Prospect Hill Bed & Breakfast
| We're in Mountain City--close enough to get here quickly (less gas) and far enough to really getaway. Just west of the Blue Ridge - in the far upper east corner Tennessee, 23 minutes from Boone, NC.
| A tree-lined drive leads the 1889 brick mansion on a three-acre hill. Soft earth tones complement antique mission oak furniture and genuine (c. 1997) Stickley. Nothing is stuffy. Relax and enjoy.
| Large guest rooms with great privacy--queen or king beds, hardwood floors, whirlpools for two, in-room fireplaces. Stained glass windows. Balcony with three-state view. Individual heating/cooling plus ceiling fans. Lovely colors, original art and fluffy robes and free candles. Enjoy a homemade breakfast with generous amounts of conversation. This is where relaxation and re-connection are possible.

Here is what guests had to say...
| Innkeeper Response |
Since the guest directed their dissatisfaction at me personally I will respond personally: The situation with this couple is a window into how unique inns are. Inns are "good" or "bad" depending on how individuals respond to individual innkeepers. We are not all alike in personality or perfect every day of the year.
Our job is to create the feel of a perfect home and carefree environment with great conversation which is pleasurable to the guests. Our own lives should never encroach on guests. Sick pets are banished to the back room as are all other manner of personal issues from "real life." Sometimes, as innkeepers, we fail in the banishing act. And for that we are sorry.
Sometimes innkeepers misread their guests. In September my ability to "read" guest needs was impaired by the fact that in the 24 hours prior to their arrival my cat was diagnosed with fatal cancer while MY own heath had become an issue. I was, at best, distracted, and certainly distraught, sad, angry, upset and physically in pain. It is NOT an excuse for not relating to these guests correctly; I did a poor job in September. I was not at my best, cheery, neutral self.
Indeed, they may be people who prefer to eat in silence or prefer no substantive interaction with guests--I missed that entirely.

| Innkeeper Response |
The restaurant in question--not connected to the inn in any way--closed a few days after the guest visited. While we cannot control neighboring businesses, we are always concerned when service and food are not topknotch and we appreciate the comments. We are sorry he had a bad experience.
