About the host
Hosted by Tucker Ennis

We are Tucker and Sarah Beth Ennis. Tucker grew up playing in the waterfalls around Highlands. Now we live a few hours east but we have been making visits to Highlands as often as we can. The area became even more special to us when we brought our kids here and we dreamed of finding our own place. We were thrilled when we found this house and are so excited to continue sharing this magical place with others!
