Originally
built as a family home for a wealthy Knoxville merchant in 1917,
Maplehurst Inn holds a rich tradition of Southern hospitality and
fine cuisine. In 1982, this home was updated and four bedrooms were
added to the front portion of the house. It was converted into a bed
and breakfast for the World's Fair, located in Knoxville, TN., the
same year. It opened under rave reviews as the Middleton House. 1998
marked another turning point for this Knoxville landmark. New life
was breathed into this grand old house as well as new management and
caretakers. Southern
hospitality in an intimate atmosphere is what the Maplehurst Inn has
to offer. A small yellow canopy, a discrete sign, and a pair of
old-fashioned
lanterns are the only indications of the Maplehurst
Inn's presence - designed that way to attract an elite clientele.
Located in quiet and historic Maplehurst Park in downtown Knoxville,
travelers will be surrounded by the University of Tennessee, the
1982 World's Fair Park, and the Downtown District. The Tennessee
River flows within a stone's throw from the backyard. Travelers are
within a three block walk to the Convention Center, the Courthouse,
City Hall, and some of the finest restaurants that Knoxville has to
offer. During late Summer, Maplehurst Inn offers the best seats to
watch Boom's Day... the largest Labor Day fireworks display East of
the Mississippi River.
So make your reservations now and become a part of the living
history of Maplehurst Inn.
