About the host
Hosted by Hal and Margie Kluttz
Bear Wallow Creekside Retreat is owned and operated by Hal and Margie Kluttz from Lincolnton, NC. Hal is a retired Police Detective Lieutenant and Margie is the retired President of Harper Corporation of America, a manufacturing business that reconditions printing cylinders. Hal's mother was born and raised in the NC Mountains and Hal has been coming to Ashe County all his life.
Why they chose this property
Hal and Margie have been spending time in Ashe County since they were married over (30) years ago. They fell in love with the cabins along the peaceful shores of the Big Horse Creek. They love the people, the peace and tranquility of the rustic setting, and the small town mountain flavor, the pace really slows down when you spend time at this lovely place.
What makes this property unique
Spending the summer nights listening to the water flow down the creek and feeling the cool mountain air from our open bedroom window was relaxing beyond description. There is just so much to see and do in Ashe County. This became our home away from home.
