History and location
In 2008, Rob Smith stated he purchased and renovated the formerly "Castle Inn" with his family and renamed it with his last name with consideration for the property's "idyllic" surroundings. Eventually, in 2017, Smith opened it for events and listed it on Vrbo and Airbnb by 2019 as they remarked that they "loved" the property and liked accommodating people on the castle. Smithmore is a working hotel with a restaurant and offers private dining occasions located in Spruce Pine through a "steep" drive in English Knob. The 121-acre private mountain estate Smithmore Castle, also known as the "Castle in the Sky", is found in the ranges of the Blue Ridge Mountains and was called a "perfect place" to establish an atmosphere for a "medieval-inspiration" shoot. The castle first attracted a national spotlight after a tailored, Game of Thrones-themed wedding shoot at the 12,000-square-foot mansion.
