The Oak Hill Country Inn is a 2-story, frame, late Victorian Regional
Queen Anne style house. The Inn gets its name by its location.
It is situated on top of a hill and is surrounded by century-old oak trees.
A beautiful mountain view can be seen from nearly anywhere on the property!
Built in 1888 it was originally the home of Reverend John A Deal, a missionary
who established all of the Episcopal Churches in western North Carolina.
He also established the first lending library in Franklin, out of this home.
The next owner, Robert L. Porter, an influential Franklin businessman, resided
in the home from 1910 until his death in 1912. After his death, his widow
Florence Porter built several additions and turned the property into the first
tourist home outside the city limits of Franklin, NC. The “Oak Hill Hotel” as it
was called, operated until 1928. She also built 5 guest cottages, of which one still
remains and has been completely restored.
Today, this charming dwelling has been
fully restored to offer you every modern
lodging convenience, without distracting
from the sense of gracious comfort in
which the original owners created.
