Folkestone Inn - Bryson City

Boutique bed and breakfast in the Smoky Mountains with farm-to-table dining and themed rooms

Farm-to-Table Dining & Cooking Classes

Folkestone Inn Bryson City serves breakfasts made with eggs from chickens on the property, home-cured bacon, and produce from the on-site garden. Chef Scott leads cooking classes that teach guests to prepare dishes using these local ingredients. The daily breakfast menu changes and includes dishes like lemon pancakes with blueberry compote and house-made sausage.

Adults-Only Accommodations with Themed Rooms

The Folkestone Inn B&B offers ten guest rooms, each with a private bathroom and a distinct theme based on local recreation - for example, the Boats and Paddles room or the Stems and Petals room. Every room has a balcony or patio, and there are no televisions in the rooms. The inn is adults-only, providing a quiet environment for couples and solo travelers.

Outdoor Spaces and Wildlife

The Folkestone Inn North Carolina sits on landscaped grounds with a garden, outdoor fire pit, and a picnic area overlooking a pasture with horses and cows. Guests can watch the inn's free-range chickens and a resident outdoor cat named Cherry. A small creek and a bridge add to the pastoral setting, and the front porch offers mountain views.
