The story of Goldilocks' Haven began in August of 2004, but in reality, it goes back even FURTHER than that! Let's just say, it has been a multi generational story, going back to Paula'a grandparents, who honeymoooned in G'burg, taking in the beauty of the GSMNP in its most original essence, back in 1935, and came for 50 years STRAIGHT, eventually bringing along their own family, and then Paula's parents bringing her+siblings, and then we had the crazy idea, to continue that same passion that they had developed in Paula, with our own daughter, making the 4th generation.
You see , it's not just the sweet memories of coming with grandparents & parents that has made this area, the GSMNP so special, but it's the BEAUTY, the TRANQUILITY that takes us away from the concrete jungle EVERT TIME we hit the parkway taking us into G'burg. It's the moments we've spent skipping rocks w/ our daughter, the lunches on big boulders on the river at the Chimney tops picnic area, the peacefulness of Cades Cove that takes us back to the original settlers of the area and how simple their lives were ( yet required hard work and hard times, as evidenced by the many young lives noted on cemetery headstones) and the BEAUTY they took in EVERY single day, living in these mountains that continue to call us HOME! They were ON to something contagious and these mountains have captured our hearts and souls, not to mention the people of today- welcoming, genuine, real and offering a part of themselves to US as we only know in part, what many of their family have known for GENERATIONS..the MOUNTAINS are calling, and I must GO~John Muir
GH has been thoughtfully deisgned by our own hands, over our 20yrs, prior to John's Homegoing in November 2023. As I continue to carry GH forward, we hope you and your guests will create memories to carry your family and friends throughout the generations.
With our family of 3, ALL blonde hair, it is only natural to be Goldilocks Haven - Just Right!
