When our tour of town was finished, we were able to drop our bags into our home for the next six nights, the Olde Mill Inn Bed and Breakfast. The Inn has eight guest rooms with varying sizes, themes and amenities. We stayed in the Thomas Walker Annex, which has its own parking spot and private balcony. It’s the Inn’s newest and largest room and one of two pet friendly rooms. It was named after the first documented explorer to come through Cumberland Gap, Dr. Thomas Walker. It’s decorated to reflect Walker’s sense of adventure. The room has two Queen size beds, a large sitting area, corner desk, mini fridge, microwave, Keurig, and a mud room perfect for storing luggage. The Thomas Walker Annex can sleep up to five guests, and you’ll fall asleep listening to the sound of the
historic water wheel outside your window. Inside the main portion of the Inn there are two rooms on the first floor and six rooms on the second floor. The Cabin (first floor) is the second pet friendly room. It’s designed to look like a 1700s log cabin. There are no stairs needed to get to The Cabin, and the shower has a seat, making the room partially handicap accessible. The other first floor room is one of our favorites at the Inn. It’s called Nana’s, and it’s decorated with a bright sunflower theme. On the second floor you’ll find The Suite, Front Parlor, Creekside, Pinnacle (with the most gorgeous view), and Daniel Boone (featuring rustic bunk beds). All of the rooms are beautiful, and they include a delicious breakfast daily. Coffee starts brewing around 8:15 every morning, and
