Monteagle Inn

Our stay was short but very sweet. I loved the common areas and the wonderful porch. The room was extremely neat and comfortable. The breakfast was delightful and the staff was very accommodating. I would recommend this B&B to any of my friends. Can't wait to stay again.

Gorgeous Inn & Retreat Center that will surely help you get away. I recently held a Women's workshop at Monteagle and I couldn't be more pleased with everything. From start to finish planning this event was one of the easiest I've planned because Jim & Lee are extraordinary. You will instantly feel like family and never want to leave, I know I didn't. The food is amazing, the rooms are top notch and the service can't be beat. I suggest going here for your next retreat or just for a weekend getaway with a loved one. It's absolutely beautiful.

Kathy and I enjoyed our stay due to the fact Jim and Lee were excellent hosts and really know how to run a B&B.....every little detail for a pleasant stay are meticiusly attended to. They still have the passion for running a B&B to make for a wonderful and memorable visit. in March 2012. Walt

We returned to the Monteagle Inn last weekend for our second stay. It had been 5 years since we were there the first time and everything was as wonderful as ever. The staff and service are above and beyond the norm for most inns and the food is wonderful. There isn't anything that the owners and staff wouldn't try to do to help make one's visit as pleasant as possible. I look forward to my next trip back and I hope it won't be another 5 years.

We will return- the New Year's Eve weekend we spent was a wonderful introduction to this inn. We are anxious to return in the warm months during this spring.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Monteagle Inn. I was needing some time to just relax, as I care for my 90 year old mother in my home. My sister from California came to visit and told us to go somewhere to get away. We chose Monteagle. We've driven through Monteagle quite a few times on the way to visit my daughter in Murfreesboro, TN. I just love the mountains, so we decided to go to Monteagle Inn. I had bought a coupon from Living Social a few months back and finally got the opportunity to go. When we arrived, Jim met us in the foyer. He took us on a tour of the Inn before showing us our room, so we felt familiar with the different rooms. We loved the nice relaxed feeling. Jim and Lee were very hospitable. We went out to eat that night and when we returned, there was a nice bottle of wine waiting for us. They had cheese and crackers in the refrigerator, downstairs, waiting for us too. We just really enjoyed the quiet peaceful feel of the Inn. Our room was very clean. You could tell things were kept up and taken care of. They were replacing some doors at the time we were there. Both Jim and Lee were very nice. We enjoyed our time there.

We stayed on a living social deal, and had a great time. We knew about this place but never got around to finding time. Great wine list, relaxing atmosphere and lovely owners. Check it out!!!!

Warm, welcoming, spotlessly clean, delicious breakfast...we are regular visitors at B&Bs in the SE and this one is great. We enjoyed meeting Mark upon arrival: warm greeting, nice tour and dinner recommendations within walking distance were awaiting us. Following a very restful evening, Jim and Lee offered a sweet and savory breakfast, dressed with vegetables and herbs right from the garden. Do not miss this wonderful B&B when you are in this area.

We enjoyed this trip so much and will definitely be back! Jim and staff were so gracious and we felt welcome and at home from the moment we "stepped-in"!

When walking around the beautiful grounds my husband said it reminded him of when we spent his birthday in France. It was wonderful to be able to spend time on the porch which has several conversation groupings so that you can have privacy with your own group if you want to. Good current magazines are in the rooms and on the porches. Another nice touch is the lemonade, soft drinks, water and cookies available at all times for no extra charge. The breakfast is outstanding and the dining room lovely and comfortable. We have stayed in Inns and B & Bs in this country and in Europe and this is one of the best. It is not inexpensive, but we never felt that it was overpriced as we sometimes have in other places. The innkeepers are outstanding. I would highly recommend this inn to anyone looking for a relaxing beautiful place to stay.

The staff was friendly and very accomodating. The room was comfortable. The bed and linen were wonderful. Breakfast was well prepared and delicious. My wife and I will definitely stay here again.

For the past 3 years we have stayed at the Monteagle Inn over the 4th of July holiday, and found that it is the best place to relax and to enjoy the local Celebrations in Monteagle and Sewanee, Tn.(The home of the University of the South). From the front porch of the Inn, you can comfortable sit and watch the annual Partiotic parade, and enjoy lemonade and brownies during the festivities, always covered in Red, White and Blue! The Inn is located across the street from the entrance to the MSSA, and is very convenient for visiting with family and friends, who are staying in the Assembly for the holiday. The accomodations are luxurious, and the grounds include a spectacular vegetable garden, flower garden and tree-shaded hammocks for guests to enjoy. The gourmet breakfast that comes with your accomodations, incorporated the vegetables and herbs grown in the garden, and are more than just your plain eggs and bacon! The staff is warm and friendly, and takes care of your every need, while you are there. Homemade refreshments remain accessible to all guest, free of charge, through-out the day. It is especially a treat to end your day, out on the front porch, with a glass of wine, or your favorite beverage, visiting with other guests who have made it a priority to spend their stay at the Monteagle Inn. We don't always need a holiday to visit the Monteagle Inn; just anytime we want to get away from big city life and take in a deep breath of mountain air! I'm checking my calendar for the next time we can go back! Thanks to Jim and Lee for always making each trip delightful!

My husband and I were needing quiet and rest when we visited our newly born granddaughter. Our stay at Monteagle Inn was a wonderful experience of quiet, beauty, excellence and hospitality. The wide porches offered serenity and rest as we enjoyed a cup of coffee early in the morning after a brisk morning walk. Breakfast was delicious and varied but offering choices within our calorie needs with plenty of fresh fruit. We strolled through the garden after sleeping soundly on comfortable beds and standing for a long while under the rain-shower head. But perhaps the most relaxation we found was swinging in the hammocks on the grounds, staring up at the sky through the green leaves of a maple tree.

AMAZING place to stay. The rooms are a little small, but furnished wonderfully. The staff is welcoming and friendly and can tell you some interesting things to do near by. The grounds are beautiful. The breakfast is amazing, there is a hot meal choice that is always super. Plus there is cereal, fruit, breads, and a wide variety of tea, coffee, and juices. Fresh fruit and herbs come from the garden on site. The wine selection is great and is always growing. The inn also provides small games and activities to play on site! The costs of staying here is at least double of anything else in the area, but if you can swing it, its a wonderful place to stay.

Celebrated our 4th Anniversary and upon check-in we should have had a bottle of wine and chocolate covered strawberries, but they forgot:-( The Innkeeper for the night later brought us a complimentry cheese and fruit tray so we would have something that night:-) The property and the staff were beautiful and made our stay enjoyable and our Anniversary special. We would go and stay at the Inn again!

We called at the last minute, and were received with open arms. Beautiful grounds, quiet surroundings.

We have stayed at the Monteagle Inn many times. If you have a child at Sewanee, it is these are the most lovely and gracious accommodations in the area. Jim and Lee go out of their way to provide a "home away from home" for all their guests. I consider the Inn to be my retreat and restorative weapon in the chaos of college event weekends. The breakfasts are fabulous, and I recently learned the kitchen cooks with heart healthy ingredients, which makes the delicious breakfasts even more enjoyable. There is nowhere else I would consider staying when we are in the area.

We had a great time. Thanks for all the care you showed us. And we really appreciated our spotless room.

We recently stayed at the Monteagle Inn for a weekend getaway from Nashville. The location was very convenient for us. Although it is not on the most picturesque street, the inn itself is beautiful and an inviting oasis away from everyday life. Our room was upgraded due to a slow weekend. The room was lovely and well-appointed with fabulous 600-thread count bedding. There were extensive common areas with seating from relaxing by the fireplace to reading a book on the porch (with reading lights!). There were multiple seating options in the dining room. Breakfast was delicious and filling, and we were offered seconds. We also partook of a wine dinner while there. The five-course dinner was wonderful, and the wine tasting was very educational. Additionally, there was an extensive wine cellar on site offering reasonably priced selections. The inn was within walking distance of a great local restaurant, Modern Dave's. It was also a great home base for lots of local day hikes in South Cumberland State Park. The staff was very gracious and accommodating, especially Jim Harmon who was extremely helpful in suggesting wine selections. It was a wonderful weekend away, and we will definitely be back!

We were very fortunate to find the Inn when our daughter selected to go to college at Sewanee. It is a wonderful place, Jim and his entire staff go out of there to make you feel like you are part of there family and they certainly take care of every need you might have during your stay. I assure you even when our daughter graduates from Sewanee in the 2012 we will still return to the Inn for enjoyable relaxing times.

James and Lee are wonderful hosts. The entire Inn is spotlessly clean. The toiletries are the best of quality and smell divine! Very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We would love to go back to attend a wine tasting dinner. M & C Franklin, TN

Monteagle Inn provided us a wonderful 3 day stay that included a beautiful room, lovely common areas that were comfortable, an attention to detail and service that cannot be matched. Jim and his staff truly want you to have the trip you have planned and will do anything to support that happening. You can do nothing, you can do a lot! Breakfast is wonderful; afternoon cookies yummy!

The Monteagle Inn made me want to move to Tennessee--it's a beautiful, comfortable, friendly place.

Monteagle Inn is lovely and restful and the breakfast is absolutely wonderful! We always go back when we are in the area.

The owner upgraded our room to the Bridal Veil Falls Room...it was wonderful! The linens were fantastic! Then he offered us a complimentary bottle of champagne to help us celebrate our anniversary! The breakfast food was fantastic! The complimentary center was stocked with waters, teas, coffees, and cookies. The gardens were beautiful at day and at night! The inside of the house is just lovely! You will not find a nicer staff or a more peaceful stay!

We greatly enjoyed our get-away at Monteagle Inn. Everything was perfect. Highly recommend this to others. We hope to return in a few months.

We were thrilled with Monteagle Inn. Our daughter has already been informed as to what we'd like next Christmas.

We absolutely loved our entire weekend! The room was beautifully decorated, private, and very relaxing. The cleanliness of the room and inn was unsurpassed! We were given a gracious room upgrade, too! We have traveled quite extensively and stayed in many bed & breakfasts and this is one of our favorites! We appreciated the seating arrangements for breakfast, which were private tables versus a homestyle, large table like others we've visited. I had to chuckle at some of the comments about the "sparse" breakfasts because ours were so large we couldn't even make a dent in them. We can't wait to return.

A lovely inn, with beautiful public rooms, furnished with the most comfortable couches and chairs. My room was very pretty with nice natural light, a comfortable bed , comfortable chairs, and good bathroom lighting for applying makeup! A wonderful breakfast is included in room rate and served in a very nice dining room. Guests can enjoy a downstairs pantry of soft drinks, ice, home baked goodies, lemonade and coffee and teas at anytime.

Monteagle Inn is a gracious, hospitable, and elegant home away from home. The staff is so efficient and friendly that I also feel like part of the family. This is the best B&B I've visited.

Dressed for the holidays, the inn was even more welcoming. My room was perfect - really first class. Can't wait to return.

We reserved the entire inn for our daughter's wedding reception and for friends and family to stay. We kept hearing from everyone how it couldn't have been a more perfect place. So many things were wonderful - elegant rooms with super comfortable beds, sitting areas, views and some with balconies; multiple living areas inside and out, especially the living room where we could play games and visit, the covered porch and the outside hammocks; the breakfasts together; and of course the reception with plenty of great food and wine! Jim and Andrea were so gracious in helping us plan our stay, coordinating everything and welcoming our Texas group. We're from Austin, TX, yet we felt so comfortable in helping our daughter organize the wedding reception from so far away. We had no worries that things would be done right and they were!

My girlfriends and I had a relaxing and comfortable stay at the Monteagle Inn. The staff was friendly and accomodating. It's a wonderful place to relax and unwind.

The staff was the most wonderful I've ever encountered - they deserve a raise! The room was nice though somewhat too small, and the breakfast was sparse for the money. Overall, however, it was a nice experience.

We had a wonderful stay at the Monteagle Inn. I was blown away by the service and comfort of the place. We were well-taken care of and felt the freedom to just relax. I highly recommend this place.

this is the best inn i have been in...i have traveled alot and this inn winns the cake..first , linda met us at the door when we arrived.. she could not have been nicer..she told us all about the inn, where everything was located...i have never seen so many different kinds of coffee and teas..the supply of sodas and water was the best...the rooms were wonderful..we had dinner in one night and had the whole place to ourselves ( five of us )..the fire place going, candel light..the movie after dinner..it was just like being at home..in the early morning when you went to make one of the many coffee's offered, jim, the owner would meet you with a wonderful southern smile and ask if there was anything he could get you...i live in new jersey and go to florida for 2 months in the winter and i would drive through monteagle just to stay at this place again.. thanks to jim and his staff for a wonderful stay...

Our group rented out the entire inn and we were treated like royalty. This is our 4th year doing this and when I drive up it's like coming home. The staff goes out of their way to make sure we are well cared for and are attentive to our every need. I wish I could stay with them more often.

If only all bed and breakfast inns could be this wonderful!! I had such a delightful stay at the Monteagle Inn that I am telling my friends they need to go just for the experience! From the moment I drove onto the premises, I was charmed. Beautiful vegetable/herb and butterfly gardens surround the inn with the back side being a courtyard with filled with lovely planted containers. Stepping onto a front porch that beckons one to sit and stay a while confirmed the charm of the gardens. The lobby and common rooms are well appointed and invite you to sit down and read or play chess/checkers. The rooms are serene with light colors, good lighting, and comfortable and beds. The bathrooms are spotless. You can't wait to wake up for the delicious breakfast- egg burritos with cilantro corn pudding, praline french toast, frittatas- just to name a few! Best coffee around and plenty of it. Jim and his staff go out of their way to make sure your stay is perfect. From ironed sheets to homemade cookies and lemonade for snacks, they provide a home away from home. This last weekend was my third time to stay at the Monteagle Inn and I wouldn't consider anywhere else in the area. Thanks y'all- can't wait for my next reunion!

Highlights of our stay included a lovely cross-breeze running through our corner room and breakfast prepared with just-picked tomatoes from the Inn's garden. We'll be back next year!

Quite simply our stay was too short... we'll be back! Jim was a great host and prepared a superb breakfast. The Inn is beautiful and well appointed, including a wine cellar that we'll take advantage of next time.

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying here during the July 4th weekend. We enjoyed the parade from the front lawn and the holiday decorations surrounding the inn. Our room was wonderful and the service from the innkeeper and staff were impeccable. We look forward to making this inn our yearly holiday tradition. Thank you!

What a treat to stay at a very clean and comfortable B&B. Superb breakfast and friendly chef and staff. Much better experience than Blackberry Farm.

This was our first B&B stay, what an experience! The rooms were beautiful and the cleanest ever; the staff were so warm and helpful; the food was superior and the gardens were starting to bud. What a perfect escape!

This is very well-appointed inn. Quiet and relaxing. Hard to find in all the business of our lives.

We just found the perfect getaway!! My Husband and I just had the most wonderful weekend at the Monteagle Inn. We felt at "home" and yet pampered and very well taken care of by the staff. The room was just beautiful as well as the den downstairs. We simply could not have had a more wonderful weekend. Go!!

Comfortable weekend getaway convenient to Nashville and Chattanooga. Breakfast was a bit sparse, but quality food. very clean.

What a beautiful b & b!! From the moment we entered, we felt right at home. The inn was exceptional in every way - very, very nice, clean and accomodating. We look forward to returning to this relaxing inn.

Wonderful location, fantastic food, very accomadating host!

My husband and I made a weekend trip for a second honeymoon. Monteagle Inn was perfect! Luxurious linens, very private, beautiful setting. Great healthy breakfast and snacks. Fantastic nearby restaurants (Pearl's and High Point), hiking (to burn off the calories from dinner), scenery, history. We are hooked and want to come back several times a year. So close to Nashville!

Wow...the Monteagle Inn has got to be one of the nicest and most relaxing places that my wife and I have ever been. The breakfasts were amazing, common areas were relaxing, our suite had the best amenities and the staff could not have made our visit any more perfect. I will definitely be back.

From the moment we walked in the door, we felt right at home. The decor is fabulous and welcoming, the hosts are amazing in their knowledege of the area and encouraging us to enjoy ourselves. Best B&B breakfast ever. What a wine list-wow!
