Buckhorn Inn featured in Paula Deen’s Magazine

Be sure to look for the October 2019 issue of Paula Deen’s magazine Cooking with Paula.  http://www.pauladeenmagazine.com  The issue’s travel section features an article “Smoky Mountain Retreat:  Good Eats and Great Views Await in Gatlinburg”.  Author Whitney Durrwachter wrote:

Paula Deen's magazine recommends the fine dining at Buckhorn Inn.

We were thrilled to be included in the magazine article.

“For a refined, fine-dining experience, visit the Buckhorn Inn bed-and-breakfast (www.buckhorninn.com).  Visitors can make reservations for the delicious four-course dinner, served daily at 7 p.m. in the inn’s dining room that features a cozy fire and views of the Smokies.  If you’re a guest, you can also enjoy the delectable breakfast and the respite of the tucked-away cottages and lovely rooms for a relaxing mountain escape.”

Paula Deen’s Feature Includes Neighbors

For “sights and bites”, the article features Anakeesta and its Cliff Top Grill & Bar.    The  outdoor family park features sweeping panoramas and a myriad of ways to enjoy them.  Once you take the enclosed gondola or open chairlift ride to the top, you can go ziplining,.  Or if you prefer, you can enjoy the view from a walk through the tree canopy or a rocking chair by the fire.  The Gatlinburg Sky Park with its 680-foot long suspension bridge is included.  In addition to Buckhorn Inn, Pancake Pantry, The Park Grill and Split Rail Eats are recommended for dining.

Of course the shopping recommendations include the Paula Deen Store!  But Savannah Bee Company, and  Ole Smokey Moonshine Distillery are recommended stops also.  You know that we love the many artists and artisans whose shops are located near us.  The article touts the Great Smoky Arts & Crafts Community and give a special shout-out to Alewine Pottery.

We were delighted to see Gatlinburg promoted as a beloved vacation spot filled with attractions for all ages.  As the article says, “from the excitement of exploring downtown to the relaxation of winding through the surrounding mountains, there is something for everyone in this Appalachian destination”.

Buckhorn Neighbor: G Webb Gallery

One of our favorite depictions of the Buckhorn Inn is by our neighbor, G Webb.

Our neighbor, G Webb, created this lovely picture of the Buckhorn.

Prints of “Buckhorn Inn” are available in our gift shop.

The painting captures the timeless charm of the Inn, and includes our beautiful views.  

The G Webb Gallery is on Buckhorn Road

Virginia born, G Webb grew up in Nashville, TN.  By age 10 he already was an avid painter.  In 1971 he opened his first gallery in Murfreesboro, TN.  However, once he began painting the beautiful mountain scenery in east Tennessee, he knew he was “home”.   His scenic watercolors convey a sense of the serenity he feels in this part of the country.  G’s work focuses on landscapes, mountainscapes, mountain heritage, and historical sites.  G and his wife Vickie are the proud parents of Cami Monet, a talented water colour artist in her own right.  Their gallery on Buckhorn Road showcases the art of both father and daughter.  You can find more details at http://www.gwebbgallery.com.  Both original watercolors and limited edition lithographs are available at the gallery.

What is a Lithograph?

Lithography was invited in 1796 by the Alois Senefelder in Bavaria.  Essentially, an oil-based image is put on the surface of a smooth sheet of limestone.  Then a gum Arabic solution is applied to the surface.  The solution only sticks to the non-oily surface.  During printing, water is attracted to the gum Arabic parts and repelled by the oily surfaces.  The oily ink used for printing does the opposite.  A refined method of this technique is still used for fine art prints today.  The process for fine-art prints was enhanced around 1816 and was used by such artists as Delacroix in the 1820’s.  Goya produced his last series by lithography and during the 1870’s such artists as Degas began producing most of their art by lithography.

The G Webb Gallery is on Buckhorn Road, a short distance from the Buckhorn Inn.  They are a proud member of the Great Smoky Arts & Crafts Community.  The next time you visit us, we encourage you to spend an afternoon exploring the 8-mile craft loop.  We have maps showing the locations of some of our favorite artist galleries and artisan shops.
