Enjoy an East Tennessee Holiday at Whitestone Country Inn
All too often, the holiday season is one of chaos. Between the busy bustle of holiday parties, holiday shopping, and those all-important holiday meals and traditions, it’s hard to find the time to slow down and savor the joyous spirit of the season. Holidays should be about spending time with those closest to you; about taking the time out of our busy schedules to experience the full range of holiday traditions, whether it’s festivals of trees and lights, parades, horse-drawn carriage rides, ice skating, old-fashioned caroling, or holiday baking.
No where is it more beautiful or vibrant during the holiday season than in East Tennessee. The East Tennessee holiday season is magical; filled with traditions old and new, and sure to offer something that the entire family will enjoy. Stay with us at Whitestone Country Inn this winter, and experience an East Tennessee holiday like no other.
