Simple Class: Blow the Buck’s Horn

Other reviewers have touched on the basics that make a Buckhorn Inn stay so pleasant: quiet and serene location away from the hurly-burly of Gatlinburg, beautiful and well- maintained grounds,delicious food (breakfast especially) efficient and friendly staff, gracious hosts, comfortable and tastefully decorated common areas, cottage(or room), and more. All are spot on so I will not repeat, and the Buckhorn well deserves the many raves it has gotten. My husband and I also found the inn by accident on the way to looking up something else, and what serendipity this turned out to be! The first introduction is a top notch website–beautiful photography, well-laid out, easy links to all the information needed to make an informed decision. In fact I had some misgivings that maybe the real thing would not live up to the online version, but not only was all as exactly described but even better. When viewing room details I keep my husband in mind since he is strictly a no frills fellow. The Victorian places with frills and dust catching knick knacks leave him cold. So imagine our delight to open our charming cottage door and be greeted with minimal doodads and best of all–no shams and excessive pillows that give you claustrophobia before you even get into the bed! The decor was classy yet simple ; the overall effect–clean and very comfortable. Immediately you feel at home and know you will have a wonderful stay–which we did.  June 2013  belwen4  Asheville,NC
