Voted Number 1 Country Inn/B&B in the 2002 "Best of Tennessee" Readers' Poll
June 2002 issue of "Tennessee Magazine" (470,000 circulation)

Falcon Manor, the four guest suites on its grounds of The Falcon Rest Mansion are favorite getaways history lovers, as well as for honeymooners and couples celebrating birthdays or anniversaries. Of course, for lots of other folks, a simple retreat alone together is a special occasion all its own. Guest suites are located close enough to Falcon Rest's dining, shopping and tour facilities for convenience, but far enough away from those areas and from one another to allow an extra degree of privacy. The antiques and decor of the suites reflect those of the mansion itself, but -- following Clay Faulkner's example -- they're equipped with all the "modern conveniences" -- private baths, telephones with data ports, satellite TV, individual heat and air controls, hair dryers, and more. Full gourmet breakfasts are included in the room rate, and sumptuous dinners are available on Friday and Saturday nights by reservation.

• Honeymoon Suite: Falcon Manor's Honeymoon Suite is located across the breezeway from the mansion in the original kitchen. It boasts a king-size brass and marble bed, a mirror-topped mantle, an unusual antique sofa and a peek-a-boo carved wooden screen. The original wainscoting covers the bottom half of the walls, and the upper portion is deep blueberry. The pantry that adjoined the old kitchen has been converted into a private bath, complete with an adorable claw-foot tub. $105.
• Carriage House Room: Adjacent to the Victorian Carriage House at the rear of the mansion, this mauve colored room is accented with a breathtaking, 9-1/2 foot tall Victorian Renaissance-style queen-size bedroom suite. Its seclusion and grandeur make it a second "Honeymoon Suite." The adjoining private bath features an antique claw-foot-tub/shower combination. $105.

• The General Manager's Cottage: Guests love the privacy in this spacious 2,700-square-foot "cottage next door to the mansion. It has a patio with picnic table, an enclosed deck, a kitchenette and a 600-sq.-ft. great room with a gas fireplace and antique furnishings that rival those in the mansion. Two suites are on opposite sides of the great room, which serves as a common area.

• Manager's Suite: A private hall in this suite opens to an inviting bedroom featuring a beamed ceiling, canopied king-size bed, a beautiful view of the mansion next door and a large private bath with a double vanity sink and shower/tub combination. $105.
• Cottage Suite: Two lovely guest rooms are on opposite ends of a private hall; a full bath with shower/tub combination is between them. Decorated in jewel tones of green and blue respectively, both bedrooms feature beautifully carved, high-back antique double beds.
  • One guest room and bath (other room will not be rented): $95.
  • Both guest rooms and bath: $150 (great for families and couples traveling together, or for two individuals who prefer separate beds)
