Overview of Buckhorn Inn

The Buckhorn Inn, founded in 1938, is only minutes from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. While the inn provides the convenience of proximity to the park and the gateway communities of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge it preserves a quiet and private setting in its secluded location on 25 acres of forest and meadows. The Buckhorn is not a normal bed and breakfast. It is so much more. The lodging choices for guests are outstanding. The main building of the inn offers traditional and premier rooms. The rooms all have an attractive design and tasteful decor. The premier rooms offer more space and contain fireplaces, decks, and jacuzzi tubs. Just a short stroll from the main building are private cottages consisting of living rooms and fireplaces in a quaint environment. The screened porches with mountain views are certainly an inviting amenity of the private cottages. And with even more privacy and space, the three gorgeous private guesthouses are a superb choice for families or groups of four to six people. The houses have multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, expanded kitchen amenities, and decks with picturesque views. For that romantic getaway, the in-room indulgences that guests can request for any room will be sure to please.

Guests can expect a hearty complimentary breakfast at the Buckhorn Inn. It is served daily from 8 am to 9:30 am in the main building. A four-course gourmet dinner is also open for guests in the main building. Seating for inn guests and the public is at 7 pm each evening. Walking into the main building at the inn is a treat. Besides the dining area, there is a stone fireplace to sit by, walls of windows with breathtaking views, a covered flagstone terrace outside, a large common room with coffee/snack bar and deck, and even a modern fitness room. The grounds surrounding the Buckhorn Inn are beautiful with well-maintained forests and meadows, a pond with swans and fish, quiet walkways, a self-guided nature trail, and Rachel's Labyrinth. The labyrinth is one of the largest in the United States and is open from sunrise to sunset. Guests can enjoy all seasons of the year and their particular beauties at the Buckhorn Inn. The Buckhorn Inn is also located within the Great Smoky Mountain Arts & Crafts Community. The community is comprised of the largest group of independent artisans in the United States in an eight-mile loop around the Buckhorn Inn. So, whether visiting the arts & crafts community, the bustling nearby towns of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, or the magnificent Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the Buckhorn Inn is the place to stay for luxury lodging, delicious food, and satisfying relaxation.
