Mark your calendars for the 35th annual Gatlinburg Craftsmen’s Fair, July 16 thru 24, 2010, and book a room at our Gatlinburg bed and breakfast.
The Craftsmen’s Fair is one of the most popular events in the Southeast. Craftsmen and Artisans from all over the United States gather in Gatlinburg Tennessee to demonstrate their skills and display their work; a jury ensures the products are of the highest quality.

More than 180 craftspeople are expected to attend, the majority of whom return to the Craftsmen’s Fair year after year. Look for David and Tammie Ogle of Gatlinburg, whose handmade brooms with carved handles have been made by the Ogle family for more than 70 years. Marvel at sleek, sophisticated jewelry created by Sandy Hensley. Admire the original leather designs of PJ Girouard.
In additon to an impressive array of arts and crafts, there will be live music every day. Listen to a fine mix of country, blue grass, and gospel by Dennis Lee and Band, and Keith Longbotham and Band.
At the end of each day, look forward to retreating to our Smoky Mountains bed and breakfast. Once you return to the inn, you need not leave. Swim, play tennis, or hike on our trails. Enjoy a drink and a casual dinner in our English pub, or reserve a table at our more formal dining room. It’s the ideal Tennessee vacation.
