If you are looking for quiet, casual, simple, then you will like this place right near the Great Smokies. The room was clean, comfortable and very reasonably priced. Outside the back of the room was a beautiful swift running river. One downside was that for the 6 units, there were 3 tables and 3 firepits so it was not as... More

Just back from a fantastic 3-night stay. This place was quiet, clean, and comfortable. We stayed in the Deer Lodge room which has two very comfortable double beds. We enjoyed the fire pits and sitting along the river bank. We are so happy that we chose to stay here and look forward to the next time we will have the... More

This place was awesome. We spent two nights here during Spring Break. The place was quiet, super clean and quite comfortable. My son loved the fire pits and picnic table out back which lead to some great conversation with other guests a few doors down. The owner was super nice and give us some great information about Townsend. One warning,... More

We stayed at the Bunkhouse Inn for a couple of days recently. The room was clean and decorated nicely. The owner was very friendly. Quiet and peaceful. Would stay again and highly recommend. All the rooms are decorated very nice and are quite large. Bathroom was clean but small. Especially like the fact that your pets are welcome.

The Bunkhouse Inn was perfect. My husband and I go to the Smokey Mountain National Park every summer and are always looking for fun hotels to stay at. This hotel was perfect. There are only a few rooms and each room is themed. Your back patio has a fire pit and overlooks the river. It is perfect if you are... More

We stayed at the Bunkhouse Inn to visit the Great Smoky Mountains. We had booked the Bear's Denn and we loved it from the moment we walked in. You have immediate access to the river from your room which is amazing. At night you can make a campfire and listen to the river, very romantic and relaxing. The room was... More

A friend and I stayed here on a roadtrip. We stayed in the Deer themed room. It had 2 beds, a fridge, microwave, table w/chairs and a small but adequate bathroom. We never met the people that run the place as we came after 7pm and left by 9:30/10am. They did answer a call when I overlooked the info about... More

My husband & I stayed at this adorable little inn last week. Staying here made our first trip to Tennessee an enjoyable one. Not only was it beautifully decorated (we stayed in the Bear Den), cozy with a comfortable King sized bed & perfect for what we needed, but Geno & Kellie made sure that we enjoyed our stay. They...
