    Photo Album

    Savannah is our grandest room and a favorite with Brides and Anniversary couples.  It has a large bow window facing Southwest towards the Mountains forming the Eastern rim of the Smoky Mountains National Park. The lace-canopied King sized pencil post bed is a reproduction in mahogany of an 18th century federal style bed. In addition to having a top-of-the-line pillow top mattress, it also has a feather bed, and in the colder months, is covered with a luxurious goose-down duvet.  The lace canopy drapes can be left tied back as shown or allowed to hang free around the bed to create the ultimate romantic atmosphere.
All of the other furnishings in the room are genuine antiques, mostly from the late Victorian period. The artwork includes original paintings.  The room is air conditioned, and has cable television with VCR, a refrigerator and a telephone.
The large bathroom is surrounded with windows looking onto Eagles Nest Mountain and is fitted with a two-person Jacuzzi whirlpool bath
    Exeter Room is named for a famous old cathedral town in the County of Devon in England, a town which has special memories for the Innkeepers.  Exeter is our "Morning" room, facing East, it is the first one to get the morning sunshine. It is decorated in Spring colors with greens and gold, and has a view of the mountains and forest of the Lickstone Ridge.  The room has one richly carved mahogany Queen sized bed, which is fitted with a thick pillow-top mattress, topped with a soft luxurious feather bed.  During the colder months, as the photograph above shows, the bed is covered with a soft goose-down comforter.
The Exeter room is air conditioned, it has cable television and a private bathroom with shower.The dining room at Prospect Hill is a splendid formal dining room as one would expect in a Victorian country home.  Richly wainscotted in cherry and maple, with a plate rail to hold the Innkeepers' collection of 19th century flow-blue plates.  The large mahogany banquet table is elegantly set with fine china and sterling silver tableware.  Candles and flowers complete the scene for an oustanding gourmet breakfast. 
Crêpes, soufflés, Belgian Waffles, Eggs Benedict, or other fine breakfast entrées complemented by home-made coffee cake and fresh fruit are served for our guests here every morning.
    The Cottage at Prospect Hill is located on the same property, behind the main house and is also served by a private driveway from the rear.  It overlooks a quiet street and the mountains beyond which make up the Eastern rim of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.  It was once the Carriage House for the original owners of Prospect Hill at the end of the 1900's and now contains two very comfortable holiday apartments.The Apartments each contain a very comfortably furnished living room with cable television and a picture window which looks directly onto Eagle's Nest Mountain to the west.  The Kitchenette contains a range, refrigerator, microwave oven, coffee maker and toaster; there is stainless steel cutlery and cookware, and melamine tableware. Each apartment has its own private entrance, a shared telephone is on the porch, and parking is a few steps away.
The second floor bedroom has one King size feather bed and one single bed, and a full bathroom with tub and/or shower, an infant's cot is also available.  The entire apartment is paneled with knotty pine.

  The Cottage enjoys the same advantages of location as does the Main House.  We are walking distance from the old town center with its cafes and gift and antique shops, the library is 100 yards away, the Post Office, 200 yards, Methodist, Baptist, Episcopal, Presbyterian and Catholic churches are a short walk away.
    A view of the bedroom in the cottage apartment.Paris is the room which is the repository for some of the items collected during trips to one of our favorite cities including artwork purchased in the Louvre. The room has one Queen sized four poster bed, a reproduction of the Charleston Rice Bed. The pillow-top mattress has a feather bed to top it off, and in the colder months, its covered with a goose-down comforter. It's like sleeping on a cloud !
The room is air conditioned and has a separate small sitting area with easy chairs,  a telephone, refrigerator and cable TV. On the evening side of the house, it's a wonderful room in which to relax and enjoy the sunset over the Balsam Ridge and Eagle's Nest Mountain. There is a private bathroom with a double-sized shower
    The Waynesville Room overlooks the town of Waynesville with its flood-lit church spires and the mountains beyond. This room has a King sized four poster bed. The bed is fitted with top of the line pillow-top mattress and a feather bed. During the colder months, there is a goose-down comforter to insure your absolute comfort. The room contains more art than any other room in the house including 2 original Audubons.
The room is air conditioned and has a private bathroom with a conventional tub/shower combination. The room has an adjoining small sitting room which has cable television with a DVD player and a refrigerator.The Tybee Room is located on the Southwest corner of the house, it receives both morning and afternoon sunshine, and enjoys a view of the wooded slopes of Wolfpen Mountain to the East and the Balsam Ridge to the South. It is boldly decorated in shades of Royal Blue and Gold. The room has a Queen sized bed. The mattress is topped with a luxurious feather bed and as shown, is covered during the winter months with a goose-down comforter.
