Historic Timberfell Lodge

The response was astonishing, and the Lodge grew in popularity. By 1990, Timberfell Lodge expanded even further. A 20′ by 40′ heated swimming pool and adjoining pool house was constructed. The facility houses a beer bar, bath house, redwood sauna and steamroom. In 1992, the Barn was converted to a dormitory for summer staff, and the Annex opened with more guest rooms. A clothing optional policy was instituted, and was a great success. In January 2000, Timberfell Lodge was sold. The new owners, Stephen Johnson & Bill Gillenwater, realized the great potential in Timberfell Lodge. David Yoder was a pioneer in this industry, and the innkeepers wished to revive this pioneering spirit and energy, and to bring Timberfell Lodge into the new millennium as the premier men’s retreat in the Southeast United States. Timberfell under Bill and Steve kept growing adding new RV levels and new amenities. Bill & Steve contributed significantly to the infrastructure and ground roots of Timberfell today, keeping the business afloat during some of the worst economic times in the resorts history. In May 2022 Timberfell Lodge was sold to a campground corporation with Michael Blan, it's President & CEO overseeing. With a strong infrastructure and foundation, the new ownership's goal was to take the property into the future. In late 2022, the resort started a massive 2.5 million dollar expansion.
