Our family loves to travel, and we've been known for some extensive itineraries; however, we always love coming to the NC mountains every year for the last 40+ years, so we decided to put down some roots with this second home. Our children are getting older & have travel sports commitments, so we are sharing our home with you when we can't use it.
★Make sure to click on the “View More About Ruth Sanders” & then “Location Activities" section too - more fun activities than it will even let us list in the area!
