About the host
Hosted by Diane Cogswell
I'm Diane, I live in Franklin, NC. I'm a Project Manager for a software team. In my free time I enjoy painting and hiking in the area. I’ve been a host for over 2 years and with over 100 5 star reviews I strive to have a place that you can to call your home away from home.
Why they chose this property
As I traveled to visit my son in Southern Pines, NC, I would drive through the mountains and just knew one day I would live here. I love the mountains and I'm so blessed to call it home.
What makes this property unique
Escape to a peaceful mountain retreat where the soothing sound of a flowing creek fills the air year-round. This spacious getaway is perfect for large groups, featuring two separate living areas that provide both privacy and comfort. With two expansive decks, you can soak in the fresh mountain air, enjoy your morning coffee, or gather for an evening under the stars. Whether you’re looking to relax or explore the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this home offers the perfect balance of tranquility and space for unforgettable memories.
