Smithmore Castle

The Great Room is a magnificent blend of grandeur and historical charm. Its marble floors gleam under the soft glow of multiple crystal chandeliers, casting an enchanting light across the expansive space. Walls adorned with medieval tapestries depict scenes of chivalry and courtly life, adding a rich sense of history and texture to the room. Dominating the Great Room is a three-story granite fireplace, an architectural marvel that serves as both a focal point and a cozy gathering place.

The courtyard is a serene and elegant sanctuary, featuring a stunning fountain at its center, whose cascading waters create a soothing symphony that complements the tranquil atmosphere. Surrounding the fountain, vibrant flowers. Graceful statues stand amidst the blooms, adding a touch of timeless charm. The courtyard offers breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, with rolling hills and dense forests stretching out as far as the eye can see, providing a picturesque and serene backdrop.

The balcony offers an unparalleled vantage point, perched at an elevation of 4,000 feet. From this lofty perch, guests are treated to breathtaking panoramic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, including the majestic Mount Mitchell, the highest peak in the eastern United States. The balcony also overlooks the Eastern Continental Divide, where waters flow to both the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. Additionally, the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway can be seen winding through the landscape.
