    Was married at the pinhook at the fountain and had reception and dancing there too. Honeymoon night also.

    April 30, 2013

    I was married at the pinhook July 8th 2006. We planned a big wedding, reception and honeymoon night there. It was great! The only thing I did not like is that a couple came up to stay just as my wedding was winding down. I was hoping for more privacy with all the money I put in. But it still was beautiful and really enjoyed.

    One of the best places I've ever stayed!

    June 21, 2012

    This review comes a little late, since I stayed at Pinhook Plantation in November last year but I wanted to add a glowing review...even if it is 6 months later! I stayed here enroute to Gatlinburg on the most magnificant drive through the Great Smokies. We arrived late at night after a long day driving, but nothing was too much trouble. Our ground floor room was undeniably perfect, beautifully laid out, clean and the homemade cookie went down a treat! Breakfast was superb and the host was incredibly welcoming. Too tired to make a trip to the nearest shop on the night we arrived, we were even given a bottle of wine 'on the house' which made for a lovely couple of hours on the porch looking at the stars! (It was below freezing but we were wrapped up and it didnt matter!) On waking we were blessed with the most magnificant views, with the Smokies in the distance. I've never seen anything so beautiful in all my life. Visiting at Christmas time, the house felt so cosy and warm with a beautifully dressed christmas tree and roaring open fire in the living room. I cannot recommend this place enough!

    5th Anniversary Get Away

    May 29, 2012

    Ellen is a gracious host and a marvelous cook. We were greeted with a very basket and bottle of wine which my wife enjoyed immensely. This was our first experience in a bed and breakfast and we will definitely be returning!

    Great find near the Ocoee River

    September 05, 2011

    This is a very cozy B&B near the Ocoee Olympic Whitewater Rafting Center. Ellen and Don are exceedingly gracious hosts who made us feel right at home. We enjoyed sitting on the rocking chairs on the front porch and seeing the beautiful views of the nearby mountains. We also enjoyed getting to know Pinhook's cats and dogs; without fail Katie the cat welcomed us back after every outing.

    Very Rural

    June 03, 2011

    Although Pinhook Plantation House is in a very rural area, it is definitely worth a visit! The directions on the website are very good, and we found it easily. Thanks for a scrumptious breakfast!!

    How great to find a pet friendly B&B!

    May 31, 2011

    A really charming, unique B&B! It's comfy, friendly and relaxing. My favorite part was the rocking chairs on the wide front porch overlooking the smokey mountains. I was thrilled to find a B&B that was so pet friendly. And friendly is the best descriptive words for the great people that run the inn as well as everyone in the area. We will always remember our stay here. Thanks so much for your hospitality!

    Awesome!

    February 18, 2011

    This was my husband and I's first stay in a bed and breakfast and it was lovely. The room was nice and the bed was very comfortable. The home owners were extremely kind and hospitable. They also cooked phenomenal food. :)

    Innkeeper Response
    Thank you for you kind review. We are proud that we have given you and so many new-to-B&Bing guests a desire to continue enjoying ours and other B&B's in the future. We strive to make your stay a wonderful one.
