About the host

Hosted by Lila Angel

Host profile image
Our primary residence is Beaufort, NC. We love the mountains, having lived in Western North Carolina for over 30 years. We travel extensively in the United States in our motorcoach.

Why they chose this property

Having lived in the Western North Carolina mountains most of our adult lives, we feel "at home" when we are here. We moved to Spruce Pine/Little Switzerland in 1997 and fell in love with this remote mountain village. Although we retired to coastal North Carolina, we know home is here on the mountain.

What makes this property unique

Continental Divide Retreat on Apple Mountain is a unique home located on the Eastern Continental Divide, which provides all the benefits of quiet solitude while being readily accessible to everyday needs.

It sits on Apple Mountain with a spectacular Western View of 30+ miles of fading mountain and valleys. Sunsets can range from spectacular on beautiful evenings, to quiet solitude as we sometimes float over the clouds in the mornings or in the clouds that sometimes obscure the mountain, but provide a feeling of being the only place in the world.
