Hi, I’m Ames! A Western North Carolina native with deep roots in the mountains I call home. I’ve been in the vacation rental industry for 8 years and am the proud owner of DeVore Property Management, specializing in creating memorable stays for travelers across WNC.
Beyond hospitality, I’m Ma to an adventurous, curly-haired 8-year-old, two independent felines, and a thriving collection of 50+ houseplants (yes, I have a slight obsession!). I love café motorcycles, outdoor adventures, desert road trips, and anything houseplant-related.
Hosting is more than just a business for me—it’s about curating experiences that make guests feel welcome and comfortable. Whether you're here for a weekend getaway or an extended stay, I strive to create thoughtfully designed, inviting spaces that reflect the beauty and charm of WNC.
I look forward to hosting you and sharing a little piece of these mountains I love!
