About the host

Hosted by Carl W Dornan

Host profile image
We are a family of 5; 2 adults, 2 children, and one dog. Like most, we are busy with work, school, home, and multiple activities. But when we can, we escape to the mountains. We love to explore waterfalls, mountain bike, or hike, and enjoy new places to eat and drink.

Why they chose this property

Location, Location, Location! The Breakaway Bungalow provides us with so much. It's in a private location surrounded by trees where we can instantly unwind but our favorite places are at our finger tips (We are talking Black Mountain, Mount Mitchell, Asheville, Brevard). There are plenty of restaurants, breweries, and wineries within a short drive, as well as quick access to the Blue Ridge Parkway, with amazing waterfall hikes and bike trails nearby.
