Design | Rustic-modern with a wink ; )

Welcome to the up-styled, 2 bedroom-2 full bath (zero entry shower and soaking tub), thoughtfully designed cottage overlooking The Hamlet Herd goat pasture at Highland Lake. This is your out-post for relaxation with intention.

Think boho + retro vibes w/ comfort & creativity in mind.

It's a quiet stroll to Wild Lotus Yoga Studio, the lake, & two farm-to-table eateries...

Goal | a purposeful reprieve at this well-located place in the heart of WNC.

My work: Ret. federal agent
Lives in Flat Rock, North Carolina
Retired federal agent with a warrant for curiosity and a dangerously active creative side. These days I split my time between real estate, interior design, and teaching law enforcement professionals — because apparently I can’t fully retire from investigating things. Dog lover, enthusiastic host, and keeper of The Goat Cottage, where the décor is intentional and the goats may or may not be running security.
