The best memories are often made of good friends, good food, and a little slice of time to be together. We enjoy our trips to Buckhorn so much. Thank you for making everything so special. We feel like all of you are old friends and we enjoy seeing all of you as much as we enjoy the mountains and the great food.

The Comforts of Home

Buckhorn Inn

Buckhorn has all the comforts of home without the responsibilities. We thoroughly enjoyed the art and the sitting room was perfect for playing cards. Every detail has been attended to. The owners are charming and down-to-earth, the food absoltely scrumptious. Last nobt not least is the magnificent view of Mt Le Conte which we enjoyed from our room and at breakfast and dinner. We loved working hard on the hiking trails and returning here for the perfect R&R.

Charming Retreat

From the moment of our arrival to celebrate our 25th anniversary, a sense of warmth and beauty surrounded us. John and Lee are both very helpful and gracious hosts. All of the staff have been wonderful. The inn is a charming retreat. The surrounding mountains are the closest ting to heaven I've ever imagined. Our time at Buckhorn has been quite memorable.

Our last minut eplan for a weekend getaway led us to Buckhorn. We searched the internet for bed and breakfasts and found Buckhorn Inn. We feel so forunate to be among those who also enjoyed the peace and quiet we found here. The view of the mountains is so beautiful that we find ourselves relaxing quicker than we though possible. We love the s tyle and charm of the Inn and hope to return again. The hospitality was great.
