🛑 Guest Safety Tips:

Other things to note:
🐻 Black bears are occasionally spotted in Western North Carolina, adding to the area’s natural charm.
*Please note that firewood is not provided. Guests are kindly requested to bring their own wood if they plan to use the outdoor firepit.
*All our TVs are smart TVs, please bring your subscription logins.
*Lake & Nature Setting: Being right on the lake means you're surrounded by nature — which also means some outdoor bugs (spiders, wasps, etc.) are common, especially in summer and fall evenings. We have the property professionally treated monthly for pests, but a lakefront/nature setting will always have some insect activity outdoors. Bug spray is provided for your comfort — embrace the lake life!
*Basement Temperature: As a brick home, our lower level (basement) naturally stays cooler than the main floor — especially noticeable in summer months. We've provided space heaters in each downstairs bedroom/living space so you can adjust the temperature to your comfort level.

Hello there!
Thank you for visiting my host profile!
I grew up in India, a land of diverse languages, cultures, and terrain, and lived in the United States as a software engineer all my adult life working and traveling. I have been a wanderlust all my life. I enjoy traveling to new places, meeting new people, trying new cuisines, and experiencing different cultures.
It all changed when I became the mom of my beautiful twins. I turned from being a traveler to becoming a host recreating my travel experiences for family and friends at home.
Through the Airbnb hosting endeavor, I aim to provide the best possible experience to all visitors through excellent service and quality local recommendations! Nothing is more reassuring and calming than finding a place that feels like a second home on your travels.
My philosophy can be summed up in the ancient Sanskrit phrase “Athithi devo bhava” which has profound significance in Hindusim and India. Atithi is a guest who can visit us at any time. Devo Bhava means God-like. Thus, Atithi Devo Bhava indicates that we must consider our guests equivalent to God and care for them.
Feel free to book or message me first; I am friendly, outgoing, and happy to answer any specific questions in advance.
I am a well-traveled guest who knows what hosts should do to create a comfortable experience. My goal is to fulfill these requirements for every guest.
Hope to host you soon!
