About the host
Hosted by Mary Placito

Hi - I'm Mary!
My husband and I have always loved the Western North Carolina Mountains. In 2022, we found our Luna Lodge, and in 2023, The Cove Retreat. Since then, we've been having a blast sprucing up these homes to create unique, cozy spaces and have loved sharing them with fellow travelers. We absolutely adore this part of the country and hope you will too!
