McKinley Edwards Inn

Stayed here in May & it was fabulous! Updated rooms & bathrooms in a charming Mountain Inn. Convenient to every activity & right in the heart of town. The owner is knowledgable & puts an extra effort on customer service! Highly recommend!

Our family of four stayed here in the peony room. It was very spacious and clean. We stayed in four hotels in one week and this one had the most comfortable beds and pillows of all. Jim, the innkeeper, was very welcoming and hospitable. My kids loved the koi pond and exploring the grounds. We were sad we were only there one night. Breakfast at the associated diner was great and service there was wonderful as well. We will definitely be back!

Under new and very friendly management, this hidden gem is perched atop a hill by an old cemetery and offers an amazing view of the Smokies. The courtyard is beautifully landscaped and includes a koi pond and examples of local trees and wildflowers.
The main house is currently under renovation, but the former breakfast nook is open for guests who want to enjoy the view while staying out of the weather. The décor here is rustic and charming, with genuinely historic and picturesque elements.
The rooms themselves are clean and comfortable, with beautiful historic décor paired with modern comforts. Mattresses and bedding are brand new and luxurious — you won’t have any trouble getting to sleep here.
I highly recommend taking advantage of the current discounts they are offering due to renovation. They won’t be doing breakfast for awhile, but you will not be sorry for making some great memories if you take advantage of the coffee in your room and enjoy a fantastic sunrise view on the deck.
The new owner is very friendly and eager to please. He really goes out of his way to make guests happy, and is always glad to chat or give you the lowdown on local attractions and discounts you can get there. The atmosphere is relaxed and charming and the grounds are beautiful to walk in. Highly recommended; five star rating.

The inn is wonderfully cozy, and very clean. This was our first time staying and we were very pleased and comfortable. Upon arriving we were greeted by the innkeeper (loss for his name) who was so kind and helpful. We were in a bit of a rush to catch our tain departure time and he was completely understanding. He gave us all the info we needed in a quick amount of time. Our only regret is that we didn’t make more time to be able to visit more with him.
The room was very cozy and clean. It seemed that it had recently had a bit of a face lift. All of the furniture and bedding was very nice and neat.
The outside area seems pretty cool if you were to stay with a large party in multiple rooms, or have an event here. Though we didn’t, it is very inviting.
We really enjoyed our short stay and look forward to another one day!
