The Tellico Plains Inn, Historic Boutique Hotel, The Babcock Room

The Tellico Plains Inn, originally established in 1916, is in the heart of Tellico Plains and the start of the Cherohala Skyway. The Inn was rehabbed in 2023 with modern flare but staying true to the character of a 100+ year old Inn. It is within walking distance to the local shops and minutes away from the Cherokee National Forest (Bald River Falls, Indian Boundary, trout fishing, hiking, kayaking).

The Babcock Room has a king bed and a futon for sleeping needs of up to four guests. There is also an en suite bathroom with a walk-in tile shower. The room also has its own ductless heating and cooling unit, 55" smart TV, console/desk with two chairs, k-cup coffee machine and a mini fridge. It is the largest room in the entire Inn, and the only room on the first floor.

If you need additional rooms for your entire party, friends, and family please be sure to ask about availability. AND, the Inn also has a 650 Sq Ft Event Room lit with 3 stylish chandeliers that can be rented out separately, great for weddings, bridal or baby showers, birthday parties, or any enthusiast group gathering!

We hope you will enjoy the modern flare and updates to this 100+ year old Inn. We tried to salvage its character, keeping the original rustic wood floors, wainscoting, and dental trim. Be sure to take some time to relax on the porch in the rocking chairs or in the lobby and view some historic photos of the Inn and Tellico Plains.

Guests have access to the shared lobby, coffee station, microwave, small ice machine (for drink cups), wrap around porch, rocking chairs, and the entire grounds of the Inn. We offer guests a shared office space on the second floor on a first come first serve basis. The office space has two dedicated workspaces which include desks, chairs, printer/scanner/copier, etc. If you know you will want to use the office space during your stay, it is best to inform the host in advance of your stay.

Centrally located in town and ample parking on our concrete lot and at side of Inn. Guests can literally walk the sidewalks to Tellico Grains Bakery, Trout Mountain Coffee, and several local shops. The Tellico Plains Inn is the center piece of the town.

Guests are provided with 6 bath towels, 6 hand towels, 6 wash cloths, 2 full rolls of toilet paper, hand soap, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, starter set of K-cups, cream and sugar packets, and disposable coffee cups.
