About the host

Hosted by Nancy Horst

Host profile image
We have lived in many places in our 35+ years of military life. Karl grew up with mountains surrounding his hometown and Nancy grew up on flat desert lands of West Texas. Our assignments took us to North Carolina five different times and our children call it "home". We now live in Florida and miss the four seasons of North Carolina.

Why they chose this property

We were looking for a reprieve from the oppressive heat and humidity of Florida in the summer months. We began our search for cooler weather and had always loved the mountains of North Carolina. We wanted a place with mountain views, a big porch, enough bedrooms & bathrooms to accommodate our large growing family, and a place to share with other families.

What makes this property unique

This home is a mountain vacation dream, a stunning log home nestled close to the top of Bench Mountain in beautiful Cowee Valley. Surrounded by nature gives one a sense of tranquility. "THIS IS OUR HAPPY PLACE!"
