I'm not sure where to start.

Read moreThis is THE INN in the southeast USA, absolutely gorgeous. The owners are the sweetest. Vern was serving us personally they are the sweetest people on the earth! Lisa is the perfect Cook! So rare these days to find an Inn run by a family that actually loves it and puts so much passion into it! Vern is an Artist as well and paints beautiful pictures you can look at them and purchase as well if you find something you like. Can only refer it to everyone who loves family run Inn’s and loves personal attention, it’s quiet and super clean, very Nice place with 2 Swings on the third floor where you can relax and look at Mount Leconte. I’m from Germany and miss these kind of Inn’s here in the US....
