About the host
Hosted by Dale Bollinger and Rocio Bollinger
I am a life long Bladen County resident. I love building, nature, wildlife, reading and fishing. I spend my life with my beautiful wife Chio and my daughter Amanda Belle.
Why they chose this property
I always enjoyed nature and building. I helped the original owners building this cabin and always loved it because of the awesome view of the river from the living area and the main decking.
What makes this property unique
The view of the river is just amazing. Waking up early and watching the fog on the river and sunrise with a hot cup of coffee while hearing all the birds singing and announcing the new day has no price.
