How lovely you look by the light of the moon.

Any time of year can be romantic, especially when you’re in love. It’s romantic to go wine tasting in the fall, cuddle together in front of the fire in the winter, and dine outside during the first warm evening of spring. In fact, if you are craving romance, all you need to do is come to our Smoky Mountains bed and breakfast, near Gatlinburg Tennessee – we specialize in creating a romantic mood for couples.

With that in mind, we’d like to invite couples to come to our Tennessee bed and breakfast the week of August 23, 2010, for the moon will be full. Watch the moon rise together from the porch of the inn, or during an evening stroll on our grounds. Better yet, enjoy a romantic full moon hike in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The Parks Service will lead a moonlit walk in Cades Cove, from 7 – 9pm on Tuesday, August 24, 2010. It is sure to be a lovely experience, with the moonlight illuminating trees and grass.

The moon will be magical no matter where it shines down on you. So stay up late and listen to the quiet sounds of the night while you gaze at one another by the light of the moon. In the morning, sleep in. Enjoy your coffee and breakfast in your room, then make your way down to the pool for a refreshing dip.

Those interested in the moonlit walk in Cades Cove should visit the Great Smoky Mountains National Park website.

This wedding cake could be yours...

Valentine’s Day is not far off; if you or your sweetie is a romantic at heart, this may well be the perfect time for a marriage proposal. Will it take place as you cuddle together in your room, watching the mist rise off the Smoky Mountains? Will it happen as you share a gourmet four-course meal in our formal dining room? Or will you ask during a peaceful walk together on our 200 private acres?

Our Smoky Mountain resort is ideal for weddings, too. Why not come full circle, and plan your wedding for the very place she said yes? Then remember the event each year with an anniversary trip to the inn. So much transition and change happens over the course of a life together – why not start a wonderful tradition now?

Be sure to check into our romance specials; they may give you just the incentive you need!

In short, you want to be able to look forward to something. It doesn’t have to be this week, or even this month, but you want to know that at some point in the not-too distant future, it will happen.

Why not plan a romantic winter getaway at our Smoky Mountains resort? We are just outside of Gatlinburg, but we seem a world away. Rolling hills and mountains surround the inn, and our 200 acres ensure a peaceful setting.

Leave work early one Friday and drive up to our Gatlinburg area inn. We’ll wine and dine you by candelight, let you sleep in the next morning, and bring breakfast to your room if you wish. You may spend the day relaxing at the inn, strolling miles of trails on-site, or heading out to the Smoky Mountains. Schedule a massage for one or both of you. Enjoy a casual meal at the pub, followed by a game of billiards.

What you do isn’t important, so long as you are together.

Our Winter Getaway Special for two nights runs through March 31, 2010. Put it on the calendar now, so you’ll have something to anticipate.

Need any more be said? Grab your sweetie, throw some clothes in a bag, and head to our Smoky Mountains Resort in East Tennessee. We will pamper you, and give you the space to enjoy each other. Take advantage of miles of trails on our 200-acre private grounds, our heated outdoor pool, and the tennis courts. Dine in our elegant mountain view dining room, or more casually in our intimate pub. Lounge in bed and have breakfast brought to your door. Come to our Smoky Mountains Lodging in the next month and look at views like this, resplendent with fall color.

This could be you.

September in the Smoky Mountains is idyllic. Summer crowds have headed back to school and work, and the heat has somewhat abated. The early morning mists that rise and cling to the mountaintops are beautiful at this time of year, and remind us of how the Smokies got their name. October follows with blazing fall foliage that turns the mountains into the color of sunset. The views from our Gatlinburg TN lodging are spectacular.

Come stay with us this fall for a romantic weekend retreat. We created our east Tennessee bed and breakfast with romance in mind, paying particular detail to the moods created by our public spaces. The intimacy of our formal dining room encourages closeness, and the fine dining culinary creations are delicious and deeply satisfying. We offer a romantic getaway package that includes three nights lodging, breakfast at your leisure, and one gourmet candlelit four-course dinner for two. We also offer honeymoon and anniversary packages that include four nights lodging and romantic four-course dinners on two nights. There are excellent restaurants close by in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, and of course, our pub is a less formal but equally intimate place to dine. It is no wonder that more than one proposal has occurred here.

Autumn is a lovely time for romance and weddings in eastern Tennessee. The two hundred acres that surround our Smoky Mountain Inn include wide, open lawns perfect for outdoor wedding ceremonies and receptions. The lawns are surrounded by rolling wooded land, with many shades of green in the spring and summer, and vivid reds, oranges, and yellows in autumn. Indoor weddings and receptions take place in large rooms with many windows to the view, along with covered decks and balconies. Perhaps a proposal this fall will be followed by a wedding next fall?

Romance awaits at our Smoky Mountain Lodging

Recently we were thrilled to learn that our Smoky Mountain resort is one of 14 inns to receive the “Travelers Choice for Romance” award from American Historic Inns and iLoveInns.com. We have you, our guests, to thank for this award. This award was not based on the opinions of our staff or the travel writers of Historic Inns and iLoveInns.com; rather, Historic Inns and iLoveInns.com tallied the reviews of our guests. This is an extremely affirming award, since we set out to create a Tennessee romantic resort in what we consider to be one of the most romantic spots in the country, the Smoky Mountains.

If you haven’t yet visited us, we hope you will plan a Tennessee Romantic Weekend here. Why not make it a surprise for your sweetheart? Once you arrive at our 200 private acres, nestled in the Smoky Mountains, you won’t want – or need – to leave. For meals you have a choice of formal, fine dining in our Mountain View Dining Room (think candle light and piano music), or more casual dining in Marston’s Library Pub. In either venue, the food is outstanding.

Perhaps you will consider hosting your Smoky Mountain Wedding here. At the very least, this is a wonderful place to pop the question.
