About the host
Hosted by Chris Powell
Chris is from Colorado and moved to North Carolina not long ago. I feel in love with the area and so thankfully to call this area home. Growing up I played with horses and did anything outside.
My husband and I have worked very hard to have a little piece of paradise. Which we are glad to share with you. We have two young adventurous boys who love the outdoor life as much as we do.
We hope you find out little getaway as enjoyable as we do.
