About the host

Host profile image
Hi there! I’m from Orlando, Florida, and this beautiful home in North Wilkesboro is our family’s second home. We don’t treat this as a business venture—we truly see it as an opportunity to share a special place with others. This house holds so much history and peace, and we’ve poured love into every corner. It brings us joy when guests can relax here, make memories, and enjoy the same charm and beauty that drew us in. Welcome!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Wilkes County because it offers the best of both worlds—the beauty of the nearby Blue Ridge Mountains and the peaceful charm of the valley. There’s something magical about waking up to mountain views but feeling grounded in a friendly, quiet town full of history and character. The neighborhood is calm, welcoming, and feels like a step back in time in the best way. It’s the kind of place where you can truly slow down, breathe fresh air, and enjoy nature, while still being close to hiking, fishing, and great local spots downtown.

What makes this property unique

What makes our home truly unique is its rich history and preserved charm. Built over 110 years ago, it was originally owned by a local doctor and later by Southern author Guy Owen, best known for The Flim-Flam Man. We've carefully kept its original wood floors, doors, knobs, and layout, so you feel the character of the home as soon as you walk in. It’s not just a rental—it’s our family’s second home, filled with love, personal touches, and a deep respect for its past. Add to that the stunning views of the Blue Ridge Mountains from the upstairs bedroom, the peaceful half-acre lot, and the upscale, walkable neighborhood—and you’ll quickly see why this home stands out.
