What an incredible place! It's like stepping back in time to a simpler place... but you'd expect that from a place that's 105+ years old! It reminds me of a Tennessee version of the hotels in Dirty Dancing or Somewhere In Time. It's all very romantic! When you're there, you're part if the family. Be prepared to make friends. You'll make friends with the staff, the other guests, the entertainers that play in the entertainment, and even the owner, who walks around all day making sure everything goes as it should. Speaking of the entertainment center, it's called the Ronnie McDowell Entertainment Center, because Ronnie was raised in the area, and you can regularly find him playing there. Other great acts that play there include T Graham Brown, Lee Newton, 2Country 4Nashville, and many more! The price of the show includes dinner, and you won't be disappointed there either! Great Southern specialties like your mama used to make, and lots of it! It's the same with the family style breakfast, that is included in the price of your room. Try the biscuits and chocolate gravy!
When you leave the Donaho Hotel, you'll most likely already be talking to your newly made friends, about when you'll be meeting them back there again!
Those are all the things that make the Donoho special. Don't come planning to watch TV or play online all day. Come planning to sit in the rocking chairs on the front porch. Come planning to hang out with your new friends, in the period decorated rooms around the lobby, after you've enjoyed your amazing dinner. Whether you come for the scenery, the music, the peace and quiet, the food, or the friendships... you'll find it at the Donoho Hotel. We spent five days there at Christmas, and three at New Years. And loved every second of it! read more
