Hotel at a Glance: Pinhook Plantation House

Built in 1810, Pinhook Plantation House is the oldest home in southeastern Tennessee’s Polk County. It started out as a private residence before being transformed into an inn for farmers selling crops and livestock along the Hiwassee River. During the Civil War, the building served as a lookout point—the view extends across the river to the Cherokee National Forest. Today, the clapboard fixture functions as a country-style bed and breakfast. It was renovated in 2001, but many of the home’s original features remain intact, including heart-pine floors and fireplaces constructed out of handmade bricks.

  • In-suite offerings: Hand-sewn quilts, antiques, and views of the mountains and river
  • Signature breakfast dish: French toast stuffed with cream cheese and pineapple filling
  • Soak it in: Enjoy a cup of tea in a rocking chair on the front porch, or take a nap in a hammock under the magnolia trees.
  • Keep an eye out for: Black bears, boars, and red-breasted nuthatch birds in the southern section of Cherokee National Forest
  • Go for the gold: The Ocoee Whitewater Center hosted the canoe, kayak, and slalom events during the 1996 Summer Olympics. Today visitors can go whitewater rafting or hike scenic trails along the river.
  • Shop ‘til you drop: The area is home to several antique shops, art galleries, and wineries.
  • Neat perk: The gift bag included with this Getaway comes stuffed with locally made wares including soap, jewelry, and jelly.

About Pinhook Plantation House

Since its construction in 1810, Pinhook Plantation House has served many functions. It’s been a family home, an inn for farmers selling their livestock and crops, and a lookout point for Civil War soldiers along the Hiwassee River. Today, it serves as a bed and breakfast set in the rolling hills of southeastern Tennessee.

Despite a 2001 renovation, many of the home’s original features remain intact, including its heart-pine floors, fireplaces constructed of handmade bricks, and new-home smell. Three suites are decorated with hand-sewn quilts, antiques, and lace curtains that open to reveal stunning views of the foothills and Hiwassee River and close to reveal darkness. During their stay, guests can kayak or fly-fish on the river, hike through the Cherokee National Forest, or head into Chattanooga, which is just an hour away.
