Local Accommodations for Non Campers

Mary from Franklin, Tennessee asks this morning: We are planning a trip to Savage Gulf in April and would like to spend a couple of days. We are not campers but looking for lodging. Any suggestions of places nearby.

The accommodations around Savage Gulf and Stone Door are very limited to none.

There are good restaurants and lodging in Monteagle. Visit http://www.monteagle-mtn.com/business.htm for a list of restaurants, motels and other lodging. Also visit http://www.monteagleinn.com/ and the Monteagle Chamber website http://www.monteaglechamber.com/busdir.htm business directory.

The other alternative is Manchester which has more motel rooms than any small town in America (my opinion) and good restaurants. And they have a Starbucks! Visit the Manchester Chamber http://www.macoc.org/.

Cheers

    The old Beersheba Hotel has accommodations but the kitchen doesn't open for fewer than a group of 20.
