This inn is unique in all the High Country (Boone/Blowing Rock), Virginia Highlands (Abingdon/Damascus) and Northeast Tennessee (Tri-Cities).

Our historic home is unique (c.1889); our party room (c.2005) was built just for magical mountain weddings. Onsite wedding planning is included in our package so you can enjoy the day--in the becautiful garden with mountain views and fantastic, large guest rooms.

You may find the ultimate mountain view elsewhere (and you will pay for it! )We are only 25 min. from Boone and 40 min. from Abingdon and Johnson City. Our mountain scenery is beautiful and in keeping with our delightful flower-filled garden. .... We think that when you know a place is exactly right for you the balance of the wedding plans will quickly fall into place. Judy the innkeeper is at your service during this pre-wedding time.

The c.1889 mansion elegantly dominates its hill above Mountain City, TN--just 25 minutes north of Boone, NC. The Pavilion wedding room overlooks a garden with mountain and garden views. Its vaulted ceiling creates an unequaled space with old-world charm, native walnut window trim and mellow tile floors. Combining quality and tradition, this airy room was designed to enhance weddings and receptions. There is nothing like it in feel, or price--in the entire High County, Northeast Tennessee or Southwest Virginia.

Innkeeper Judy Hotchkiss is your wedding planner (included). From your bouquet to the menu, she will help you select from a world of choices then see that it is executed flawlessly. Simplicity, she says, is sometimes the best design statement.

Facility:  Built for events like yours, the Pavilion has a dedicated catering kitchen, two public restrooms, The Gallery which functions as a foyer, and paved patio. The patio and garden are surrounded by a perennial garden with mountains in the distance and edged by historic buildings original to the site.

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 most events ending after 5 pm. [Not required for very small weddings such as elopements with a handful of guests.]
