Hendersonville’s annual Holiday Tour of Inns & Cookie Caper embodies the warmth and spirit of the Christmas season.

This festive self-driving tour takes you to five historic inns decorated in holiday grandeur, with each host going all out to serve the tastiest cookies.

Take a walk through history as you explore Hendersonville’s elegant and romantic inns. This year’s tour features a mix of returning and new locations. Returning are the 1898 Waverly Inn, Echo Mountain Inn, and Elizabeth Leigh Inn. Participating for the first time are the Charleston Inn and Osceola Lake Inn.

Tickets for the Holiday Tour of Inns & Cookie Caper are $20 for adults and $10 for children age 17 and under. Ticket purchase includes a brochure map with a brief history of each property, as well as cookies at each stop.

Proceeds from this event help fund the Hendersonville Historic Preservation Commission’s efforts. The Commission is honored to present one of the many Home for the Holidays events in partnership with Visit Hendersonville.

Tickets go on sale Oct. 31 at the Hendersonville Welcome Center, 201 S Main St. in Hendersonville. Out-of-town visitors may line up tickets by contacting Sam Hayes at (828) 341-7081 or via email.
