About the host

Hosted by Mark Yarbrough

Host profile image
Back in 2014 my life perspective changed when it was determined I needed a heart transplant. I reevaluated my life and decided I didn't want to spend the rest of my time sitting behind a computer. I had one vacation rental in Hilton Head and decided it really fit the lifestyle I wanted. I began getting more vacation rentals in areas I'd like to go and live. The plan was to move around and go live in each one for a few months at a time. That part hasn't worked out yet, but In January of 2021 I received my gift of life. Since then I've been all in on vacation rentals and one day I'll be able to do that.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with FernHollow the first time I saw it. It was exactly what I was looking for and everyone said didn't exist... it is a true unicorn. It's a well maintained log cabin that wasn't a fixer upper on a stocked trout stream with a second creek lot and 30 acres at a price I could afford and 2 hours from my house.
FernHollow is great because it is relatively close and easy to get to, yet very private. Its not some cabin community with neighbors right next door. There are some cabins around, but there's enough space that you feel a million miles from everyone... plus a state supported trout stream is nice too.

What makes this property unique

FernHollow is not like any other cabin I found. It sits on 30 acres and is surrounded on 3 sides by National Forest Land on a flowing creek. This kind of privacy with easy access from a paved road is not something you find often. 2 hours from Atlanta, Asheville, and Chattanooga and only 11 miles from Murphy make it convenient from a lot of places while seeming remote.
