reunions and incentive-style group stays.

Food is an important part of the experience, with the Smoke House restaurant and catering team providing traditional Southern-style menus, buffet options, banquet meals and refreshments for organised groups. Event planners can also request help arranging entertainment, photographers, tours and outdoor activities. Depending on the programme, groups may enjoy live music, hiking, swimming, fishing, sports, yard games and other recreational amenities on the property.

With meeting space, accommodation, dining, entertainment and outdoor activities available together, Jim Oliver’s Smoke House offers event organisers a practical setting for conferences, retreats, celebrations and residential group programmes in the Cumberland Plateau region.
