About the host
Hosted by Ruth and Garry Bragg, 422 Shadowlands Rental
We live in Florida, but love the NC mountains. Our parents had a home in Blowing Rock for many years and taught us to love the mountain.
Why they chose this property
We loved the views and seclusion of the property. We wanted to be in a gated community where we knew all the neighbors would keep their property looking attractive and well kept.
