About the host

Hosted by Mark

Host profile image

I was fortunate to retire early and explore the mountains of Western North Carolina. Living in Florida most of my life I was always a fan of the mountains. I lived here several years before I realized that the Appalachian Trail was above the property. My niece came to visit and we hiked up the north side of Riddle Branch and before we knew it we were on the trail. Riddle Branch Cabin sits at 3700' and the trail is 5000' plus. I joined the Appalachian Trail Conservancy and am a member of the Carolina Mountain Club. I currently am a Trail Maintainer and manage a 3.6-mile section behind the property from Little Bald Mountain south to Big Bald Mountain. My section also includes a shelter, privy, and two water sources.

Why they chose this property

When I first started looking for mountain property in North Carolina I had a wish list of 10 items. Riddle Branch had 14! The pluses were the view and acreage. I also did not expect to be so close to the Appalachian Trail or have several springs on the property. I enjoy walking down to the end of the driveway and listening to the sounds of Riddle Branch. There is something to say about rippling water cascading over the boulders and rocks. My family and friends have enjoyed Riddle Branch Cabin, mountain air, and the sounds of nature. Come visit and enjoy!

What makes this property unique

Riddle Branch Cabin is the perfect spot to unwind and unplug. You may hear some roosters or donkeys from the valley below but mostly it will be just the wind and birds. There are no coffee bars nearby or exciting night life...other than nature itself! I enjoy watching the deer. The chipmunks will forage for acorns while the birds swoop down and pester them into their burrows. You can relax in the spa, listen to music, and appreciate nature's entertainment. Please note that due to our mountain remoteness our gravel driveway does require an AWD vehicle
