Longing For Home Bed and Breakfast -- Our Library is well stock with a wide range of subjects. Come relax and read that book you have been trying to find time for.
With 15-acres, Longing For Home is a great place for an out-door wedding.
Longing For Home Bed and Breakfast "Breakfast Room" features and antique book case and stove as serving areas. Enjoy a huge breakfast while you gaze out the window to the world of nature all around.
Select Country Graces for your romantic escape or as a quiet retreat from a hectic pace of life and become captured by the feelings of romance and grace from an era long past.
Indulge yourself and let the concerns of the day melt away as your sink into your luxurious Jacuzzi whirlpool tub or ease the tensions of life blanketed in the pulsating waters of your step down shower. Spend the evening hours reconnecting as you gaze into the flickering flames of this room’s fireplace. Select Sunshine Daydreams for a romantic escape or much needed getaway and let time stand still until you awake in the treetops. Enjoy the first taste of rich morning coffee from your private balcony. From the super deluxe bedding of a king size Select Comfort bed to the soft chandelier lighting suspended above the whirlpool bath, Sunshine Daydreams conjures “A State of Mind” seldom found these days.
This room is truly the perfect escape from the hectic pace of life and a safe haven that reaches back to a less complicated time when simple pleasures were more highly valued. Inspired by the Shaker designs of the late 18th and early 19thcenturies, at first glance Simple Pleasures seems less ornate – but don’t be fooled. As you enter this cozy room, your eyes are first drawn to a beautifully adorned queen sized Select Comfort bed that is perfect for an afternoon of snuggling or a well desired nap. Quickly, your eye perceives a full wall of built-in shelves and desk area and then a nested reading nook that will draw you toward a simpler “Way of Life.” Take time to hand write a letter to a classmate from your school days or to a special friend. Curl up in the reading nook and explore that novel you have always wanted to read.
For those seeking an excursion into nature from within the safe confines of a fully screened country porch - we suggest “The Sleeping Porch.” Select this “bug free room” to make an adventure out of an overnight stay. In this unique, open air accommodation sip hot chocolate and enjoy the majestic beauty of a southern sunset while rocking gently in the old-style rocking chairs that adorn your own sitting area. Let the pressures of life and “that aching back” relax as you indulge yourself in the unique “steam room” that adjoins the porch. Fall asleep on a comfortable king-size bed while viewing the southern night skies and enjoy a cool evening breeze. Awake, refreshed to songs of the birds and sounds of nature.
Our gazebo set surrounded by wildflowers and over looking Weaver Branch Creek is the perfect for a wedding or just to set and relax.
The East Deck over looks the lower pasture and is a great place to relax and enjoy the beauties of nature.
Think back to when you visited your Grand Parents and got to sleep out on the porch. Re-live that experience on our "bug-free" Sleeping Porch.
Enjoy the bueaty of nature that surrounds you during your stay with us at Longing For Home.
For those that choose Sunshine Daydreams step out on to this rooms exclusive deck to enjoy your morning coffee, enjoy breakfast and experience the sights and sounds of a awaking world of nature.
Relax in our large swiming pool.
Longing For Home offers common areas that are fully of luxury and comfort. Our "Living Room" is a great place to enjoy a movie or converstation.

August 30, 2012
We found Longing for Home two years ago and fell in love. We have visited alot of bed and breakfast thru out the United States and at Longing For Home it is the only one that has been able to blend Old style with modern comfort. The owners Bill and Betty are welcoming and great company. It is comfortable, welcoming, stylish oh and I have to say they do have by far have the best food you will ever encounter at a bed and breakfast. Betty is a wonderful cook and there is always a surprize waiting for you when you come down to eat in the morning. The grounds are kept up and there is walking trails, swimming pool, jacuzzi, and great places to just sit in nature. I would recommend this bed and breakfast to everyone. You cannot go wrong.

July 24, 2012
dh and I just spent a wonderful, relaxing weekend here in Simple Pleasures. The pictures do not do it justice! The home, rooms and setting are inviting and lovely. We spent time antiquing, sightseeing - Wheeler Lake, Wilson Dam, other nearby sites - but spent the majority of our time relaxing around the house. We enjoyed a night under the stars in the hot tub, hiked around the 15 acre spread and into Rogersville and indulged in the library of books and movies at our disposal. Between the quiet setting, luxurious sheets and the sleep number bed my slumber was the best I can remember! Now about the hosts-Bill & Betty (B&B of course! It was meant to be!) They are thoughtful, helpful and full of stories. (You can believe every single one that Bill tells you but only Betty knows the correct endings.) Not only do they put hard work into running the B&B but it's obvious they put their heart into it also. Their genuine warmth and positive energy had everyone feeling at home. As others have said, you leave there feeling that you have made new friends and want to return for a visit another day. Thanks so much for everything, Laurie & Mike
