The Smoky Mountain Mansion - the perfect place for you to stay in Western North Carolina.

The Inn at Half-Mile Farm.... Where Simplicity is Luxury

Casual and beautifully maintained, the Folkestone is filled with old-fashioned charm and modern amenities. The Inn offers three floors of guest rooms each with a distinct personality and thoughtfully decorated by the owners — from upstairs rooms with private balconies and mountain vistas, to romantic ground floor rooms with flagstone floors and low pressed-tin ceilings. The innkeepers have anticipated your every need. Even after that hearty breakfast, you can enjoy snacks and drinks all day. There’s a microwave and a refrigerator for your use; wireless internet; a well-stocked game room; and maps and local books to help you plan your stay.

West Oak offers visitors a unique variety of lodging options in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. There is a bed and breakfast in a log home, five historic cabins, and one vacation rental – a newly built mountaintop house. The bed and breakfast has four tastefully decorated guestrooms, which can be rented individually, or you can rent the entire house for your family or group. There are two rooms, which can be combined as a suite with living/dining room and private deck. The cabins are uniquely different and just as charming. One is a 100- year-old log cabin; and several 1940s-era cabins were relocated from the Fontana Dam Village and fully restored with kitchenettes. We have three, 3-bedroom vacation rentals high on forested ridges with great views – secluded, yet close to Bryson City. Whatever you are looking for Smoky Mountain lodging for your family, group or just a private getaway, West Oak has a mountain vacation rental that’s just perfect for relaxation and fun.

Retreat to an "American castle" built in the 1940's where you will be treated like royalty.
