Bunkhouse Inn

My sisters and I live in different states and met at the Bunkhouse Inn for a little family reunion. We were a little nervous at first because it was more rustic than we were used to, and the owners were not on site. We were able to call the owners and they either answered immediately or called us back to answer all of our questions. The cutest room was Critter Cove which had an additional crib sized mattress that wasn’t included in the website description. The Bear Den has a glider rocker. Firewood was available to use in the fire pits at the restaurant in front of the Inn. We just used it and paid for it the next day. One caveat: the restaurant is only open for a few hours during lunch, even though they advertise being open until 7 pm. Plan to eat elsewhere if you arrive outside of lunchtime! We stayed for 2 nights instead of the 3 nights that we had reserved, and the owners quickly credited my credit card for the unused night. It was an all around good experience.

My friend and I came to the Smoky Mountains and stayed at this hotel; it was my favorite motel EVER… I felt so at-home…the walls & beds were made of logs, furniture was hand-​carved, original paintings on walls, and so much detail put into this place, I felt like it was a work of art… BEAUTIFUL place… The room was super-​clean, and a refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker were included. Best of all, there was also a back door opened to a beautiful creek with a patio and picnic table. I felt so welcome and so relaxed being there. $ 70 was a fantastic price for the value! I couldn’t ask for anything better!
