This stagecoach inn and plantation home was built around 1815 by James R. Wyly. He strategically located it along the newly constructed Unicoi Turnpike, a busy highway over the Appalachian Mountains. Wyly operated the inn until 1833, when he sold it to his neighbor Devereaux Jarrett, the "richest man in the Tugaloo Valley."

Your stay is within 5 minutes to Traveler's Rest Historic Site - a beautiful historic home that is sometimes open for interior tours. The grounds alone are also beautiful to explore.

If you enjoy history, this is a step back in time. Originally built in 1750's, this inn tells the story of a stage coach inn well before the civil war, and the family that owned it until 1950s. Built along the one of the main stagecoach thoroughfares of the day. Step back in time historically, off the beaten path.
