Originally envisioned as a bed-and-breakfast and wedding destination, Butterfly Gap has grown into a one-of-a-kind mountain retreat. Nestled on 1,000 acres of lush woodland at the base of the Foothills Parkway, the property offers guests a peaceful escape where nature, privacy, and relaxation take center stage.

One of the first features developed on the property was a private lake, creating a central gathering place for fishing, swimming, boating, and enjoying the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Today, the retreat continues to provide a serene setting for couples, families, and travelers looking to disconnect from the pace of everyday life.

Butterfly Gap has been featured in Southern Living, City View, I Do, Basically Blount, All Things Cottage, and 1,000 Places to See Before You Die. In 2014, it was recognized as one of the Top 10 Modern Bed and Breakfasts in the World.

Each thoughtfully designed cottage sits on its own five-acre tract, offering exceptional privacy and an immersive connection with nature. Every cottage has its own unique personality, with distinctive features such as a bed that rolls out onto a screened porch, rotating walls in the studio cottage, a charming treehouse, and a stunning all-glass, ADA-accessible cottage. These memorable architectural details make every home at Butterfly Gap a truly unique experience.
