THE PEACEFUL SIDE OF THE SMOKIES Escape to the mountains and relax body and soul at a charming country inn with luxury amenities. Elegantly furnished with 18th century English antiques and French paintings, guest rooms honor eminent Appalachian people, and decor captures their individual mountain culture and history. Offers breathtaking views of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park with private balconies, spa tubs, steam showers, woodburning fireplaces, and a nature trail to name a few appointments. The inn is private and secluded by forest - a convenient ten minutes to the park entrance. Named among the nation's Top 20 B&Bs by the Mobil Travel Guide. Rated “Top Inn” by Country Inns Magazine and awarded grand prize by Gourmet Magazine for their signature dessert.

"Congratulations! You've been selected by our editors and readers as one of the 25 recipients of the second annual America's Favorite Inns Award...

We think Richmont Inn is one of the nation's most charming and unique country inns... making it "A Special Place for Couples". "Gourmet magazine awarded us the Grand Prize for one of our candlelight desserts."

...to recognize those inns, B&Bs, and small hotels recommended for exceptional hospitality, comfort, food and accommodations." Sandra W. Soule, Editor, America's Favorite Inns, B&Bs & Small Hotels, January 1998

At first glance, the atmosphere in the main living room is rustic (mortar-chinked barnwood walls, 13-foot high open-beamed ceilings, broad planked wood and slate floors), but the formal white mantled fireplace, antique furniture, original sculpture and art quickly dispel any sense of "roughing it".

A full breakfast and evening candlelight dessert are served in the panoramic dining area where you can watch the morning mist rising from the valley floor and the moon-filled mountain nights. Freshly brewed morning coffee and afternoon tea can be enjoyed in the privacy of your balcony or room. Gourmet packed picnics that match the season are available for a back-packing hike or a luxurious spread by a mountain stream.
