Your host

Meet Roger Moroney

Roger Moroney is the innkeeper and he lives on site. He is a keen student of the inn's own history, the Thomas Brabson house of 1854, and he will happily talk your ear off about it, along with the area's attractions.

Sidecar culture: Roger rides a 1995 Harley-Davidson FLHR paired with a 1998 Liberty Classic sidecar. The racing names on the doors are no accident.

Family history: Kyle's Corner Bedroom is named in memory of Roger and Deb's son, who loved sports-cars, the mountains, and his friends.

Resident greeter: Kiera, a shepherd mix adopted from the Sevier Animal Care Center in February 2022, enthusiastically welcomes guests in the private quarters.

Local guide

Sevierville and the Smokies

Roger acts as your local guide at breakfast, but here is a head start on the area around the inn.

Free

Great Smoky Mountains National Park

America's most-visited national park, with no entrance fee. Enter at the Sugarlands Visitor Center, hike quiet trails or drive Newfound Gap Road for the classic ridge views.

About 40 minutes drive from the inn.

Free

Foothills Parkway overlooks

Golden-hour views with the crowds left behind. The parkway's pull-offs face the Smokies crest and are perfect for a slow evening drive.

About 30 minutes drive.

Dolly Parton's theme park, consistently ranked among America's best. Rides, shows and Southern cooking in the hills of Pigeon Forge.

About 25 minutes drive.

Paid

In Sevierville, about 15 minutes drive.

Free

Great Smoky Arts and Crafts Community

An 8-mile loop of working studios and galleries. Meet the makers and watch traditional crafts done by hand.

About 20 minutes drive toward Gatlinburg.

Food

Eat like a local

Ask Roger first, but locals love The Appalachian (a favorite of the inn's own) and the barbecue joints around town. Avoid the Parkway dinner-show row if you dislike tourist crowds.

10 to 20 minutes drive.

Traffic trap

The Parkway crawl

Weekends and show nights can turn the Pigeon Forge Parkway into a parking lot. Use back roads (Veterans Blvd, Teaster Ln) and allow double the time after 5 p.m.

Plan ahead, not around.

Safety

Bears and mountain roads

Black bears are active in the Smokies. Never approach or feed them, lock car doors in the park, and take mountain roads slowly at night. Weather can change fast at altitude.

Cades Cove is famous for bear sightings, about 1 hour drive.

Getting here

How to reach the inn

Fly into McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS), Knoxville, then rent a car. The inn is at 2778 Boyds Creek Hwy, Sevierville, about 10 miles from downtown Sevierville. Ride shares are sparse in rural Sevier County, so driving yourself is easiest.

About 45 minutes from TYS.
