5 out of 5A night in the Smokies
September 12, 2012
We were passing through Gatlinburg on our way to Cincinnati and wanted to try another B&B as we often do. The Buckhorn is fabulous. We stayed in the tower room. It is the best as far as we are concerned. It is a very private section of the Inn. It has three levels, so it may not be suitable for everyone, but we loved it. Very clean and a beautiful view from any part of the Inn. Lush gardens and trails to explore. The food was outstanding along with the service. You can just sit on the rocking chairs of the back porch for hours and enjoy the spectacular view while having tea or coffee, or enjoy the side deck amidst all the lush foliage. They have thought of everything to make you comfortable including a hammock. This Inn would be great any time of the year. Winter would be just as cozy and appealing as the Spring. Large fireplaces and books galore. You will not be disappointed.

My husband and I have stayed here three times and love it. The breakfast is amazing. The rooms are cozy and clean, and the staff is so friendly. Every time we are in the smokies, we stop by for dinner even if we are not staying over. The food is so unique and fresh, which is a rare find for the area. The inn is located 10 mins from downtown Gatlinburg, but is secluded so that you do not feel like you are in the middle of town. We highly recommend it for anyone!

My wife and I chose the Buckhorn Inn to celebrate our wedding anniversary (48 yrs). We did not know what to expect since this would be our first visit and we knew no one to ask for a reference. To say that we were pleased would be an understatement. The Inn is fabulous. I know of no other to describe our visit. Our first visit will not be our last. Be sure and have dinner.

The Inn is in a beautiful setting with great views of Mt. LeConte. The grounds are well maintained. Staff is friendly and very accommodating. Rooms were very clean and have all amenities to make your stay comfortable. Food was fabulous. An afternoon rain storm made us happy we had made plans for dinner at the Inn. Very relaxing atmosphere. We have been several times and look forward to the next visit. Every season is great at the Buckhorn.

June 16, 2011
My husband and I spent a couple of nights in one of the Buckhorn cottages as part of our honeymoon and we were very impressed. Everything about the place is classy, yet comfortable. The cottage was just the perfect size for two and the bathroom was really nice (punctuated by the fact that we'd stayed at a Motel 6 and a Days Inn the two preceding nights). The free breakfasts were so amazing that we decided to make dinner reservations for one night of our stay and the meal was wonderful--very elegant and appetizing. We also appreciated the little elements of hospitality here and there, like the complimentary drinks and snacks in the downstairs reading room, movies and books we could borrow and the cozy robes in the cottage. The staff was friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome. We truly felt like guests, rather than just customers. We definitely plan to go back.
5 out of 5Old Time Service and feel
June 09, 2011
My wife and I just celebrated out 1yr anniversary and I chose the Buckhorn Inn for her surprise getaway. From the time we arrived we were treated with the upmost respect and service. We stayed in the Towere room because of it's exclusivity and it was great. The whole place has a quaint, very 1930's-1940's feel. The service is beyond excellent with a staff to match. Thank you Buckhorn for an unbelievable anniversary. We will be back.
5 out of 5Don't know where to begin
June 04, 2011
FABULOUS everything! I knew the Buckhorn reputation for great views and being away from all the Gatlinburg noise, and that's why we booked there. We got so much more!! We were 2 couples meeting half-way for an extended weekend stay (5 nights) and wanted to have a place we could spread out and enjoy our time together as well as the beautiful area. The owners and staff give a royal treatment there. Everyone smiles, is helpful, takes the time to get to know the visitors. The owners, John and Lee, make a point of talking to everyone at least once a day. They throw a Manager's Hour get together every few days before dinner to meet and visit with the guests, complete with spiced tea and other goodies. Breakfast (included) is way beyond anywhere else - eggs made to perfection, homemade muffins and biscuits, thick bacon...if you want to sleep in, they'll deliver to your room. We did this one day - the coffee was hot, juice cold, waffles stuffed with strawberries and cream still warm, and the eggs were warm too. What a way to start a lazy day! And some of the evening meals (extra) are to die for too. We ate at the Inn 2 nights during our stay and were thrilled with both. It's a set 4-course menu that changes every night. The Inn also has a very nice wine menu - nice by affordable and some darn good tasting wines to boot. Nothing is rushed either because once you're seated, no one is waiting for your table. All dinners are at 7 and you must have reservations. Oh, our accomodations - we rented the Webb House and all of us thought it perfect for what we wanted. There's a little park area next door to it, and we watched the sun set there on 3 of our nights. The pictures of the Webb House online give a good representation of the space and layout of the house. The Mellor's have really upscaled everything since taking it over about 14 years ago. I will recomment the Buckhorn Inn to all our friends, and look forward to another visit soon.
5 out of 5Fourth Visit and still enchanted
June 02, 2011
Returning to the Buckhorn for our fourth visit, we found ourselves as in love with the place as the first time. We didn't think it would be possible to improve the food or the service, but somehow they both exceeded our expectations. The peace and tranquility to be found at the Buckhorn are so valuable--qualities hard to find these days. Just gazing out at the view of Mt. Le Conte, whether from the lovely dining room or your bathroom, is wonderful for the soul. We are already looking forward to our fifth visit, which we've decided must be longer duration.
