Bed and Breakfast in Tennessee
Whether you live in East Tennessee and are looking for a weekend getaway, or you are planning a visit to the area, there are a number of locally owned inns that offer attractive alternatives to the standard hotel. Three inns located in and around Knoxville are mentioned here, although there are many more which can be found at Bed and Breakfast Inns Online.
The Maplehurst Inn Bed and Breakfast is located on a hill overlooking the Tennessee River in the Historic District of Downtown Knoxville, the 90-year-old inn is right in the heart of the city. Built in 1917 as an area merchant’s home, the structure was expanded and converted to a bed and breakfast in 1982. Featuring eleven rooms from the cozy Rose Room to the Penthouse Suite, the antique furnishings and old-fashioned décor makes for an experience that is, according to guest reports, “just like staying at grandma’s house.” Maplehurst’s owners, Sonny and Becky, offer the best of Southern hospitality to their guests: local attractions are pointed out – the best places to visit, eat, and shop; breakfast is provided in the dining room; and snacks are available round the clock.
Across town, in West Knoxville, is the beautiful Maple Grove Inn. Built in 1799, the original Georgian style home was converted to an inn in 1992. The Maple Grove offers seven luxury rooms, such as The Maple Suite with its four-poster rice bed and all-marble bathroom, and The Oak Suite with sleigh bed, sitting room, and unique bathroom featuring a stand-alone tub. Other rooms aren’t as lavish in décor, but offer the type of furnishings that are commonly enjoyed in bed and breakfast inns. The beautiful facility has the capacity to handle large crowds making it a popular choice for weddings, meetings, and other events. A gourmet restaurant draws guests staying at the inn as well as others from the community, contributing to the inn’s lively and elegant atmosphere.
Finally, The Hearthstone Bed and Breakfast, located in Jefferson City, offers a unique twist on the B&B. The inn is actually fashioned resort-style as a collection of three cabin-like cottages. Each cottage houses one to two guest rooms and breakfast is offered each morning in the main cottage. The resort is situated on Cherokee Lake, the source of many guest activities such as fishing, hiking, boating, and swimming.
