The Historic Eureka Inn—Originally built as a residence in 1797

Experience the charm of the past and comforts of the present at the Historic Eureka Inn. The exquisite interior of the Inn is filled with elegant and reproduction furniture.

Each of the inn’s 14 unique rooms create the perfect blend of past and present.  They offer spacious, quiet rooms with private, attached baths, free wireless, cable television, central heat and air with individual controls, acoustic soundproofing, in-room safes, all natural bath products and hand-ironed sheets. 

Relax on one of three wonderful porches where you can observe life on Main Street or life in the garden.  The gardens offer a lovely outdoor venue for weddings, family gatherings or just a lovely place to escape the daily grind.  Read a book in the gazebo, have breakfast in the courtyard, take a nap by the creek or pick berries in the edible garden. 

Ready for breakfast? Continental choices include organic and in season produce from local farmers whenever possible. The innkeeper's gourmet banana bread will satisfy your sweet tooth and there will be additional choices for those with needs for gluten intolerance, diabetic, vegan or vegetarians.

History of the Historic Eureka Inn

The history of the Eureka Inn has included many changes over the last 200 years and the blending of these additions was so perfect that the hotel appears to have been built all at the same time.

• In 1797, Robert Mitchell and his wife Harriett purchased “Lot #19” from the Town of Jonesborough to construct a private residence.
• In 1851, William Henry Maxwell purchased the home and had a “jury room” in one of the large bedrooms that still serves as a meeting room today.
• In 1869, Laura Gosnell purchased the property to be used as a private residence and boarding house.
• In 1900, Peter Miller and his wife Harriett opened the Eureka hotel to offer hospitality to travelers and business people.
• In 1910, J.R. Russell purchased the Inn and added the first bathtub with hot and cold running water.
• In the 1950's, a restaurant, grocery store, and a taxi cab business had taken over the ground floor.
• In 1997, the hotel is restored back to its days of glory and offers the best of past and present.
