About the host

Hosted by Liddy Cole

Host profile image
My great grandparents bought this land in 1960 and built a house that has since been enjoyed by our family and many others. Inherited by us great grandchildren, and we continue the tradition of lovingly maintaining the house and grounds. We delight in the opportunity to share Fletcher House with you, and hope guests will experience the beauty and magic of this special property.

Why they chose this property

Prior to building the house, Ruby and Furman Fletcher would spend summers right down the road at the historic Pisgah View Ranch. They fell in love with the area, building their own home as soon as they were able. Actively participating in the building process, their personal touches--like the Davis Creek stones found around the property--are still evident to visitors today and show the love and hard work they put into creating this special place. Today, 5 generations of our family have made wonderful memories here and we hope you will too!

What makes this property unique

We love our mountain house for it's cozy and unique mid-century feel, and have really enjoyed the modern updates we have added (like our new kitchen appliances). The house is decorated with a mix of both vintage and modern furniture. It feels very "home-y" and not like a hotel, which sets us apart from the many "investor" rentals out there. Our property is very private, and although there are other homes nearby they are not visible from our property. A truly great place to relax and "get away from it all!"
