As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
The rolling hills of Tennessee happen to be one of the state’s best features, hiding small restaurants and bed and breakfast’s in its midst. It’s truly a green and lush wonderland, the kind of place where you could raise a family or perhaps stay for awhile? The Ocoee Mist Bed & Breakfast is one of the many spots hidden in the hills and it happens to be one of our favorite places to visit during the warmer months. Especially if you’re an animal lover, of course!
Everyone knows about the famed Ocoee River, but have you heard of Ocoee Mist? A bed and breakfast located in the heart of Benton, Tennessee, this low-key local oasis sits at the foot of the Cherokee National Forest.
Chilhowee Mountains overlooks the stunning b&b, making for a magnificent view and startling juxtaposition between the cut of the mountain and the span of the rolling hills.
Probably the most interesting aspect about Ocoee Mist are the year-round guests, which include over one hundred animals. Yes, you read that right - one hundred!
Book a guest house and enjoy a home-cooked breakfast in the main building any day of the week, then head on over to the farm and visit the peacocks, llamas and camels. In the evening, if you listen closely, you can hear the crickets and tree frogs singing to the summer night.
If you're looking for fancy, you can head to the Ritz somewhere in the city - but if you're looking for a sweet, memorable experience? Then we'd recommend booking a humble room at the Ocoee Mist. Benton, Tennessee would love to have you - and so would the camels!
