The Smith County Chamber of Commerce would like to welcome Butterfly Hollow Bed and Breakfast, Owners Dave and Beth Ann Yakes, as new members.
Butterfly Hollow is a Bed & Breakfast, but they are more than just a place to stay.

Butterfly Hollow is a premier wedding venue nestled in Gordonsville that has been hosting gorgeous gatherings for over a year. Butterfly Hollow prides itself in its beautiful 82 acres equipped with a full bed and breakfast, hillside gazebo, floral garden, and rustic barn. Not to mention the amazing views of the Cumberland Plateau ridge, spring fed pond, and 3 miles of walking trails. This place truly has it all. It’s the perfect spot for an intimate, rustic, yet elegant wedding ceremony.
The folks at Butterfly Hollow can take care of your entire day with their “turn-key” packages or allow you to do all the planning with your own vendors. Want to do your own planning but don’t know where to start? No problem, they have a list of recommended vendors to narrow down your search. The bed and breakfast allows you to relax and enjoy the entire estate on your big day, and also provides lodging for your out of town guests or wedding party.
The convenience offered is unlike your typical venue. With only one wedding booked per day, you and your guests will have all 82 acres to yourself.

When you meet Dr. Christopher Bailey, he strikes you as a doctor whose goal is to help his patients maintain a healthy mouth and smile. As a general dentist, Dr. Bailey is earnest and enthusiastic about the training and experience he has obtained in all areas of dentistry.
Christopher Bailey, D.D.S. graduated from Spring High School (Spring, TX) in 1992. He attended Brigham Young University on a track and field scholarship, transferred schools, and obtained his undergraduate degree from the University of Memphis. After graduating from the University of Memphis, Dr. Bailey decided to continue his education and was accepted to the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis, graduating with his doctorate in dentistry. Although he is not a native Tennessean, Dr. Bailey and his family lived in Lebanon and Memphis since 1997 and are excited to return to the area. He is married to Erika Stambaugh Bailey of Lebanon, and they are the parents of three children. He enjoys playing and coaching football, baseball, and basketball, being on the water, and spending time with his family.
Dr. Bailey is excited about continuing Dr. McDonald’s tradition of “great quality care at affordable prices” and looks forward to getting to know his patients and the community.

Dr. Casey Owen was born and grew up in Smith County. He graduated from Smith County High School in 2003 and was accepted to attend the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. There he received a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Microbiology. He applied and was accepted by the University of Tennessee College of Dentistry in Memphis where he earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 2011. Upon graduation from dental school, Dr. Owen returned to the Middle Tennessee area to practice, gaining valuable experience in the field and furthering his knowledge, techniques and therapies by attending continuing education courses on a wide range of topics. When Dr. Owen first decided he wanted to become a dentist, he also knew he eventually wanted to own his own practice. After three years of being a practicing dentist he felt like the time had come, and started searching for office space to start his practice. With office space hard to find in the location he wanted to set his practice up, and since building his own space was not a viable option, he contacted Travis and Amy Dudney of Gordonsville Drugs and started discussing plans to build rental office space in Gordonsville. He also contacted his dental supply company and began to research the latest in office equipment, technology, and materials, taking trips to manufacturers to inspect production of equipment for the office. Dr. Owen wanted to offer his patients the forefront of oral healthcare including a paperless office with digital x-rays, quiet electric drills, and nitrous oxide to give the patients a relaxed enjoyable dental visit. Plans were made to open in November of 2014, and November 24th Dr. Owen started accepting new patients into his practice. Dr. Owen and his staff love seeing patients of all ages and offer a wide range of treatments including cleanings and gum therapy, tooth extractions, silver and white fillings, crown and bridge work, dentures and partials, and will continue to expand in technique and treatments into the future. “My staff and I are looking forward to serving all of Smith and surrounding counties with the best in oral healthcare.” -Dr. Casey Owen
