About the host
Hosted by Koble Delmer
Welcome to Flat Mountain Farm, a historic rhododendron farm located 2 miles from the charming hamlet of Highlands, NC. Chris & Margaret Shutze moved to Highlands with their two young boys in December of 2019. They purchased the property from an eighth generation Highlander who had created a magical, rustic paradise over 40 years. Even though it was run down and in need of repair, they saw huge potential in the antique log cabins & barns. Fast forward to 2025, when the Delmer Family purchased the property and are continuing to run it as a vacation rental property and wedding and event space.
