About the host
Hosted by Mike West
We’re a family from the Asheville, NC area who found our happy place right here on the lake. With a big family and busy lives, we wanted a space where we could slow down, reconnect, and make lasting memories—surrounded by water, nature, and room to breathe.
This home has been our gathering spot for celebrations, lazy weekends, and sunset conversations on the deck. We designed it with comfort, connection, and a little fun in mind—whether that’s grilling outside, playing a game of pool, or simply swaying in a hammock with a book.
Now, we’re excited to share that experience with you. Whether you’re here for family time, a weekend getaway, or an equestrian event nearby, we hope you feel the same peace and joy that we do each time we return.
