Prospect Hill Bed & Breakfast Inn

The c.1889 mansion elegantly dominates its hill above the town of Mountain City. The Mountain Pavilion wedding room over looks a garden with mountain ridges in the distance. Its vaulted ceiling creates an unequaled space visually and acoustically. It has an airy feel, with a classic, intimate appeal including many windows overlooking the garden and mountains. The old-world charm of native walnut trim and mellow tile floors completes the vision.

Built just for events like yours, it has a dedicated catering kitchen, public restrooms (2) and The Gallery which functions as a foyer, reception and staging area and paved patio. The garden is surrounded by a perennial garden and backed by tall trees. For larger events the property includes a large, paved tent site with a mountain ridge view.

The inn’s five guest rooms — in the historic portion of the inn — are large and fully equipped with sought-after modern amenities (whirlpool tubs, fireplaces, king or queen beds, robes, snacks, TVs and in-room WIFI). Rental of all five guest rooms for the weekend is required for most events ending after 5 pm. [Not required for very small weddings such as elopements with a handful of guests.] The location is a short 23 miles from Boone, NC, and less than 40 minutes from Abingdon, VA. Johnson City, TN is about 48 minutes away.

The main Pavilion Room is perfect for rehearsal dinners, showers, bridesmaid’s luncheons as well as wedding ceremonies and anniversary and renewal parties. The architecture stands alone or it can be decorated to meet your needs. Catering by outside vendors is permitted. The inn has white china, ivory linens, many tables and chairs and some vases to be included in your rental. Just as all weddings are "custom" so is pricing. Let us help make your special day wonderful. Relax and experience the day fully–and make memories!
