Beechwood Inn, Clayton

Beechwood Inn, Clayton

This is a nice bed and breakfast. They also host weekly (Saturday night) gourmet dinners with wines, some local vintages. We've done the 'bed-and-breakfast' part, but haven't tried the Saturday dinners yet.

In Clayton, take US-76 East from US-441, and turn left after a few hundred feet, on Beechwood Drive. Follow signs to the inn.

North 40 Lodge

We've stayed here in the past, several times. Very comfortable and quiet. Owners Jinger (that's the way she spells it!) and Bobby Blackburn are gracious hosts; one time, they invited us to their own party, with neighbors and friends, on their back patio.

Stockton House in Clayton

Nice restaurant, with a good, all-around menu, and a big view of Screamer Mountain. It is on Warwoman Road, a few blocks east of US-441.
