Folkestone Inn, Bryson City, North Carolina
Whether you're in search of a quiet romantic weekend or an action-packed two-week vacation, you'll be richly rewarded when you visit the Folkestone Inn. The Folkestone is nestled in a grove of giant Norway Spruces, beside a mountain brook near the Deep Creek entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, just two miles north of Bryson City. Originally a mountain farmhouse, the Folkestone has been a bed and breakfast inn for the past two decades. Its innkeepers have thoughtfully preserved the warmth and character of the homeplace. We offer ten comfortably furnished guest rooms, each with a distinct personality -- from upstairs room with private balconies and mountain vistas, to romantic ground floor rooms with flagstone floors and pressed tin ceilings. Each room has a private bath where you can relax in a claw foot tub or enjoy a hot shower. All rooms are tastefully decorated with period furnishings and mountain memorabilia. And individually-controlled central air conditioning is available if desired. The inn -- and its bountiful breakfasts -- is popular with people who come to Swain County for its many outdoor treasures...particularly the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the Tsali Bike Trails and whitewater rafting on the Nantahala River, just twenty five minutes from the inn.
