Where I went to school: LSU
We live on premises and are available to help you get settled. Ben is in business in AVL, Will teaches school. We know the area very well and are happy to help you with ideas for your trip. "Variety is the spice of Life" as my mother used to always say (before I came out!) but still very true. Look forward to meeting lots of different kinds of folks in our unique space. Ben and Will
