About the host

Host profile image
I fell in love with NC when my husband to be first brought me to Franklin in 1982 to meet his mother and extended family. Since then, I have learned much about my mother-in-law's connection to the area, including the fact that her father's family were among the first white settlers to Franklin. Our family has strong ties to the area, even though we are not permanent residents. I always look forward to my stays at Buttercup Haven and especially enjoy sharing my home with family, friends, and guests.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with this property because of its unique location, its beauty, the tranquility of the outdoors, and the magnificent views from every room. The post and beam home has been built with amazing care and attention to detail. Since I purchased Buttercup Haven in late 2012, new furnishings have been added throughout the home.

In recent years, the exterior has been updated with a new color palette, the addition of entry gates, and annual updates to the landscaping, making the yard today a haven for butterflies as well as humans! Additional seating has been added to the outdoor areas.

Buttercup Haven is a home that I personally enjoy with family and friends, as well as a growing number of returning guests.

Come see for yourself why Buttercup Haven is a special place.
