Folkestone Inn, Asheville

Originally a 1920s mountain farmhouse, the Folkestone Inn has been a bed and breakfast for the past three decades. The innkeepers have created an immediately comfortable atmosphere — from the broad front porch looking toward the mountains, to the thoughtful snacks and drinks available all day, the helpful reference library and the tastefully decorated guestrooms with comfy beds and special touches like robes, CD players and hairdryers. There is even a laptop in the library for guest use as well as complimentary wireless internet.

There are shady spots for watching the light change over the mountains, garden spots for watching the birds and butterflies, and romantic spots for viewing the stars at night.

In our NC Mountains bed and breakfast, you'll find parlors and porches to gather with other guests. You'll find privacy for reading — or writing — your book. And before you know it, you'll find that carefree Smoky Mountains state of mind.

After indulging yourself with a long bubble bath in your clawfoot tub, curl up in one of our comfy robes and relax to soothing sounds from the CD player in your room. Plan tomorrow's activities using the in-room activities notebook and copy of "Day Hikes of the Smokies" - yours to enjoy while you are staying with us.

The Folkestone Inn offers exceptional Smokey Mountain lodging 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.
