Highland Manor Inn
About Highland Manor Inn in Crossville, TN
The Highland Manor Inn provides the kind of lodging that chain hotels simply cannot replicate - a bed and breakfast with individual rooms, a genuine breakfast, and staff who know Crossville and can tell you where to eat, what to see, and how to make the most of your time in Cumberland County. For visitors who come to Crossville for a weekend at the Playhouse and a round of golf, or a stay at Cumberland Mountain combined with some hiking, the Inn provides a more personal experience than the highway corridors of motel options.
The property is comfortable and well-maintained, with rooms that feel like a home rather than a hotel inventory unit. Breakfast is the selling point that regulars mention most - a real sit-down morning meal that sets up the day properly. On cool plateau mornings in October, that matters more than you might think when you're heading out for a round of golf or a hike.
Crossville itself rewards an overnight stay more than a quick pass-through. The Cumberland County Playhouse is best experienced with a pre-show dinner and no rush to get home. Cumberland Mountain State Park's sunrise over the lake is worth waking up for. The Highland Manor Inn puts you in position for both without the pressures of a long drive at the end of the evening.
The Inn is close to downtown Crossville and convenient to the main routes connecting to the state park, golf courses, and the Playhouse. For repeat visitors to Crossville, it often becomes the default lodging choice once discovered.
