  • Inn Details

    Sit around the the fireplace in your suite or in the Gathering Room and the warm hospitality at the Pinhook Plantation House Bed & Breakfast. This 200 year old B & B is surrounded by the beautiful scenery of the Hiwassee River and Cherokee National Forest. Lots of specialty shops nearby as well as local wineries. Enjoy the Historic train ride along the Hiwassee.... Guest comments include "Our first B&B experience and boy, did we choose right." A country living and Southern Living gem." Check availability on our website. Quaint villages for antiquing or nearby Chattanooga or Knoxville attractions will give you a lots to do during your stay with us. Whitewater rafting at the 1996 Olympic Site is a great place to spend an afternoon or just enjoy the hammock between the majestic magnolia trees or our rocking chair porches and balcony and view the changing leaves of Fall, the distant snowy mountain caps in Winter, the freshness of a Spring breeze and all the colors of Summer. Come and relax in our spacious Suites, with private baths. The original heart pine floors have been restored as they were so long ago and the hand-made brick fireplaces have gas-logs for those chilly, romantic evenings. Each suite has fine linens and toiletries. Secluded, but close to all area attractions, it's also ideal for intimate weddings and elopements.

    Pinhook plantation was such a wonderful and cozy place to stay and visit! We loved the room with its charm and beautiful colors. Ellen was such an accommodating proprietor and a great cook. We cannot wait to go back and visit. The animals are super friendly and easy going. You cannot find a better view from the front door . What a wonderful place to stay! !.

    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

    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!!

    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!

    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. :)
