 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, Pétionville, 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.
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, Pétionville, 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. 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. |
