The Butler-Cape House is pre-1850 and has been painstakingly restored downstairs. Upstairs, we lovingly renovated so 21st century people would not feel cramped. The house is rich in Cherokee, Civil War and Moonshine Wars history. Its chimneys were crafted by the Cherokees before the Removal, leading many to believe that the first part of our home was indeed built and lived in by the Cherokees. All rates include a hearty, delicious breakfast. Menu changes daily and we accommodate special diets.
