About the host
Hosted by Kim Brown
I am a retired teacher and mother of 2 college aged children. Both are college athletes. We have traveled across the country and stayed in many VRBO/HomeAway properties. After retiring I decided to remodel some family properties and list them on the site. I manage three properties on VRBO; they are located in Taylorsville, Boone, and Mooresville. I also have an antique booth and have enjoyed picking up treasures while traveling for both my booth and my properties. Therefore you will see many items that I have picked while traveling to furnish these homes.
Why they chose this property
If you are specifically traveling to the Taylorsville area you will find it hard to locate a place to stay while visiting. Most visitors must stay in Hickory, Statesville, Lenior or Wilkesboro and travel 20 - 30 minutes back and forth to Taylorsville. Therefore we decided to take this property off of the long term rental market, remodel it, and place it on the short term market and see how it goes.
What makes this property unique
Some of the unique things to come to Taylorsville for include mining at the Emerald Hollow Mine, rock climbing at Rocky Face Park (try the vertical mile challenge!), visit Shadowline Vineyards, go fishing on Lake Hickory, come for a 5K or one of the many town Apple Festivals!
