Carriage House on Cougar Mountain Private Studio Retreat-Close to Businesses

Hi there! I’m Lori, your host here at The Carriage House on Cougar Mountain. I’ve been a short-term rental host for over six years and am proud to have earned over 200 five-star reviews. Hosting is my passion, and I’m committed to creating a warm, welcoming, and memorable experience for every guest.

I live on the property with my elderly parents and my daughter, and I also host travel professionals in the main house. Outside of hosting, I work as a Personal Concierge, helping families prepare their homes for the selling market. And for a bit of fun, I enjoy music and dancing and I’m part of a line dance team! You might even spot me heading out in my favorite cowboy boots!

Having lived in this beautiful area most of my life, I’m familiar with all the best spots to explore, from scenic trails to local attractions. If you’d like recommendations or need help navigating, I’d be happy to share tips to make your stay even more enjoyable.

While I respect your privacy and give guests plenty of space, I’m always just a message away if you need anything. My goal is to ensure your stay is exceptional, and I’m here to help with any questions or concerns you may have.

Nestled on 1.3 acres of natural beauty on Cougar Mountain, the Carriage House is part of a cherished family home with a unique history.
