Can't say enough good stuff about this B&B. Food is awesome. The convenience of the guest kitchen with snacks round the clock is great. The host and hostess are warm and helpful. We want to go back again.

We had a great time at the Folkestone Inn! It was a last minute trip for my birthday, and so glad we went! The Inn is lovely - open and airy. The room was comfortable and quiet. Just a relaxing time at the inn and so close to the park. Hope to be back soon!

What an absolutely ideal week! The home is beautiful- comfortable, quiet, fun. We take home memories of a hummingbird in flight, squirrels playing, tremendous breakfasts, a huge bubble bath, and a comfy, snuggly bed.

The atmosphere there was great. Such a change from the beaches of South Carolina. The calmness of this place was breathtaking. The mountains give the sense of peace and security. The birds, chipmunks, and squirrels set a playful, but not to playful mood.

We were so fortunate to be allowed to enjoy this beautiful "little corner of the world." We haven't been this relaxed in ages. The squirrels were great for entertaining us during breakfast. We are never staying in a "motel" again!

This was such a lovely place to "hide." It was so peaceful to wake up to birds and squirrels, instead of blaring horns and engines roaring. I enjoyed my 'claw tub' the most. I may come back just for a bath.

Thoughts of a grandmothers porch and swing, birds that feed in silence, a view that is breathtaking; all gave us a great 29th anniversary. This was our first B&B. It was great. We will see you again!

We had such a wonderful first time experience at a "B&B." The ambience here is lovely, inviting, and restful. The meals in the morning are something to jump out of bed for! :) We wish the inn much success and happiness.
