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.

My husband and I spent the weekend for my birthday. We truly enjoyed our stay even though I had a broken foot we found things to do thanks to the wonderful owners. Thanks for all the advice on things to do and places to see. The restaurant you suggested was great! We loved the room with balcony so we could smoke without going downstairs. Great place to stay. Loved learning the history of the house. Thanks for such great hospitality.

The house was nice. Robert was congenial and helpful. On the other hand, Judy used crude language, offered unsolicited opinions, provided unappetizing commentary during breakfast, and continually made snide remarks.

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.

We were very pleased with Prospect Hill and greatly enjoyed our weekend in Mountain City, TN. Robert and Judy Hotchkiss were perfect hosts and the breakfast meals were wonderful. The Rose Romance Room was all it was described to be and more. We greatly enjoyed our extra package that included cake, an ice cream sundae, nice robes, and wonderful items for the upstairs spa. We were greatly impressed with the home and grounds, as well as the quaint and hearty local eateries, such as The Tributary. We would definitely stay there again.

My wife and I got married last week at Prospect Hill. Judy and Robert did a great job taking good care of us. It was just the two of us in the wedding party. We had written our vows which the local minister read just as we wrote them. For trips we did the 17 mile Virginia Creeper down hill bike ride and rafted the Watauga River for a couple of hours. We would highly recommend these folks for any size wedding party. Their website is fantastic. Lots of good info. Call Judy and talk if you have questions.

We chose Prospect Inn for our elopement wedding, which included a two night stay. Everything was absolutely perfect!

We hope to visit in the future for anniversaries!

do not go to the pizza place they recommend in Mountain City accross from the grocery store. It was the dirtiest place I have ever been in, in my entire life. Can't remember the name of it.

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.

Very Large beautiful home expertly converted into a B&B with large bathrooms in large rooms. Very nice owners, willing and helpful to tell about the area and provide a very nice breakfast. A very nice place to stay. I would recommend it to anyone. And of course it's location in the isolated mountain community adds to it's charm. The first european families to arrive in Tennessee settled here, which was part of the reason for our visit.

This is the most beautiful B&B we have stayed at at this point. We stayed in the romance rose room on the 1st floor and it was amazing. We could have stayed there forever. It was like living in a castle surrounded by mountains. Breathtaking and beautiful. Thanks Judy and Robert. We will be seeing you again!

After arriving at Prospect Hill, we realized that we had found the perfect spot to "get away from it all" for a relaxing weekend in the mountains. The innkeepers amazing hospitality and attention to even the smallest detail was greatly appreciated, and made our stay even more special. Both Judy and Robert had an intensive knowledge on the surrounding areas and were full of wonderful recommendations for activities and dining. The breakfasts were excellent and a anticipated part of our trip ;) I recommend this B&B to anyone who is looking for a slower paced relaxing romantic weekend in a intimate enviornment with wonderful people!!!

I recently stayed at Prospect Hill, along with my entire family, and had my wedding there in Robert and Judy's beautiful garden. Everything about our stay was relaxing and lovely, from the wonderful accomodations to the great food. Robert and Judy are friendly and accomodating and we were always very comfortable in their home. I am particularly pleased with all of the work Judy put into helping me make arrangements for our ceremony, and at an extremely low fee. I hope to stay at Prospect Hill many times in the future and I would heartily reccomend it for anyone looking for a romantic place to stay in the mountains, or a wonderful place to elope!

My sister had her wedding at Prospect Hill, and my husband and I stayed there for the weekend. Not only was the weekend a beautiful and relaxing stay, the Innkeepers went out of their way to help with the wedding. The rooms were wonderful, especially the little pocket porch upstairs, the garden is gorgeous, the food was INCREDIBLE. I would recommend this to anyone who wanted a romantic weekend getaway or a small wedding. I plan on going back soon!

Photo Album

A Cottage in the Woods--our 3BR/2BA house on 30 acres just minute from the Virginia Creeper Trail with hiking on the property. (Not adjacent to the B&B inn.) Kids and dogs welcome. The cottage is a full size, 1300 sq.ft. house with full kitchen, including microwave, two modern baths, sizable living room/dining combo, deck and all that wonderful nature just outside the door. Sleeps up to 7. All linens, dishes, everything you need provided. Bring your food. Great activities just a short drive away. $125/night plus $25/person, child or dog. Two night min. required.Viewed from the inn about 6:30 a.m..... Tennessee's first sunrise over Forge Mountain. Stunning.
Room 4 - Justin's Hideaway where there's privacy and a large fireplace and whirlpool tub with a rain shower just for the two of you. Queen bed and a lovely new green color scheme.When it's time to getaway...when it's time to relax...our whirlpool tubs are all sized for the two of you. Pictured in the extra-deluxe bathroom in Rose/Romance Room #2. ALL our guest rooms include candles, snacks, robes for your use, TV, free wireless, a phone line, central heat and air with individual controls and really great privacy and probably the largest guest rooms in the region where NC, VA and Tennessee come together.
We offer elopements for two and weddings with many guests (in our new Pavilion Room and wedding garden). We make weddings easy with our Ten Question Method. Make 10 decisions and let us do the rest. Elopement coordination and facility fee $100 plus minister and license fees. For larger groups: Enjoy the Mountain Pavilion Room rental from $100/hour. Beautiful space and many extras included. Weekend rental (5 rooms + wedding space) $2600-$3300.Room 5-your own balcony with three-state view. (Smoking permitted on balcony). Queen bed, large room and gas log stove. Bath is quite large with a large (new) shower and our antique claw tub for soaking. Cable TV, robes, candles, bubble bath, ceiling fan, central heat/air. Very relaxing without a taxing price tag.
Bathroom in Room 4 - Delightful whirlpool tub for two with rain shower. A small ledge around the room provides a perfect spot for the candles--provided by the inn.Room 2 decked out in "extra candles" for a very special proposal--yes, she said "yes." Romance and great privacy is one reason why guests choose Prospect Hill.
As you turn off the highway, this is what you see in summer.Choose and Cut your own fraser fir Christmas tree. "The season" begins right after the first frost--usually the first weekend in November. The busiest time is the weekend after Thanksgiving. Plan to get your wonderful live, fresh tree now. Families may wish to rent A Cottage in the Woods (2-night minimum). You may bring your dog to the cottage AND to the tree cutting. And why does that man have a white stick? To tell how tall the tree is (so it will fit in your house!!)
