About Appalachian Inn

<p>The Appalachian Inn sits on a scenic ridge in Robbinsville, offering views of the Stecoah Valley. Elizabeth has owned and operated this bed & breakfast for over two decades, maintaining four guest rooms in excellent condition, each with hardwood floors, quality linens, and private bathrooms.</p>

<p>What makes this B&B stand out is Elizabeth's hospitality and attention to detail. Each morning, a full gourmet breakfast is served in the main dining room, featuring seasonal ingredients and house-made pastries. Guests can request private dinners with advance notice, which is uncommon among local accommodations.</p>

<p>The wraparound porch is a favorite spot for guests to enjoy coffee in the morning or unwind with a glass of wine while watching the sunset over the mountains. The inn's elevation keeps it cooler in summer and provides great views for fall foliage.</p>

<p>Common areas include a welcoming great room with a stone fireplace, a library stocked with local guidebooks, and peaceful garden paths ideal for morning strolls. The inn is within 20 minutes of the Dragon's Tail motorcycle route and Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest.</p>

<p>Elizabeth can help arrange local activities from hiking excursions to antiquing trips, drawing on her extensive knowledge of the area. The inn maintains a peaceful, adults-oriented atmosphere, but children over 12 are welcome. Rooms typically range from $165-225 per night, with seasonal variations. Advance reservations are strongly recommended, especially during peak fall and summer seasons.</p>
