About the host

Hosted by Kate Bowman

Host profile image
My name is Kate and my husband Trevor and I live in Miami. We travel to North Carolina a few times a year to get away from the crazy city we live in. We bought The Blue Door in 2025. We fell in love with Franklin and are so excited to share our home with you. We love hiking and being surrounded by nature. We wish we could come more often but when we can't, we live vicariously through our guests.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it is quiet, cozy, and the sunsets stole out hearts. The mountain views are a dream come true!

What makes this property unique

The mountain and sunset views stole our hearts. We hope we have created a cozy vacation home for all of our guests.
