About Shepard Inn

The Shepard Inn consistently earns praise as a beautifully restored historic property in Dandridge's downtown, with guests particularly impressed by owner Mindy's hospitality and attention to detail. The historic ambiance transports visitors to another era with period furnishings and antiques throughout. While most visitors rave about the experience, a couple of guests felt the service could be more attentive, and one noted that some food items tasted store-bought rather than homemade.
