About the host
Hosted by Monica Stevenson
Hello, I am a commercial and fine art photographer. I travel often for work--back and forth from Tryon and the Big Apple and beyond. Welcome to our lovely neighborhood!
Why they chose this property
The house and apartment are situated on a beautiful treed hillock about Harmon Field. From every window one can see leaves and the mountains behind. The feeling is one of serenity and privacy, yet the town is a 5 minute drive down the lane. I LOVE how quiet the property is. So conducive to sleep....
