Holston House in The Reivers (Location)

The drivers who work for the Priest's livery stable regularly take "drummers" - i.e. traveling salesman - from the train station to "the hotel" (8). The hotel referred to is is almost certainly the "Holston House" (25) which the novel mentions later, the oldest and finest hotel in Jefferson. It boasts "carpets and brass cuspidors and leather chairs and linen table cloths" (25).
