Christopher Place - Part I
The Christopher Place was a large private house which went through several ownerships until converted into a mountain Bed & Breakfast Inn that also has a wonderful night chef offering a prix fixe dinner (four courses w/ no choices, although food allergies can be handled). The location offers views of the Smoky Mountains - located near Newport, TN - driving times to local sites and cities given in the previous post. NOW, if you are planning a visit to the area and want to stay nearer the usual tourist towns and the Smoky Mountains National Park, then there are innumerable options in the town or up higher on the mountains.
Images below show the entrance to the inn (tennis courts & small outside pool available) and also the back veranda facing the mountains - first three pics are mine and the others from the web (spiral staircase, pub/library, & wedding view) - near the hydrangea bushes is the entrance to a mountain trail. The Inn is small, just 9 rooms each w/ its own name - we rented a suite on the second floor w/ the main bedroom facing the mountains - a main floor and second level veranda offer rocking chairs. Dave
