My husband George and I purchased this lovely farmhouse in 2014 after falling in love with the Smoky Mountains. I go by Shelby, and sharing this special place with our guests truly brings me joy.
I grew up on 40 acres in Pennsylvania before moving to South Florida in the 80s, and I now call St. Augustine, Florida home. Nature has always been part of my story â from open fields and horses to mountain trails and campfires.
George is a retired Agricultural Deputy and a devoted dog dad to our two Vizslas, Rip and Whiskey. Iâm also the proud human to Cleo, my sweet (and slightly opinionated) cat. We both love the outdoors, camping, and spending time with our horses â and the Smokies feel like a second home to us.
When Iâm not in North Carolina, I work full time as a realtor in Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia. I love travel and adventure, but I equally cherish slow evenings with a good book, beautifully prepared food (whether in an elegant restaurant or somewhere delightfully unexpected), and music of all kinds â country, jazz, blues, classical, and old rock. I also appreciate a finely crafted cocktail â always top shelf.
We feel incredibly grateful to have a home in the mountains and are honored to share the peace, beauty, and adventure of this special place with you.
