The space
Tanasi Manor is part of the Belmont Historic District which is walking distance to the town Square in Shelbyville, TN. This 5,026 square foot home was built in 1920 by Lem Motlow (nephew and heir of Jack Daniel's Distillery) for his attorney, Charles Greer. The 2 story craftsman style home was built by state of the art standards for the era by skilled architects and laborers and was known at the time as "The Most Beautiful House in Shelbyville".

The home is being lovingly restored by the current owners who are striving to preserve as many original elements as possible. There are original wood floors, lighted wall sconces, mosaic tile, stained glass and beveled glass French doors. The original staircase and railing in the Grand Foyer makes a stunning entrance and multiple large crystal chandeliers adorn the main rooms.

We strive to create a peaceful environment for guests over 21 yrs of age to relax and enjoy their time here. In addition to spacious rooms with private sitting areas, there are multiple common areas to sit and have a coffee, snack or conversation. We serve flavored coffee, lattes, teas, cold brew, cookies and muffins.

The dining room has a coffee bar with a small refrigerator stocked with bottled water, microwave, keurig coffee maker and snacks. A sitting room is located off the dining room, a sitting area in the Grand Foyer, outdoor seating is available in the back yard, and a terrace out front with rocking chairs is available for guests.

Perfect for a romantic getaway, girl's weekend or business travelers. There are a total of 3 rooms for those traveling in groups. See our other listings.

I spend too much time: on Amazon
Most useless skill: remembering paint colors
Fun fact: I build chandeliers for me and to sell
Pets: no animals, I have bad pet allergies :(
I’m happy to spend time with my guests or give them space
My husband David and I are the lucky caretakers of this piece of Southern history. We are attempting to restore this historical home to it's original glory one project at a time. We hope you will enjoy your stay as you step back in time at Tanasi Manor, circa 1920.
