Three of us stayed in Premium 4. The carpet could be changed out (stained), but everything else, including the two bathrooms, kitchen and bedrooms were very clean, comfortable and spacious. Unless you know where you're going, it's difficult to find in the dark on the windy roads. Street signs are not illuminated so try to go in daylight. Staff and proprietors were very gracious and accommodating. Food was very tasty, except the starter of mix fruit plate was dry. I suppose it was sitting open on the dining table for some time before we arrived. The inn and grounds are gorgeous! Would definitely stay here again.

My wife and I have stayed at the Buckhorn Inn twice. The rooms are nice (I recommed the premier rooms one and two for the best view and nicest rooms), but three things stand out that make this place special. The views of Mt. LeConte (especially from the balconies of the rooms above are fantastic. The staff is very professional and attentive. But the food, the food is phenominal. Brreakfast is included in the price of the stay, but the dinner is well worth adding. This is a great place to stay

When we arrived at the Buckhorn Inn in Gatlinburg, we never expected such an awesome FIVE STAR experience. Firstly, my husband and I had the privilege of staying at the Inn's Webb Mountain House. I did not want to leave the house because it was so big, beautiful, and cozy; and the price was unbelievably affordable (we had just come from a stay at the Biltmore Hotel, and we definitely got more for our money here). Secondly, we ate breakfast and dinner at the Inn during our stay, and we became more excited each day with the meals that rivaled any upscale restaurant. And just so you know, there is ample food, and they will not let you leave hungry. In addition, to the food and amenities, the views were breathtaking. We stayed in the winter, and still enjoyed great views. The staff was awesome, and the Inn's atmosphere was so friendly and comfortable (I actually called a realtor while I was there to check on a cabin for sale near our cabin--so, when I say I didn't want to leave, I meant it) But the one thing that stole the whole show for me, and was the most memorable was a little drink called the Buckhorn Inn Iced Spice Tea. Oh my, I think I drank their whole suppy while I was there, and they even sent an email later with the recipe, which really excited me--and, yes, I have made the tea many times, and I might just share it the next time I make it:) Overall, we enjoyed the Inn so much we hardly ever left the grounds, so when we come back hopefully we will make time to see the sites in Gatlinburg and the surrounding cities. I cant' say enough good things about this place, and it makes me feel warm inside just talking about it, so if you want an unbelievable experience at an unbelievable price this is the place for you--it was worth every penny!

My wife and I stayed for 3 days in April and it was an absolute wonderful place to stay. The accomodations were wonderful - room was large and so nice. The meals were out of this world. I expected the breakfasts to be good . but the evening meals were so good, and the service was outstanding. The views from the dining room of the Smokies (and of Mt LeConte) were to die for. I recommend the Buckhorn Inn and will stay there the next time I am heading for the Smokies!!

We have been visiting The Buckhorn Inn every April for the past five years to celebrate our anniversary and our experience has been very positive in all respects. We echo all of the positive comments made by previous reviewers. When we travel, our lodging choice is a very important part of our trip as we are not the type of travelers who are on the go 24/7. Therefore we want a comfortable inviting place to return to where we enjoy spending part of each day. The elegantly casual accommodations, peaceful surroundings, beautiful views, tremendous food and a friendly attentive staff all combine to make this place a "home away from home". We wouldn't think of celebrating our anniversary anywhere else!

Our stay T Buckhorn Inn was fantastic. The cottages, the grounds, and the meals exceeded our expectations. The service was wonderful. Everyone was very friendly and helpful without being overbearing. It is so romantic with the gardenw, the walking trails, the labrynth, and the swans. It was very private yet we were close to all the attraction and sites in The Smokeys. The view from our cottage was fantastic. We will definitely be back soon.

We have stayed at the Buckhorn Inn since the early 1990s and it is one of our very favorite places! The innkeepers and staff are welcoming and gracious, the food is superb, and the inn itself is everything we could hope for. The views from the inn are spectacular, there is a well-marked nature trail on the grounds, and the beauty of the Smoky Mountain National Park is a short distance away. At the end of the day, you will want to come "home" to the Buckhorn Inn. You'll be glad you did!

Several years ago, I received a bedandbreakfast.com gift certificate, and ran across the Buckhorn Inn while searching for places to use the gift certificate. We booked a stay at the Buckhorn, and were delighted to have discovered this gem in the Smokies. We've tried other B & B's, but nothing has come close to matching the Buckhorn's premiere suites, incredible view, and gourmet breakfasts and dinners. Take our advice and make reservations for dinner at the Inn each night. The restaurants in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge usually have long waits for dinner. There is nothing more relaxing than simply walking from your room to the Inn dining room and being led to your private table--with no wait. Every meal we've ever had at the Buckhorn was excellent. On the days we hike, the Inn packs us a generous sack lunch (usually we are so stuffed from their breakfast that we just order one lunch and ask them to cut the sandwich in two). Put simply--the Buckhorn Inn is our favorite place. We are so glad the gift certificate led to such a wonderful place to stay.

Lee, John and the Buckhorn Inn Staff Thank you all so much for making this a perfect wedding weekend for Cregg and me. Everyone had a great time and really enjoyed the Inn. The food was wonderful, the rooms were great and the ceremony site was breathtaking. I can't wait to see the pictures! I can't tell you how much I appreciate all of your help throughout this planning process. Your recommendations for vendors and willingness to work with us on all of our requests were amazing. This weekend would not have come together as well as it did without the wonderful service that you all offer. And John, thank you so much for praying the rain away on Saturday! We were so happy to be able to get married outside with the mountains behind us. It was exactly what we dreamed of! We hope to visit you all again soon.

The Buckhorn Inn couldn’t be more of a contrast to the honky-tonk nature of Gatlinberg. Our stay at the Buckhorn was the perfect celebration for our 35th wedding anniversary. Located in the heart of the Arts and Crafts district, we found several quality studios and galleries within walking distance of the Inn. Although all the rooms in Cottage 1 were very comfortable, the screened porch with its view of Mt. LeConte was magnificent. Breakfasts were imaginative, dinners elegant. The nature trail was a delight, complete with nesting mute swans and pileated woodpeckers. Our hosts were gracious and we felt that when they said they hoped we’d come back, it was sincere.

The Buckhorn Inn is truly an escape from the everyday. A quiet, secluded location, the inn is a place to unwind and re-charge the batteries. The gracious owners, John and Lee Mellor, take care of each guest on a personal level. Often, you will see them serving at either breakfast or dinner. The food is fabulous. We have stayed several times at the Buckhorn and have never been disappointed in every aspect. You can't go wrong with whatever accommodation you choose -- the cottages are slightly more expensive but afford more privacy, and the rooms in the Inn are also well appointed and feel private as well. The Inn is not far from Gatlinburg, but you might be enjoying yourself so much here that you might not want to leave!

We have been visiting Buckhorn Inn twice a year since 1992. Each visit is unique and relaxing. Lee and John Mellor and the staff attend to your every need, yet provide for the privacy everyone yearns for. The scenery is spectacular, and the food delicious. People visit Buckhorn from all over the world, and it's a chance to make new friends. We look forward to our next visit!

We just enjoyed another weekend at the Buckhorn Inn, and what a lovely respite from the cares of the world. The Inn is older, well-established, and run by a delightfully classy couple who attend to every detail. Don't miss dinner! The twenty-five acres of hills, woods, hiking trail, gardens, and a lovely pond were a bonus. We will go back again and again.

Our stay was relaxing and the cleanliness was the best I have ever experienced while traveling. The surroundings are breath taking and the food is some of the best!!! They go out of their way to please you yet stay out of the way for you to relax and enjoy. Don't miss this gem of an Inn.
