What our guests say: Review from www.Bedandbreakfast.com (wedding):My sister had her wedding at Prospect Hill, and my husband and I stayed there for the weekend. Not only was the weekend a beautiful and relaxing stay, the Innkeepers went out of their way to help with the wedding. The rooms were wonderful, especially the little pocket porch upstairs, the garden is gorgeous, the food was INCREDIBLE. I would recommend this to anyone who wanted a romantic weekend getaway or a small wedding. I plan on going back soon!

Prospect Hill is a wonderful place to get married, whether in an intimate ceremony for two or before dozens of your friends and family.
The c.1889 mansion elegantly dominates its hill above the town of Mountain City. The Mountain Pavilion wedding room over looks a garden with mountain ridges in the distance. Its vaulted ceiling creates an unequaled space visually and acoustically.
It has an airy feel, with a classic, intimate appeal including many windows overlooking the garden and mountains. The old-world charm of native walnut trim and mellow tile floors completes the vision.
Built just for events like yours, it has a dedicated catering kitchen, public restrooms (2) and “The Gallery” which functions as a foyer, reception and staging area. The garden is surrounded by a perennial garden and backed by tall trees.
For larger events the property includes a large, paved tent site with a mountain ridge view.
The inn’s five guest rooms — in the historic portion of the inn — are large and fully equipped with sought-after modern amenities (whirlpool tubs, fireplaces, king or queen beds, robes, snacks, TVs and in-room WIFI). Rental of all five guest rooms for the weekend is required for larger, late Saturday afternoon/evening weddings.
The location is a short 23 miles from Boone, NC, and less than 40 minutes from Abingdon, VA. Johnson City, TN is about 48 minutes away. The rental facility is perfect for rehearsal dinners, showers, bridesmaid’s luncheons as well as wedding ceremonies and anniversary and renewal parties. The architecture stands alone or it can be decorated to meet your needs. Catering by outside vendors. Let us help make your special day wonderful. Relax and experience the day fully –and make memories!
