Ramsey House, Knoxville Tennessee

This house can boast the fact that it was the first stone house of Knox County, completed in 1797! It also sits on 100 acres so there is plenty of room for picnics, not to mention some pretty spectacular weddings. Of course, you aren’t going to want to miss the gardens.

Eagles Ridge, Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

World renowned for the diversity of its plant and animal life, the beauty of its ancient mountains, and the quality of its remnants of Southern Appalachian mountain culture, this is America’s most visited national park.”
