Wynnewood, also known as Castalian Springs and located in Castalian Springs, Sumner County, Tennessee, is the largest existing log structure in Tennessee. It is a National Historic Landmark.

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 was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. It was further declared a National Historic Landmark, later in 1971.citation|title=PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Text/71000838.pdf National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: _____] |32 KB|date=, 19 |author=___NPS PDF FOCUS WEBSITE DOWN 6.29.08 ADD LATER____ |publisher=National Park Service and PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Photos/71000838.pdf "Accompanying ____ photos, exterior and interior, from 19___"] |32 KB]
