About the host
Hosted by Pam Kuhl
Originally from Kentucky, my husband and I relocated to Florida for his career. We soon discovered the joy of escaping the summer heat with vacations in the mountains of North Carolina. After experiencing the vibrant fall colors and the beauty of spring blooms, we were hooked. Over time, we visited in every season and realized this place is truly wonderful year-round.
Mark is an avid outdoorsman who thrives on adventure, while I’m a wildlife enthusiast who loves hosting guests and sharing meaningful conversation around the fire. Our passion for serving the needy has taken us to many third-world countries, but we always return to the peace and beauty of North Carolina to rest and recharge.
