I've been visiting the Smokies since I was a little girl. What started as childhood wonder, I wanted to turn into a legacy. The Smokies have always been part of my story — and now I'm building a place for others to write theirs.

The Heart Behind the Highlights
Every local has their origin story. Here's how a little girl with muddy boots became your Mountain Mama.
I grew up going to the Smoky Mountains to visit my Mamaw and Papaw — it was our own version of Disney World. A place that felt like magic, filled with front porch swings, mountain air, and memories that shaped me. When I met my husband, it didn't take long before I brought him here — and he fell in love with it too.
Placing a down payment on our first cabin was the biggest leap we'd ever taken — and yet, it felt like the most natural one. This land had been etched into my heart by generations before me, and now it was time to build something for the ones coming after.
What began as a childhood tradition has turned into a family legacy — rooted in faith, awe, and a deep love for these mountains. My goal: help others make memories and write the stories because of these mountains — in the fullest capacity possible.
"God looks at the earth and it trembles, He touches the mountains and they smoke."
