The Inn At The Green Tree

Built in 1782 at the foot of the Indian Ridge by frontiersman and tavern-keeper John Chisholm, The Inn at the Green Tree has served as a gathering place for centuries, offering hospitality to travelers in times both modern and old. Its bold limestone spring first drew pre-Colombian people and, much later, Cherokee Indian hunting parties and stagecoach travelers who stopped to water their horses and camp for the night.

Known as the Bowling Green to local citizenry, this historic home has evolved from log cabin and federal-style plantation home-from stage coach inn and late-20th century bed and breakfast-to a welcome escape from the world at-large. For now, after complete restoration, The Inn At the Green Tree is ready once again to welcome visitors.

All accommodations offer climate control, private baths, ample seating, desks for writing or laptops, cable TV, Internet, and large closets for stowing gear. Special arrangements can be made for mountain biking tours, hiking in the Appalachians, water rafting, and other scenic excursions.

We are approximately one hour from many regional destinations including Asheville North Carolina, the Biltmore Hotel, wineries, the Blue Ridge Parkway and Mountains, the Cherokee National Forest, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, the Museum of the Appalachians, Knoxville, northwest Virginia, and more.

The John Chisholm suite is the largest in the Inn. Hand-hewn chestnut beams, poplar plank walls over oak logs, custom-milled woodwork, plus authentic paints and hardware take you back to the late 18th century. Furnishings include a Bernhardt empire style king size bed with custom mattress. A large sitting room features two comfortable armchairs and a desk. $125 per day, double occupancy.

The Rebecca Chester room features Greene County furnishings from the early 1800's including an armoire and spool bed with double mattress. There is a walnut writing desk, empire period chair, and private, enclosed balcony with seating for a cup of coffee or a private conversation. The walls and beams are original to the early 1800's and the floor is tulip poplar. $85 per day, double occupancy.

The Daniel Burgess Barkley suite offers a separate living area and bedroom with queen-size four-poster bed. The log walls and walnut floors are original to the house, dating back to the late 1700's. The furnishings include a settee, writing desk, and plenty of room to unwind. $115 per day, double occupancy.
