Each morning when you arise after spending a night in the comfortable accommodations of the Woodland Cove, a Kingston, Tennessee Bed and Breakfast, you will be treated to a delicious gourmet breakfast on the Inn's outdoor deck or screened porch. While you will want to spend your days out on Watts Bar Lake and exploring the area, be sure to return to the Inn by evening when we offer guests a lovely evening dessert. Throughout your time at the Woodland Cove, help yourself to the complimentary snacks and beverages available at all times in the Butler's Pantry.
The following recipes are some of our favorites and we invite you to enjoy them in your own kitchen!
