What's nearby

  • Originally built as a saloon around 1888, the Mail Pouch Building takes its name from the charming tobacco sign which graces its western wall. Restored in 1994, the sign wall is a colorful reminder of the days when sign painters toured the country covering barns and buildings with their handiwork. Today, the building houses a unique gift and craft shop called The Crafty Peddler. Home of the 6½ ft. Cigar Store Indian carved by a local artist, this craft shop also has folk art, baskets, pottery, jewelry, home and garden décor, and Christmas creations year round. Painted around 1895, the sign itself is made up of two parts: the lower portion, advertising Mail Pouch Tobacco, processed by Bloch Bros. of Wheeling, West Virginia. The upper portion is an advertisement for Augustus B. Cummings, who was a local businessman and possibly one of the inventors of the first plow. This portion is called a privilege panel, and was traditionally given to the building’s owner or occupant as compensation for allowing the tobacco company to paint their sign on the building.

Cute Eggplant Home!

My husband, myself and our 2 children (8 & 18 months) stayed here for a little get away to the Bristol race. This home was adorable. Very clean and accommodating. Our kids LOVED the train and being able to walk to town and the little playground. If/when we go back to TN we will be staying her for sure.

This home has everything you could need! There is a white noise machine by the bed, Fiesta ware in the cabinets, hair ties under the bathroom sink, lots of extra blankets, lamps with the good kind of bulbs, storage for your suitcases and clothes, and plenty of snacks. I could go on.... Also really pretty decor and absolutely spotless. The train actually didn't bother me and it was kind of cool to feel it rumbling by. I'm definitely hoping I can stay here again!

A beautiful spot in downtown

We were here for our wedding, which took place downtown. The place was perfect for the two of us and the proximity was truly unbeatable. We loved the history of the building and the special Dr. Enuff (an east TN delicacy) by our host. This place has everything you could need and the host were very friendly!
