About the host
Hosted by Owner / Property Manager

This home belonged to my grandparents. They owned and operated a general store on one side and lived and raised my mother and her 2 siblings on the other side. The old store has been turned into an amazing game and social area.
I grew up roaming these mountains and am proud to have been raised in such a beautiful place. Every Sunday after church, we drove over the mountains and through the woods, to grandmothers house we went. My family has history in Shady Valley going back over 200 years. I could not stand the thought of this amazing place, just sitting there. My only sister died Jan 4th 2015 - my life crumbled. I retreated to the mountains. I was saved by renovating The Shady House. I poured my grief into every blister, splinter, debt, sweat and after a year, I feel I have worked enough to start enjoying life again. Now, it is important for me to show as many people as I can just how theraputic the mountains can be.

Over an acre of flat yard space offers a gaming net, fire pit, horse shoes, corn hole, and several tables, chairs and benches. The surrounding views of the joining three mountain ranges, add to the perfection of this unique property.
