Once upon time.... my parents, brother and I immigrated to America. I was born in Wiesbaden, Germany of a mother who was born and raised in Bordeaux, France and the father born in Prague and raised in Beirut, Lebanon. Both sets of grandparents were from Russia. English was my 4th language. As a child at home we spoke French, Russian and a little bit of German. I have traveled & lived in many parts of the world both with family and as an adult, working with major airlines and travel agencies. 

Twenty-four years ago I fell in love with this heavenly area of Western North Carolina and purchased this century old family home which now I have the pleasure and privilege to call home and to share this 1910 historic home with guests. Part of having this lovely home for people to stay in Franklin, is the enjoyment of meeting folks from all walks of life and from all over the world! Truly you learn so much from others.

In my spare time, I enjoy getting involved in doing artwork & crafts (www.dreamonartworks.com), visiting friends, reading, traveling when time permits, keeping up the grounds & gardening, and caring  for several furry children (which reside in my home quarters) they DO NOT have run of the house....please be assured.
