Wynnewood, located in Castalian Springs, Sumner County, Tennessee, is the largest existing log structure in Tennessee. It was built in 1828 by A. R. Wynne, William Cage, and Stephen Roberts, to serve as a stagecoach inn for travelers between Nashville and Knoxville. In 1834, Wynne purchased his partners' shares in the property and moved into the inn with his family, where he resided until his death in 1893.

The building has since been placed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is open to the public and tours are available. On February 5, 2008, during the 2008 Super Tuesday tornado outbreak, Wynnewood suffered major damage to parts of the second story, roof, and trees on the property.
