Great mountain getaway

We stayed at the old Stone Cottage for 4 nights to spend time together as a family. 2 adults and 2 college-age children. The house had everything you could need to get some down time in the mountains. Warm fireplace. Coffee and tea ready to be made. One trailhead is less than a mile away. 30 minutes into Asheville. Great communication.

This was the most thoughtfully, generously well-stocked place we've ever stayed! They seemed to have thought of everything a guest might need, plus so many charming, homey touches. It was a gorgeous drive to Chimney Rock State Park and Lure Lake, which were the highlights of our trip.

I retired from the Army in 1995. I spent my first eight years in the Airborne Infantry. I Became an Army Aviator in 1981. I flew helicopters until I retired in 1995. I flew a CH-47 Chinook helicopter in Desert Storm in 1990-1991. I've been a member of the Gerton Fire and Rescue Department for the past 20 years.

Sylvia and I have been married for 41 years. That's 287 years in dog years. Sylvia is a Georgia girl.

Why they chose this property

I was raised 21 miles down the road from Gerton. We would come to Gerton for visits when I was growing up. I always wanted to live in Gerton. Now I do.

What makes this property unique

I loved this property for many reasons. I can stand on my deck and view Bearwallow Mountain. Yes, bears do wallow there. It's just the most peaceful place to live. Great neighbors.
