Folkestone Inn Bed & Breakfast

Step off our front porch and into 75 years of history. The Folkestone Inn is just one-quarter mile from the Deep Creek entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which is celebrating its 75th birthday this year. Within five minutes you can be walking easy trails to three pristine waterfalls, fishing for mountain trout, or splashing down Deep Creek in an oversized inner tube.

Casual and beautifully maintained, the Folkestone is filled with old-fashioned charm and modern amenities. The Inn offers three floors of guest rooms each with a distinct personality and thoughtfully decorated by the owners — from upstairs rooms with private balconies and mountain vistas, to romantic ground floor rooms with flagstone floors and low pressed-tin ceilings.

The innkeepers have anticipated your every need. Even after that hearty breakfast, you can enjoy snacks and drinks all day. There’s a microwave and a refrigerator for your use; wireless internet; a well-stocked game room; and maps and local books to help you plan your stay.

Bryson City is just 60 miles west of Asheville on US-74 at the southern edge of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Nestled in a picturesque valley between the National Park and the Nantahala National Forest, Bryson City is the perfect setting for a mountain getaway - a quiet country town on the banks of a swift mountain river, surrounded by lush forests, rolling pastures and rugged mountain peaks.

The Folkestone Inn is one hour west of Asheville, just three hours from Atlanta and Charlotte, and two hours from Greenville, Knoxville and Chattanooga.

Rates range from $109 to $163 a night for two people, breakfast included. Enjoy Café Cartago coffee with specialties such as omelets with fresh vegetables from our organic garden, pancakes with fresh local blueberries, and French toast stuffed with bananas and walnuts. A light breakfast (fresh fruit, yogurt, cereal) is always available on request; and we can accommodate vegetarian diets or most food allergies with prior notice.
