Smoky Mountain lodging in Bryson City North Carolina – on the quieter, less-commercial side of the Smokies

Bryson City is in the center of a vast outdoor playground. It's your very best location for Smoky Mountain lodging when you visit the Great Smoky Mountains of Western North Carolina.

And if you want your vacation to include a day in the Tennessee Smokies, Gatlinburg is only a short — and fabulously scenic — two hour drive away.

The Folkestone is surrounded by everything that's great about the North Carolina Smokies. There's hiking, waterfalls, trout fishing, and tubing in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, mountain biking on the famous Tsali trails, fishing on Fontana Lake, sightseeing on the Great Smoky Mountains Scenic Railroad and whitewater rafting on the Nantahala River. The Cherokee Indian Reservation is just ten miles away. There are two 18-hole mountain golf courses nearby, and the Biltmore Estate and Winery is just a little over an hour away, in nearby Asheville.

The house was beautiful, the rooms comfortable, the food outstanding and the adventures in the Smokies are never ending. This is agreeably for both of us the best vacation we have ever had. Thanks for your hospitality.
