Lights, camera, action: A new reality show, starting August 15th on CMT, was filmed on location at a Tennessee bed and breakfast in the Smoky Mountains. The fictional bed and breakfast, Outsiders Inn, chronicles the daily challenges faced in running an inn for the first time by a new innkeeper, actress Maureen McCormick, and her fellow actors, Carnie Wilson and Bobby Brown. While we cannot reveal the plot, iLoveInns.com can take you behind the scenes and introduce you to the majesty of the Smoky Mountains and the romantic Tennessee bed and breakfast where it was filmed.
Artisans & Adventures Await in Smoky Mountains
The reality show Outsiders Inn, starring Maureen McCormick was shot on location at Christopher Place, a distinctive Eastern Tennessee bed and breakfast nestled in the Smoky Mountains. A bounty of activities awaits your visit. The choices for outdoors adventurers include fishing or riding the rapids on the French Broad River or hiking over 800 miles of maintained trails. If you prefer the skies, then take a champagne tour from above as you sip the bubbly and take in the breathtaking views in a hot air balloon. A favorite activity of inn guests at Christopher Place is the hike to White Rock, with its scenic overlook of the Smoky Mountains.
For the shopper there are over 400 unique artisan galleries and boutiques as well as great bargains at numerous designer outlet shops. Morristown has a worthy selection of antique shops, which include Appalachian collectibles as well as European furniture.
For the romantic, take your partner and a picnic lunch and have a creekside rendezvous at the Hen Wallow Waterfalls in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Wake to freshly-brewed coffee and watch the sunrise over the Smoky Mountains from your balcony vista; conclude the day with a candlelit dinner at Christopher Place. You may also choose to lounge by the heated outdoor pool or schedule a soothing body massage in your room.
Families will not only enjoy the great outdoors activities, such as mountain biking in the Cherokee National Forest, but they can spend time at Dolly Parton’s “Dollywood” theme park down the road in Pigeon Forge. Golfers will appreciate the 6 scenic golf courses nearby. And those who prefer to sightsee by car will not be disappointed as the drives along the Foothills Parkway and Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trails as well as wildlife sightings along the 11-mile loop of Cade’s Cove are nothing less than spectacular. Christopher Place is a secluded bed and breakfast on over 200 acres and hence a perfect spot to escape for a weekend or week, yet its location allows you easy access to all the area offers, including towns of Gatlinburg, Morristown or Cosby.
Cherished Memories at Christopher Place
Inside this bed and breakfast, guests at Christopher Place can create their own memories, perhaps even more wonderful than those of the actors on Outsiders Inn. The top choice for your own Tennessee romantic getaway may be the Roman Holiday room which features panoramic Smoky Mountain views as well as a double whirlpool bath, wood-burning fireplace and a King bed. Another favorite at this Eastern TN bed & breakfast is the luxurious Tournament of Roses room with its private entrance, a Queen bed and flat screen plasma TV & DVD. If you wish to step back in time, choose the Camelot room with its King bed, comfortable wing chairs and marble private bathroom as well as perhaps the best mountain views in the entire bed and breakfast. The richness of this inn comes through in the common areas as well, with crystal chandeliers, hand-carved furniture, massive fireplaces and marbled floors. Besides a daily full breakfast included in the room rate, for an additional charge you can also reserve dinner and have it served privately in your own room! Owner Marston Price and his staff’s attention to detail and desire to make you feel warmly welcomed and elegantly pampered will enhance your visit and prompt you to return again and again to this Tennessee bed and breakfast gem in the Smoky Mountains.
