If you're looking for a romantic and quiet getaway in the South, Buckhorn Inn in Gatlinburg, Tennessee is a wonderful place to stay. This Diamond Collection property spans 30 acres and features a nature trail, gardens, a spring-fed lake with swans, and a meditation labyrinth. The inn has been in business since 1938 and says they are the only B&B in the area to serve dinner. They are just one mile from the north entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Some of the in-room amenities are fireplaces, Jacuzzi tubs, and private porches and terraces.
