Here are some recent Tripadvisor reviews:

First time visit for us but traveling with friends who have stayed there previously.
Couldn’t have been more pleased from checking in to checking out. Room was spacious; bed very comfortable, and the food…fantastic. Breakfast had several choices, all of which were great. Had dinner there one night and service, food, and attention to detail were spot on.
Saved best for last…the view. Unforgettable to sit and take in the view of Smokies and Mt Leconte. Beautiful.
Overall, can’t wait to visit again. The perfect blend of old charm, great service, and nature views.
Stayed in Premier 1. Great room!

We needed a peaceful get-a-way in nature and Buckhorn Inn provided a soothing healing balm to our souls. The setting is tucked away from traffic and the staff is very accommodating. Our breakfasts were superb and daily snacks were a pleasant surprise. This is an older Inn with modern conveniences. They also practice safety measures during this time of social distancing.

I have lived in East Tennessee for 30 years. I have never found a better inn than the Buckhorn. If you want gracious service, clean lodging, and terrific food this is the place for you when visiting the mountains. My wife and I have been guests on numerous occasions and we have never been disappointed.

Gorgeous little inn, tucked away in the Smokies, with beautiful views. We had a wonderful stay; we’ll make it our regular stop whenever we’re in Gatlinburg. Centrally located, so it’s not too far from anything, but hidden away so it’s private – wonderful inn!

I happened upon the Buckhorn Inn while searching for a place in the Gatlinburg area and decided to take a chance. This place is amazing, relaxing and a hidden gem in the middle of beautiful mountains! Our room which was premier 4 was nothing short of spectacular. The breakfasts are delicious and they do offer special dinners which are equally delicious. Everyone that we encountered was very friendly. This was the first time we really traveled
during this pandemic and I felt completely comfortable and safe at the Buckhorn Inn. This is a place we will definitely book again.

I had had dinner at the Buckhorn a few times through the past few years.
I finally got the chance to stay there! Stayed in Cottage #7, perfect, in my opinion. The cottage was small, clean, and very cozy. We loved the jacuzzi tub in the bathroom!
It rained a little during our visit, but that only added to the charm of the surrounding scenery. The screened-in porch and balcony off the bedroom were so adorable.
Dinners and breakfasts, included in the price, were well prepared and planned. My only regret is that we could not finish all of our food!
Not enough good things can be said about the staff…warm and welcoming and cheerful. Yes, this must sound too good to be true…but it is true. And listen to this: fresh brownies or cookies in the afternoon. We met some wonderful people in the common areas, and we toured the grounds. The swans are magnificent.
Please try to stay here, it is close, yet a world away from Gatlinburg. Maybe hike to Laurel Falls, as we did.
Obviously, I cannot say enough good things about this place!
