Second time staying here. It's now our go-to for our getaways. Can't say enough about the home feeling, service, amazing breakfast, and friendly people. The atmosphere is peaceful and beautiful. Words can't do it justice!

Wonderful, peaceful accommodation. Very comfortable bed We've thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay here. Lovely, thoughtful staff, delicious breakfasts, beautiful grounds to wander through, wonderful views especially from the delightful porch with comfortable seating. Lovely homemade deserts from 6pm and various beverages available throughout the day. Easy drive to the Great Smoky Mountains and to Gatlingburg, Pigeon Forge and attractions. So glad we chose Blue Mountain Mist Country Inn. Thank you all and God bless you.
