As we bear down on Labor Day, and what for many is the last official weekend of summer celebrations, we can somewhat reluctantly welcome the start of fall. The hillsides above Chattanooga are already showing hints of their colorful autumnal hues, which means now is the perfect time to plan a getaway to our romantic Inn.  As the air begins to cool, we’ll soon be surrounded by fall’s hallmark hues of crimson, orange, yellow, and green. You won’t have to go far to see the finest fall foliage the South has to offer, as Mother Nature unfolds her annual show of color starting in the north, and creeping further south throughout the season.  We have a few great ideas to make this fall foliage season one you’ll never forget. But first, you need to book your room at our luxury Chattanooga Bed and Breakfast. Rooms will fill up fast during peak fall foliage season, so don’t wait!
