    January 03, 2013

    The most relaxing and accommodating place we've ever stayed! The grounds are immaculate and nestled in a breathtaking setting among rolling hills and a lake. The staff are genuine, accommodating and so generous to serve. The room was pristine, comfortable and had a luxurious, pampering touch from the spa shower and huge jacuzzi tub. My wife and I absolutely loved everything about our three night stay and plan to return as soon as we can! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Simply Amazing

    July 20, 2012

    Whitestone is one of the most welcoming, relaxing and beautiful places any person could ever visit. This is truly a place touched by the hand of God himself. From the staff, the food to the wonderful suites. The views, birds and other wildlife- the experience will take your breath away. My husband and I have become regular visitors and we are looking forward to our next stay and a relaxing massage in the spa. Thank you Paul and staff for providing such a wonderful place for us to enjoy.

    Wonderful place for R&R!

    May 23, 2012

    We just celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary at Whitestone and really enjoyed it! We needed a place to rest and relax and that's what we got! Dinner and breakfast was wonderful! We went for a ride on a canoe, which was very nice and then hung out in the hammocks. The staff was very friendly. My only complaint: We were in the bottom room of the Entrance Barn (which is old) and could hear everything going on upstairs. Every time they used the water in any way, it sounded like water was coming down into our room. We will go back, I will just make sure we stay in either a newer room or in the upper level of the barn.

    Perfect place to relax!

    April 11, 2012

    From the first day we arrived we were treated like family. The greeter, Patricia, explained the facilities and personally showed us to our room. She talked to us like we were friends. The food, room, and amenities were excellent. We really needed a place to unwind and relax. The Canadian Goose room we stayed in had a wonderful view. We made friends with the gardener "wolfie" and he gave us some advice on some of the hiking trails. Touring the place, taking hikes, and the scenery, was totally spectacular. My wife caught her first fish in one of the remote ponds. On one of my wife's early morning walks she encountered five deer on the hill by the chapel. On another day, we toured the Sanctuary and the Point and saw other deer. We thought we had seen everything until we hiked up to the top of the mountain and spent time overlooking the lake. The spring weather, the dogwoods blooming, the sun rise views, and evening sunsets were awesome. Between the ping pong matches and the croquet competition we found time to sit in the swing or the hammock and watch the moon come up. Paul, the owner is a man with an awesome heart. We didn't know the history behind the place when we made reservations. After a few talks with Paul, it didn't take long to see how much he cares for people and enjoys seeing them enjoy their stay. There is no doubt that God is continuing to bless his dream. He actually serves tables and keeps the coffee in your cup hot. If you leave hungry, it's your fault. The chef's took time to share recipes, the waitresses all were exceptionally friendly and made it a point to spoil us. The place has a bottomless cookie jar and serves some of the most amazingly fresh breads we have eaten. We already are making plans to return and will tell others about this beautiful place.

    A Dream Come True!

    March 16, 2012

    My husband and I recently took our second trip to this amazing inn! We can not say enough good things about our visit. Whitestone Country Inn is perfectly placed in the beautiful hills of Tennessee. From every place on the property you are met with amazing views of the mountains, beautiful birds of all types, the Watts Barr Lake, and a landscape beautifully maintained by the staff. Whitestone has a huge variety of rooms on its property, each beautifully decorated, spacious, SO CLEAN, and feels like your own private sanctuary. The housekeeping does a magnificent job maintaining the rooms and meeting any need you may have. As far as the meals- OH MY! The breakfast is amazing each day. For lunch you can choose to dine in the beautiful dining area overlooking the property or request a picnic lunch to eat outdoors or in your room. In all honesty, you will probably be so full from the amazing breakfast you may not even need lunch! Then, there is dinner. The dinner selection is wonderful and the food is 5 star. You will receive a meal that could compete with any big city 5 star fancy restaurant, but enjoy it in a casual setting overlooking a masterpiece landscape. The servers are amazing and make you feel like the star of the day. Whitestone does a wonderful job accommodating dietary needs/allergies as well. My husband and I can not say enough about the wonderful experience at Whitestone Country Inn. We look forward to visiting again and have returned home with brochures for all our friends! You will not be disappointed choosing to spend your time and finances here.
