Whitestone's 360 secluded acres on the shores of Watts Bar Lake provide a peaceful country pace. Wildlife and waterfowl sanctuaries surround meadows and woods. Porches and decks with spectacular lake and mountain views add grandeur to Whitestone's rolling pastures and woods. Our location, forty minutes west of Knoxville, is central to all East Tennessee attractions, yet removed from the noise, crowds, traffic and congestion.

Fishing on our huge lake, walking Whitestone's eight miles of trails, strolling through the park, pitching horseshoes with friends, playing a vicious game of croquet, or relaxing in a porch swing--activity and inactivity abound.

Watts Bar Lake and Paint Rock Wildlife and Waterfowl Refuge offer great fishing opportunities (our new marina provides wonderful boating opportunities on site). The site of the '96 Olympic white water events is one hour away. Canoeing, rafting, and kayaking can be easily arranged. The beautiful Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga is a 75 minute drive. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is just over one hour to the east. Knoxville is a short 40 minute drive. Whitestone is an excellent base for extended sight-seeing in East Tennessee.

"Driving through the big barn at
Whitestone is like entering another era."

You will find 21 rooms to select from, each one spacious and tastefully decorated, with a charm of its own. Every room has a private bath with a whirlpool tub, a cozy fireplace, big beds, comfortable chairs, writing desks...enough quiet for an afternoon nap. Rate range is $150 to $270.

With a casual style Whitestone specializes in bountiful regional country cooking-locally grown vegetables and fruit in season, old fashioned desserts, farm raised beef, hot biscuits and gravy. Your dining experience will be memorable. Linger over breakfast as you enjoy incredible views of meadows, lakes, and mountains. Dinner is served for $25.95 per person with unpretentious elegance with candlelight and soft music and fresh flowers.

Whitestone has excellent facilities to host small meetings, personal retreats, or family reunions. A large board room with the latest audio visual equipment can comfortably accommodate forty for seminars and planning sessions. In order to accommodate the growing demand for weddings, Whitestone has launched an exciting expansion to their current facilities. The expansion includes a 200-seat chapel and a 7,000 square foot Victorian Parsonage. There is also an additional meeting room that can accommodate up to 50 people.

The builders-innkeepers, Paul and Jean Cowell, left a busy corporate pace in Knoxville in 1994 and began development of this country estate. Paul was Chairman of the Board and CEO of Shop At Home, a TV home shopping network. He also founded and served as President and CEO of Book Warehouse, a ninety store discount book chain. Paul and Jean have been involved in Christian ministry for many years. They often travel to third world countries where Paul speaks at Christian businessmen seminars. Plans for Whitestone began in 1963. The Cowell's years of travel, planning and dreaming has resulted in an exceptional resort facility.
