Some Things Change–Others Don’t

Buckhorn Inn Regular Malinda Lewis has been visiting Gatlinburg for almost fifty years. The photo above shows her on her first visit in 1961. Wow! She and her husband Buck continue to be faithful Buckhorn guests and Malinda wrote the free verse below to celebrate her experiences at the Inn. Oh yes–she’s as good-looking today as she was in 1963.
Honey-gold shafts of light through the trees
The mountains in summer like waves of green velvet
The smells of breakfast cooking if you’re lucky enough to stay in a traditional room
Sunsets over Mt Le Conte
Stargazing on the front lawn
The Pittman Center Heritage Days Festival in September
Rhododendrons in full bloom in June
Hoar frost that sparkles like diamonds
Savoring sweet treats in the sitting room in the afternoon
Visiting with other guests about hikes and good books.
Staff who welcome and treat you like family
