We brought the entire family (11 people) to visit the Fall Festival at the John C. Campbell Folk School. The event was wonderful as always. The house was also great! There were ample sleeping spaces for all 11 of us (8 adults, 1 teen, 2 kids). The house was very clean and well furnished. As a flatlander, I didn't think about all the stairs that would be involved in this type of mountain house, but once we got our older family members inside and settled on the main floor, they enjoyed staying there. The porch on the mail floor was the hub of all the activity. Be aware that the only dining table is on that porch. We bundled up and ate out there for all of our meals together. Being there in the fall, we didn't get to use the lake, but we did enjoy the changing leaves and the quiet of nature. Mary Francis, the owner, was very responsive to all my questions. You will enjoy your stay.
