RT Lodge unveils The Carriage House spa and Meeting House

RT Lodge has introduced two new spaces that deepen its sense of rest and connection: The Carriage House spa and the Meeting House. Nestled among the trees on the historic Maryville College campus, RT Lodge continues to offer an approachable luxury experience just minutes from Knoxville, McGhee Tyson Airport and the Great Smoky Mountains.

RT Lodge, along with partners and elected officials, officially cuts the ribbon Oct. 16 on The Carriage House Spa and The Meeting House to introduce the two new spaces that will offer guests a serene day spa and gathering space for overnight guests, corporate meetings and weddings.

“The addition of The Carriage House spa provides another opportunity for guests to unwind and rejuvenate, while the Meeting House offers a peaceful setting for groups to gather,” said Beth McCabe Holman, president of RT Lodge. “Both are designed to enhance the immersive experience for those who wish to escape to the woods in comfort.”

The Carriage House spa offers massage and facial treatments for individuals, couples and groups, including seven treatment rooms, and an infrared sauna. Guests may also browse curated retail offerings such as HydroPeptide skincare, robes and other comforts, with lunch available in The Morningside Room.

Beginning Oct. 16, limited services are available for lodge guests; full spa offerings open to the public Oct. 27. Reservations may be made at 865-260-0260 or rtlodge.com/carriage-house-spa.

Steps away, the Meeting House provides a serene space for retreats, celebrations and gatherings of up to 75 people. Designed with reclaimed wood beams, peacock paver floors and glass walls that open to the forest, the venue offers a tranquil, distraction-free atmosphere with modern amenities.

Local partners Johnson Architecture and Joseph Construction led the design and build of both spaces, blending craftsmanship with the natural setting that defines RT Lodge.

RT Lodge gift certificates can be purchased for use at the day spa and other lodge amenities. Patrons may also purchase gift certificates specifically for The Carriage House spa.
