Upstairs rooms have private balconies with vistas of the Great Smoky Mountains, while ground floor rooms offer the romantic charm of flagstone floors and pressed-tin ceilings. Breakfast varies from day to day, and may include eggs benedict, corn fritters, french toast stuffed with bananas and walnuts, apple brown betty or pecan waffles. 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. In the park, you can walk to three parkling waterfalls, go trout fishing, hiking, and horseback riding. You can go whitewater tubing on Deep Creek or drive the Road to Nowhere.
All rooms have private baths and balconies as well as air-conditioning.
Cozy up to the large fireplace in the great room. Grab a book, play cards, a board game or work a puzzle in the library. Rock on your private balcony and listen to the brook. Enjoy a lawn game while grilling out at the picnic area. As evening approaches, sit by the waterfall and watch the trout in the pond leap to feed.
