The Swag Country Inn in Waynesville

 

The Swag Country Inn in Waynesville:

Andrew Harper describes the inn as: "A peaceful, relaxing high-country sanctuary secluded on a breathtaking 5,000 foot ridge overlooking the Smoky Mountains." Nestled atop a 5,000 foot mountain, The Swag Country Inn boasts a mile frontage on the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Over the years, many of our guests have created touching writings, music, and art while staying at The Swag. We often offer writing and craft making workshops as part of our complementary series of special events. Past craft and art workshop leaders include: artist George Shackleford, rustic furniture craftsman Daniel Mack, and quilter Laurel Horton. The Swag also hosts workshops, readings, and informal after dinner talks given by: novelist Madeline L'Engle, Jack Gibbons (Science Advisor to President Clinton), and regional author Wilma Dykeman. The award-winning Swag Country Inn is a paradise for nature lovers who seek the finest amenities in a romantic and natural setting. We're a high country retreat nestled on 250 acres with a private entrance into Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Our sixteen exquisite guest rooms boast beautiful handcrafted interiors with features such as balconies, fireplaces, steam showers and feathered beds. We also offer tantalizing breakfasts, gourmet picnic lunches, and four-course dinners prepared by our expert chefs. The Swag is the perfect place for a honeymoon, romantic getaway, or just to enjoy the quiet majesty of the Smoky Mountains! The beautiful ridge shown in the photo above has always been called "the swag" by the folks who live here. The phrase refers to a dip on the ridge. Think of swag draperies, swag lamps, or a sway-back horse, and you'll see in your mind's eye the gentle curve of our landscape.
