About the host
Your host
I am Mary Gayle, I go by my double name (tho’ nobody seems to want to use it). I grew up at Green Hill, went to college, married my high school sweetheart, had 2 beautiful daughters and lived not far away. I inherited my home when my parents died and I now spend much time “keeping up the place”. I enjoy entertaining and making my home welcoming and comfortable for my family and guests.
My husband and I are both retired from teaching. We travel a great deal and just returned from France in June. My mother said I should have been named Mary Go.
I hope you enjoy our guest cottage and property as much as we do.

Why they chose this property
My guests say they enjoy the song birds in the morning, the quiet rural setting and the relaxing atmosphere. For me, the mountain, High Peak. Is the highlight.
What makes this property unique
Green Hill is not far from civilization! You will note in the description the attractions nearby. You can enjoy pretty drives to wineries, breweries, historic attractions, mountain scenery such as the Blue Ridge Parkway.
