General Information

More than a bed and breakfast, Historic Mountain Farm, world renown full service Country Inn, on the National Register of Historic Places, a Member of The Select Registry — with a significant variety of inn guest rooms, private getaway cottages, cabins, fine dining and great wines, organic gardens, and unique gifts, all at the inn, nestled in the mountains of the Western North Carolina High Country — and a gourmet farm breakfast every morning.
year built:
The Mast farm dates from the late 1700s, when Joseph Mast traveled to the mountains from Randolph County, North Carolina, where he was born in 1764. His father John had settled there after emigrating from Switzerland via Pennsylvania, where his brother remained. Joseph is said to have traded his rifle, his dog, and a pair of leggings for 1000 acres of fertile Watauga River Valley land. The first house, a two-room log cabin, was built around 1810 and remains today as the oldest inhabitable log cabin in Watauga County.
The farm and family prospered through the 19th Century, and Finley and Josephine Mast built the first part of the farmhouse in the 1880s. Around the turn of the century, the Masts began offering meals and rooms to tourists, enlarging the house to accommodate the growing number of guests. By 1915, the inn had 13 bedrooms and one bath. It was called "the Mast Farm" or simply "Aunt Josie's and Uncle Finley's."
The Mast Farm Inn is a mountain inn and restaurant, in the Valle Crucis Historical District of Watauga County, North Carolina, which has been welcoming guests since the 1800s. While there have been extensive historically accurate renovations and improvements — tubs-for-two, air conditioning, contemporary cuisine and fine wines — the hospitality remains rural mountain, traditional, attentive and sincere. Come make yourself at home in your choice of rooms, cottages or cabins. The Mast Farm Inn is in a serene rural valley surrounded by mountains, rivers and streams, within minutes from Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, Beech Mountain, Sugar Mountain, Linville, Boone, Grandfather Mountain, and The Blue Ridge Parkway, in the Western North Carolina High Country.

room types:
The third floor rooms tend to be quieter and more removed from the daily life of the inn, and there is a small parlor shared by the 3 rooms on the the 3rd floor. The second floor rooms are closer to the restaurant, parlor and inn lobby, and as such closer to the daily life at the Inn. Each Room, Cottage and Cabin at The Mast Farm Inn is truly unique, each is decorated differently, some are in the thick of the Inn's life, some are near the country road, some are secluded in the woods.

The Loom House, Blacksmith Shop and Woodwork Shop along with the Barn are the oldest historical buildings of The Mast Farm Inn and are located in the central area of the property. The Loom house is often distinguished as the oldest inhabitable log cabin in North Carolina. They are a few feet from the main farmhouse and restaurant, close to Broadstone Road, a relatively quiet country lane, except in highest season where traffic can conceivably be an issue for guests who require more seclusion, who like to sleep very early or wake very late. Gazebo Cottage, Maple Spring Cottage, and Raspberry Hill Cabin are tucked in the pine forest hill of the Inn and offer a very quiet, serene, private mountain forest atmosphere. The Granary is across Broadstone Road adjacent to the Historic Mast Farm Inn Barn, and is very private, yet half-remote, and half-in-the-middle of things. All offer a special private rustic parking area for guests who prefer to drive rather than walk to and from the various areas of the property. The Loom House, Blacksmith Shop and Woodwork Shop are authentic historical structures renovated inside to provide modern amenities while retaining outside their authentic farm yard character. Although they preceded the main house by many decades they are in some respect now outbuildings of the main farm house and located in its farmyard. Gazebo Cottage, Maple Spring Cottage, and Raspberry Hill Cabin and The Granary while rustic North Carolina are more modern constructions with modern amenities.

innkeepers description:
After many generations being owned and managed by sisters, most recently Wanda and Kay, today we find sisters Sandra Deschamps Siano and Danielle Deschamps as Innkeepers. It certainly does seem that the Mast Farm Inn is destined to be cared for by sisters.
On February 1st 2006, eight members of The Deschamps, Russo & Siano Family relocated together to The Valle Crucis community. They Converged to Valle Crucis after having lived in Paris, London, Switzerland, Manhattan, Petionville, Coconut Grove & North Carolina, as they they had purchased The Mast Farm Inn from Wanda Hinshaw and Lyle Schoenfeldt, and The Taylor House Inn, also in Valle Crucis. The Deschamps have owned, since 1996, what used to be a historic girl's camp (Camp Glenlaurel) on The Blue Ridge Parkway at Gooch Gap in Little Switzerland. After twice-yearly visits and vacations in the area they decided to move here full-time. A very common occurrence with visitors to the region. To see why one needs only visit a few times.
On February 1st they took over ownership and management of the Inn and In April 2006 they began in-depth restorations-renovations of the inns and properties.
The new innkeepers of The Mast Farm Inn are sisters Sandra Deschamps Siano and Danielle Deschamps. Sandra & Danielle are of French-Italian-US heritage, were educated in Paris, Villars-sur-Ollon in Switzerland, London, Petionville, Manhattan and Miami, and speak 4 languages.
They receive help and support from Sandra's husband Gaetano Siano, who manages Accounting & IT, Marie-Henriette Deschamps, their mother who takes care of Administration, Food & Beverage, their publisher father, Henri Deschamps, who attends to building, restoration & organizational development, and last, but by no means least, from Sandra's son Nicolas Siano, all of three, manager of "odes to joy" and general glee.
Marie-Henriette's Brother Bernard Russo and his wife Tessa Siegel Russo, own and manage The Taylor House Inn.
The Deschamps, Russo & Siano family has also developed and launched Club Ferdinand and is in the process of preparing The Mast Farm Touring Club, also in Valle Crucis at 1644 Broadstone Road, for launch in May of 2007. They have a strong commitment towards the Inns, the Community, the Heritage, Legacy, Traditions and Values which have made The Mast Farm Inn, The Taylor House, Valle Crucis and the Western North Carolina High Country, a little bit of heaven.
