I had a wonderful stay at your inn last night...
We enjoyed a glass of wine before heading over for massages at Mike's (who was wonderful, and I highly recommend him). We had a 90 minute special for two--worth double the price. After that we enjoyed the whirlpool before indulging in a feast at Suba's.
This morning was another gourmet meal served in style. We loved the Rose Romance suite!!!
We definitely will be back. Thank you for all your help and suggestions. Our anniversary will be one of great memories.” ~Martie

Mountain City is a small mid-century Tennessee town surrounded by mountain ranges, thousands of acres of Cherokee National Forest and scenic overlooks connected by barely traveled rural lanes. The inn is a short drive from pristine Watauga Lake, a wide variety of hiking trails, bicycling trails, horseback riding and auto touring. In winter go skiing, snow boarding or tubing.

You'll enjoy the best of an historic house but none of the old-house inconveniences! Our decorating is eclectic—not fussy. You'll find clean lines and refined themes.

Weather
We have great weather! We have brisk days and crisp nights. Sometimes we'll have snow. Hikes, biking, horseback riding and sightseeing are all more fun when the air refreshes you.
The fall leaves in the region are some of the best in the Southeast. We anticipate a little snow this winter, making for beautiful drives, great tubing and skiing and lots of snuggling time.
The Cottage in the Woods is at a higher elevation and has more snows than the inn.
 Check current conditions
Spring comes here gently, slowly and with subtle changes in the
roadside flowers and blooming trees. Summer means great weather IF you like it UNDER 90 degrees. We do not break the 90-degree barrier EVER..... our altitude and tree cover help. The inn is at 2500+ ft. elevation above sea level. The cottage is at 2950 ft. Feel the difference elevation makes.
