About the host
Hosted by Darlene Witham or Ron Mashburn
The owners were so excited to get transferred by their company to the wonder of the Blue Ridge Mountains over ten years ago. They started their family while living at Royal Cottage and enjoyed mountain biking, hiking, and the fabulous mild weather.
But, as careers go another transfer took them away from their treasured home. In order to preserve the house in order to return one day, they have decided to share it with vacation guests. Please make our home your home until we return someday.
