About the host
Hosted by Jan Lee
My husband and I both grew up in the Brevard area. After living in other places we found ourselves returning on weekends to our mountain cabin in Lake Toxaway. We finally decided that we'd prefer to be closer the the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains and relocated to the Brevard area. We both love all the hiking opportunities in Panther Town, Gorges, Bad Creek and many other trails in the Pisgah National Forest. Fly fishing is my husband's favorite activity . He and our grandson can often be found trying their luck in one of our local streams .
I've been a potter for years and am a member of The Southern Highland Craft Guild. .

Why they chose this property
We were lucky to be able to purchase this house with thoughts of using it as our winter residence. Living several miles out in the county we often experience winter weather that can prohibit travel into Brevard. This is the ideal location for us. My husband can walk to his office and I enjoy being closer to friends and activities that are in town.
What makes this property unique
Our house is so peaceful with it's huge backyard and lovely interior. We spent a year on the renovations and tried to kept the look true to the original character of the original house . When we cleaned out the attic for renovations we discovered a lot of papers and letters with interesting facts about the family who built the cottage
Our house is all on the same level. It is open and airy with lots of light from the many windows and skylights. The kitchen is open to the living ,dining area and is great for staying involved with guests while preparing a meal. Open the screened porch with it's double doors and pull down the sun screen for shade and privacy. This lets in fresh air and bird songs in early morning.
After breakfast take a morning walk around the neighborhood to Silvermont ,the nearby Visitors Center or our wonderful library. You can checkout the nearby community garden if you like and talk to some of our locals about the vegetables they are growing and visit our tailgate market on Saturday mornings. There's always so much to do in Brevard!
