Southwyck Farm Bed and Breakfast

Looking for a Bed and Breakfast near Hanging Rock State Park? Try Southwyck Farm Bed and Breakfast. In 1986, Diana Carl and her late husband, Captain Bob, designed and built a lovely country home with a magnificent view of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Lawsonville, North Carolina, near Hanging Rock State Park. They named it Southwyck Farm, after a home owned by their ancestors in England. Southwyck Farm has an ambiance of a New England gentleman's Farm. The furnishings are a mixture of 18th Century American, Oriental, and English antiques, enhanced by collections of waterfowl paintings and carvings. The home is adorned with Captain's memorabilia from his days as a Sandy Hook Harbor Pilot. Take a stroll on trails that roam 38 acres of rolling countryside, or fish in the well-stocked bass pond. Sit on the porch or patio with walled gardens and enjoy a snack, conversation, or read. Farm animals and Brittany Spaniels live on the farm. Deer often graze in the yard and eat from the persimmon trees. Enjoy a complimentary beverage while relaxing by the fireplace in the large living room or the cozy library, upstairs, which overlooks the woods and distant mountains. Relax with books, magazines, games, television, a CD player, and comfortable corners, just for daydreaming. Savor delicious gourmet food at Southwyck Farm. Your gourmet breakfast starts with seasonal fruit and juice. One of the specialties of the house is Citron French Toast with Vermont Maple Syrup.
