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.

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.

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.

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!!)
