Hi there! We’re so glad you found us. I’m Tina, and my husband is Paul. Together, we’re the proud owners of this little slice of heaven we call Leeric Lodge & Resort (pronounced "lyric") on Center Hill Lake.

​

Our journey to this dream has been one filled with adventure and love. Paul and I met years ago while I was traveling abroad—he was serving in the U.S. Army at the time. At the young ages of 24 and 27, we said "I do" in my home state of Michigan and honeymooned in Gatlinburg.

​

Like so many Michiganders who visit Tennessee, we instantly fell in love with the area. But unlike most, we knew we never wanted to leave. That trip planted a dream in our hearts, one we carried with us for decades.

​

For the past 29 years, Tennessee has felt like a second home. We’ve traveled through its hills and hollers more times than we can count—four times a year, in fact! We often joke that we’ve probably seen more of Tennessee than some natives.

​

Over ten years ago, we embraced a full-time RV lifestyle, exploring the country and making unforgettable memories. That chapter brought so much joy and adventure, and it also helped us realize something—we have a deep love for creating spaces where people can come together, relax, and feel cared for.

​

When we stumbled upon this property in 2021, we just knew it was meant to be. The home needed some love—it was rocking the full '90s vibe—but we could see its potential. We rolled up our sleeves, poured in our passion, and little by little, brought the magic back to this place.

​

We named it Leeric Lodge & Resort as a nod to our connection. "Leeric" combines our middle names—Lee and Eric—a small but meaningful reminder of the commitment and teamwork that made this dream a reality.

​

Our goal here is simple: to create a space where people can feel truly present, set aside their worries, and just be. Whether it’s celebrating love, gathering with family, or stealing a quiet moment of solitude, we want every corner of the Lodge, glamping suites, and property to offer comfort and connection.

​

We’ve poured our hearts into every detail of Leeric Lodge. From cozy nooks in the Lodge to serene spots by the pool, every part of this place is designed to invite you to pause, laugh, and make memories with those you care about most.

​

So whether you’re planning a wedding, a reunion, retreat, corporate event, or just looking for a peaceful escape, we’re here to welcome you with open arms and a healthy dose of Southern hospitality.

We can’t wait for you to experience the beauty and warmth of Leeric Lodge & Resort—a labor of love that we’re so proud to share with you.
