ABOUT
The Folkestone Inn A Bed & Breakfast Inn near Bryson City on the North Carolina side of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park welcomes you. This Smoky Mountain Bed and Breakfast is filled with old-fashioned charm (no TVs) but yet has most of the necessary modern amenities (private baths with clawfoot tubs with showers, free wi-fi, guest computer, CD players). Our Inn, we take pride in our bountiful gourmet breakfasts. We use real eggs, dairy, breakfast meats and sugar. We can leave things off your plate but we cannot accommodate "special diets" or make substitutions or change the menu. Our menus are prepared a week in advance and provisions are procured in advance according to the menu. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKING ANYWHERE ON THE PROPERTY. The Folkestone Inn offers exceptional accommodations with ten guest rooms on three floors. All have private baths with old-fashioned clawfoot tub with shower; hair dryers, herbal soaps, shampoos, and bubble bath. We offer two forms of air conditioning - central air with in-room independent controls, or cool mountain breezes and slowly turning ceiling fans. In some rooms, a Celeste fireplace provides the ambiance of a gently flickering fire. Each upstairs room has a private balcony, and each main floor room has a porch or private deck. Of course, all guests enjoy the quiet, seating areas scattered around the grounds, especially the swing and the hammock - perfect for napping. The front porch is a popular spot for socializing or reading a favorite book. Check our Things to Do Page for area activities.
