It started Thebuildingwasconstructedafterthe Western North became the hotspot for dining passengers and railway By 1894, the hotels business was booming during. - the summer season, and Dills decided to sell it in - hopes of devoting more time to his other interests. That is when R. Frank Jarrett of Franklin, ~ NC took over. He bought the inn that year and changed the name to The Jarrett Springs Hotel. As one could assume, the name certainly had sig- nificance. Jarrett discovered a sulfur spring be- hind the hotel that flowed into a basin of soapstone. During the late 1800s, many mountain folks gath- ered to watering holes so that they could take in significant minerals. During this time, it was believed that sipping from these waters would give a persons body energy and longer life. Naturally, Jarrett popularized the spring by adding it to the name. He even went on to build a summer house over the spring with encir- cling chairs so that guests could sit around it. From there, the hotel became a popular lodg- ing for tourists in the summertime. During the summer season visitors came from warm, flat ar- eas of the country to enjoy the peaceful moun- tainous season in western North Carolina. However, the beautiful weather and enchanting spring were not the only assets to bring in guests. Tourists from all over came to get a taste of Miss - Sallies home cooking. As Jarretts wife, Miss Sal- . - lie was expertly in charge of the inns dining. Her. famous redeye gravy, fried ham and buttermilk - biscuits became a sensation. The familys famed ham was often served with sourwood honey, home-: made butter, and garden-fresh vegetables that came straight from their plot. Not only were the meals. ' delicious, but they were overwhelming in size.. quilts made by mom, grandma, and the other special women in your. life, on porch railings, and : more, stated the Macon : County Chamber of Com- | At every meal, the platters kept coming to the tables and caused strong men to weep - be-. cause they couldnt eat as much as they want-, ed, says The Jarrett House official website.

Jarrett and his wife owned and_ op- erated the inn. until he died in. .1950. It was then sold, by the heirs of the home, to W.B. Faw, a hotel operator out of Gainesville, GA. Faw renamed the inn The Jarrett House.

She then sold it to Mr: and: Mrs. Bruce Silvis and Miss Florence Harris.

There will also be a bistro with indoor and outdoor: _ seating, according to The Sylva Herald.
