Where to Stay

Stay close. Ride more. Make a weekend of it.

Want to stay close to the action? The Drop Inn is our Official Lodging Partner for AMBC Fall Fest and puts you right in the heart of Knoxville’s Urban Wilderness, less than a mile from Baker Creek Preserve.

Tucked into South Knoxville’s Urban Wilderness, The Drop Inn is a Boutique Outdoor Hotel offering thoughtfully designed dwellings and Pull Inn camper van sites, all with direct access to Knoxville’s trail network. Even better, it’s less than a mile from Baker Creek Preserve, home base for Fall Fest, so you can spend less time getting around and more time riding, exploring, and hanging out all weekend.

When you’re ready to venture beyond Fall Fest, you’re still in a premier spot. The Drop Inn is not far from Ijams Nature Center and Mead’s Quarry, with 60+ miles of Urban Wilderness trails and greenways nearby, while downtown Knoxville is just a few miles away.
