Edgeworth Inn

Monteagle, Tennessee.

Built in 1896, The Edgeworth Inn is a rambling antique-filled Queen Anne style structure with 12 guest rooms, elegantly appointed and each with its own bath. The oldest continuously operated Inn in the area, with modern conveniences.

Bed and Breakfast Description

The Edgeworth Inn B&B is an intrinsic part of American history, a haven from the everyday concerns of the modern world. The moment you enter the Monteagle Assembly, a historic Chautauqua, you find yourself in a world suspended in another time. Guests may embrace this as an opportunity to experience life as it was over a century ago and to savor the Victorian lifestyle, which is perpetuated in this pocket of America.

With a heartfelt passion for preservation and hope that this comes across in every detail of the inn, the cottage decor has been carefully designed so as to preserve the historical atmosphere. It is important to understand that a home such as this is idiosyncratic, that its character comes from over one hundred years of history. We want to make your stay as authentic as possible, but with all modern conveniences for the sake of comfort.

Today the Inn has air conditioning, central heating as well as fireplaces, and all the comforts of a modern day home. Wherever possible the original and historic aspects of the inn are preserved and married to the new comforts of this 21st Century.

Chef Jon comes to the Inn with 15 years of experience. Having worked in all aspects of food service from executive chef, sous chef, general manager, and service manager in and around the southeast his talents in the hospitality field are wide ranging. Chef Jon’s influences are Southern Italian and Southern American cuisine.
