About the host

Hosted by Kelly Clay

Host profile image
Jonathan and Kelly Clay have been married since 1997 and have three wonderful children. They have been long-time renters of a wide variety of properties across the U.S on VRBO. They love the additional space that is afforded by renting through VRBO rentals, as well as the varied locations that are available that typical hotel chains do not serve. However, they believed that in many cases, the properties just did not meet their expectations of what was provided by a "Five Star" hotel or resort. As Jonathan and Kelly own a construction management firm, The Blue River Group that concentrates its efforts in the commercial technology sector operating nationwide, and Kelly operates an interior design company, Cloverleaf Lane Designs, they believed they could bring their experiences to the vacation rental market and create a brand of properties that would provide an exceptional experience for the clients that chose to retreat to their properties. In doing so, a new entity, Blue Dresden was born to bring properties they love to you...their clients!

Why they chose this property

This, its first property, Fern Hollow Cottage is the outcome of that desire to provide clients with a unsurpassed retreat. We have developed it to accommodate two families with children, an extended family, or a small group to be able to come to western North Carolina (specifically the Cashiers - Highland plateau) and enjoy all of the amenities that the Sapphire Valley Association has to provide as well as larger sounding area of Jackson County, NC. It is a peaceful, amazing location complete with lakes, waterfalls, and wonderful temperatures year round. Fern Hollow Cottage has wonderful beds (great mattresses), quality linens and bedding, a large | open chefs kitchen and relaxing decks where you can always hear the stream running that is immediately adjacent the house. Smart Home Technology in the house allows you to keep up to date if you need to, but also allows you tune out and enjoy nature if you want. Energy efficient and allergen reducing climate control systems have been installed to ensure that all of the home's environments run at the optimum level to ensure our guests comfort as well as safety when it comes to outside filtration and air exchanges within the home. So, Sit Back and Relax! As we say, you'll be glad that you selected us to #RetreatToFernHollow!
