"Nestled at the foot of Knobley Mountain is a place for people who hunger for country quiet."
The Charleston Gazette

Every room at Thorn Run Inn expresses our dedication to comfort and craftsmanship from a culture past. In addition to hardwood floors, and beautiful full-sized windows, there are ceiling fans in every guestroom. Below are descriptions of each of these rooms. Please note that room furnishings change from time to time as we find prizes at local auctions. For current room prices please consult our prices page.
The
Greenland Gap Suite has two large rooms joined with a doorway.
The first of these rooms opens to the front hallway and has a window looking
eastward out the front of the Inn. The queen-sized bed pictured to
the left is a Maine County bed, with an antique family coverlet hanging
on the wall. The framed print is a copy of a watercolor of our barn
done by a Scottish guest of the house. The room features a beautiful
but non-functional fireplace in 
which
we have placed candles. The room also includes two armchairs, a beautiful
coffee table, an armoire, and an oak library desk with chair.
The full-sized bed to the right is in the adjoining room with the doorway
visible just to the left of the bed. This room contains the bathroom
and its furnishings include a dresser; with mirror, old farm table with
two chairs, and a small armchair rocker by the window.
Two
of our rooms open onto the landing at the top of the central staircase.
The one pictured to the right is the Mountain Room, named after
Patterson's Creek Mountain seen from one of its windows. It
features an old iron full-sized bed with a feather mattress. This is our
brightest room with a large window looking west and another looking east
over the front lawn. It furnishings include a dresser, a rocker,
a small arm chair and table. The bathroom in this room has a bathtub.
The
Sunrise
Room is the second room located off the landing at the top of the central
staircase. This room has a queen-sized bed with a feather mattress,
and a bathroom with a shower. Other furnishings include a dresser
with mirror, a handmade drop leaf pine table, an armchair, a rocking chair,
and an antique sewing machine. 
The
quilt hanging on the wall came from a local farm auction.
At
the top of the back stairway are two guestrooms and a shared bathroom.
The two rooms are the Sugar Maple Room, and the Chestnut Room.
The main bed in the Sugar Maple Room is pictured to the right.
It is a full-sized bed with a feather mattress. This room also has
a twin-sized bed against the other wall. Its furnishings include
the old desk and desk chair in the picture, as well as a dresser and small
rocking chair. This room shares a bathroom with the room across the
landing. 
The
Chestnut Room includes this old iron full-sized bed and a twin-sized
bed. This room (also pictured at the top of this page from the opposing
angle.) is furnished with an oak dresser and mirror, chair and rocker,
and end tables. As the rearmost room in the house, this may well
have been the mother-in-law suite, or perhaps a room for the hired help.
As such, it's trim, floors, windows... demonstrate a simplicity that in
early times was seen as low status, but which now make it a favorite room
of our best customers.
