What if they don't know I'm coming? lol. I haven't contacted them because I'll be staying in Brent's tent. I guess I need to call them anyway. I was going to see how much for just the bedding and a pillow since I'll be bringing an air mattress. I'll ask them about meals then. I'd prefer not to eat every meal at the same place though... May have to check out that other place you mentioned.Try your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.

Extra Person in Tent is going to cost $5 a night unless you divide up the total cost with Brent and the other tent mates. (which I guess would then be $9 bucks each?) Iron Horse Motorcycle Lodge is in the Nantahala National Forest and is pretty remote, meaning there are limited services (restaurants or anything but mountains) within the immediate area. Most attendees prefer to socialize and have dinner at I-H rather than get back on the bike and attempt a Big Foot sighting. As Ben said, you need to place your meal order ahead of time just so I-H staff can go get the right stuff to fill each meal order. Last year they did take dinner orders the day before or in the am for that evenings dinner. Not that big a deal. They have small kitchen / prep area and don't have large food storage coolers like a restaurant.

Dean, you probably already know this, but the sattlelite images on google maps is always a few years behind. Interestingly enough, the street view is also a year or two behind, but does not correspond to the overhead view for time period. I have looked at different areas of the country and found that the name of a place or color of the building is different between the two.Life is what happens while your planning everything else!
When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

Last year (XS650 rally) we had a documentary about making moonshine playing on the big screen while we had dinner, followed by a screening of "The World's Fastest Indian" while we ate popcorn and enjoyed adult beverages by the fire. It was raining heavily outside. On Saturday night we watched videos of the day's ride, once again, on the big screen. The lodge at the Iron Horse is great for fellowship.Marty (in Mississippi)

The meals were good at I-H however for someone like me who has salt restrictons i found the food overly seasoned...especailly the prime rib...I will have to call them and see what if anything they could do to accomodate me. And as has been said the I-H is in a remote location...nearest town would be Robbinsville so there arent alot of alternatives close by...Last year the Stecoah diner was closed but it ould be nice to have an alternative place to eat.1980 XS650G Special-Two

Places to eat
There are several restaurants in Bryson City, where they also serve/sell adult beverages 7 days a week. Anything from Mexican to Pizza can be had there.
I think only 30 minutes away.

I think there are some good eateries in Bryson City and I will likely explore that option on Sunday evening. Please keep in mind that the Iron Horse is a business. They provide many amenities for their guests that we take full advantage of. Please consider this when you choose where to take your meals, especially if you choose to sleep somewhere else.
I believe this venue suits everyone's needs better than any other single option. You can camp, bunkhouse, or choose room options. There's also a nearby hotel. We have been exploring other venues, but none have as many options as the Iron Horse. What's available in the region usually means everyone in a tent or everyone in rooms.
For those attending the rally, I look forward to your feedback. I'd like to know if you'll continue to attend if we stay here, or will it get stale? Like everyone else who used to stay there, I miss TWO, but that option closed.
Our rally is less than four weeks away. It looks like we may have a record turnout. We have a tee shirt for the first time. (Only a couple days left to put in for those) We have folks coming from out west for the first time. We've put some planning into this gathering and I'm excited about it.
I'll see y'all at the Iron Horse!Marty (in Mississippi)
