🏰 About Whistlestop Manor

Whistlestop Manor was built in 1859 and has been carefully preserved to maintain its historic character and whimsical charm. In the summer of 2021, Casey and Wendi Olson purchased this incredible estate with a vision of creating a family-operated venue that honors the property’s rich history while serving as a gathering place for meaningful events. The manor sits on the banks of Sweetwater Creek, creating a serene and picturesque setting for celebrations and retreats.

The Olsons relocated to East Tennessee from the Pacific Northwest, bringing their talents and dreams to this historic property. Casey manages the day-to-day operations of the 165-year-old estate and its sprawling grounds, while Wendi brings her passion for hospitality and entertaining to every event. Together, they have transformed Whistlestop Manor into a special destination where guests can create lasting memories.
