BROKER SHOWCASE

Thirty-four years ago, I found my piece of paradise. I knew I wanted to be part of helping people fulfill their dreams. My family and I moved here in 1989, leaving behind everything we knew to start a new life in this little slice of heaven. We had been vacationing here since 1969, and my wife had spent all her summers here since 1961. We knew that this was where we were meant to be.

In bringing our two youngest children from the Washington DC area, they threatened to possibly run away because of a completely different environment and the loss of lots of friends. Still, they found new friends, graduated from Western Carolina, and are raising families. It would be challenging to get them to leave now. We have grown from a family of 5 to 11 with a new one on the way. WE LOVE IT HERE and have met some wonderful people.

One of my passions is gardening, and I love nothing more than getting my hands dirty and creating something beautiful out of nothing. I also enjoy playing golf, but unfortunately, I have had to put that on hold since my spine operation. But I know that I’ll be back on the greens soon enough. One of the things I love most about this area is sharing it with others. I love to give tours of the entire region, showing off our version of paradise and introducing people to all the beautiful things that make this place so unique.

If you’re considering moving here, my advice is simple: wait to purchase anything until you’ve been shown the entire area. Very few people will decide this isn’t for them, but that’s okay if they do. We want people who love this place as much as we do. So if you’re looking for a little slice of heaven, come visit us. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

BOOK CLUB

KILLERS FLOWER MOON of the

By David Grann

Review by Cody Kessler

“Killers of the Flower Moon” by David Grann is a captivating true crime book that explores a dark and lesserknown chapter of American history—the Osage Indian murders. As someone who found the mystery highly engaging and the historically accurate tale fascinating, this book offers remarkable insight into the lives of the affluent Osage Indians and the grim challenges they endured.

Grann skillfully unravels the forgotten period of the early 20th century when the Osage Nation became wealthy from oil discoveries on their land. The narrative exposes a series of murders targeted at the Osage people, driven by greed, racism, and intricate conspiracies. With a suspenseful writing style, the author keeps readers at the edge of their seats, turning pages eagerly. The book’s notable strength lies in its meticulous research and historical accuracy. Grann presents a vivid picture of the era, meticulously employing primary sources and interviews to breathe life into the story. By shedding light on this shocking and relatively unknown part of American history, the author showcases the power of investigative journalism.

Through the lens of the Osage murders, Grann also addresses broader social and racial dynamics of the time. He explores corruption within law enforcement and the judiciary, revealing the devastating consequences of unchecked power. Against the backdrop of the Roaring Twenties, the author juxtaposes newfound opulence with underlying societal tensions, enriching the narrative further. The character development in this novel is another standout aspect. Grann introduces a diverse cast of individuals, both victims and perpetrators, whose lives intertwine within the larger tapestry of the story. By humanizing these figures, the author ensures that readers emotionally invest in their fates, enhancing the overall impact of the book.

Equally significant is the empathy Grann extends to the Osage community. He captures their collective trauma during a period of relentless violence, highlighting their resilience and quest for justice. This poignant aspect of the book sheds light on the enduring scars inflicted on indigenous communities throughout American history.

“Killers of the Flower Moon” successfully brings a little-known part of history to the forefront, encouraging readers to confront uncomfortable truths from the past. Grann’s ability to blend elements of true crime, historical research, and social commentary is commendable, making this book an exceptional read for those interested in unraveling the complexities of America’s past.

In conclusion, this historical account is a captivating and enlightening book that expertly weaves together mystery, history, and social critique. With meticulous research and compelling storytelling, David Grann resurrects a forgotten tale, providing fascinating insights into the lives of the wealthy Osage Indians and the harrowing struggles they faced during the Osage murders. This book serves as a powerful reminder to remember and share untold stories of the past.

UMMERT I ME KITCHEN

The Cucumber Basil Lime Gimlet

Refreshing, tasty, and even healthy. This easy-to-make cocktail will save you time, so you can return to soaking in the summer fun. Make a mocktail by substituting sparkling water for vodka. Clean and refreshing, without the next-day drag.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 slices of cucumber cut into 1/4-inch slices

• 1 and 1/2 fresh basil leaves

• 1 and 1/2 ounces vodka

• 1 lemon

• 1/4 ounce of freshly squeezed lime juice

• Basil leaf for garnish

• Ice

• Sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Put the cucumber and basil in a shaker and mix.

2. Add a squeeze of lemon, vodka, and lime juice.

3. Add ice and shake until chilled.

4. Take a wedge of the lemon, rim, and dip the glass in sugar.

5. Strain the concoction into a glass filled with fresh ice.

6. Garnish with a basil leaf.

7. Steak cucumber slice.

FRESH BITES

INGREDIENTS

• 2-1”-thick sliced country bread

• 2 clove garlic, minced

• 1/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil

• 2 medium cucumbers, thinly sliced

• 4 c. diced tomatoes (heirloom, cherry, or grape)

• 1 medium red onion, cut into 4 wedges

• 2 tbsp. capers

• 3 tbsp. red wine vinegar

• 1 1/2 c. cubed fresh mozzarella

• 1/2 c. fresh basil leaves, small bite-size pieces

• Kosher salt

• Freshly ground black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Heat the grill to medium-high and oil the grates. Brush bread and onion with oil and season with salt and pepper.

2. Grill bread and veggies until bread is lightly toasted, 30 seconds to 1 minute per side, and onions are lightly charred and crisp-tender, 3 minutes per side.

3. Transfer grilled bread and onion to a cutting board. Rub garlic on both cut sides of the bread, then let everything cool slightly.

4. Next, cut bread into bite-size cubes, thinly slice cucumber, and chop onion.

5. Whisk together oil, vinegar, and season with salt and pepper in a large enough bowl. Add bread cubes, cucumber, onion, tomatoes, mozzarella, capers and basil.

Panzanella is a Tuscan chopped salad. This salad is a delicious summer meal and is filled with ripe, juicy tomatoes and crusty bread. A shower of fresh basil takes it over the top.

TOWN & COUNTRY

Atrip to the peace and serenity of Montreat, North Carolina, may be just what your soul is longing for, surrounded by the stunning beauty of this little nook of nature. Traveling to Montreat from Cashiers is just under a two-hour trip north and makes a great day-trip destination while visiting the region. The small town is tucked on the edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains near the Eastern rim of the Continental Divide and located on the western border of the Pisgah National Forest, north of Black Mountain. Montreat is void of any commercial development or traffic signals and where walking is considered one of the best ways to get around town.

The small town is where Billy Graham, the well-known evangelist, lived until his death in 2018 at the age of 99. Graham and his late wife Ruth raised their five children in a 2,500-square-foot home purchased in 1940 on Mississippi Road. The home, currently on the market, has been made available as a vacation rental in recent years. Once Graham gained national and later international notoriety, the family built another home in Montreat to have more privacy.

Montreat got its start over 125 years ago as a mountain retreat formed by Congregationalist minister John Collins, with funding for the project coming from candy manufacturer John Huyler. The town was incorporated in 1967; however, the name Montreat which sounds similar to the Canadian city of Montreal, actually has more humble origins as a blend of the word “mountain” and “retreat.” The town holds up to its moniker as it reflects the area’s majestic landscape while also serving as an ode to the lineage under the ownership of the Mountain Retreat Association.

LOCAL TREASURES

LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN

A twin-peaked mountain rising 3,760 feet with panoramas & challenging hiking trails. One of the most popular trails in Montreat, the trail leads up to the rocky summit of Lookout Mountain with great views of the Montreat Valley and the Seven Sisters.

THE BUSH FARMHOUSE

The cuisine and interior aesthetics of this restaurant make you feel like you are in South Africa. From the farm animals that include roosters, chickens, goats, pot belly pigs, and donkeys, to the cooked-toperfection food, this is authentic dining at its best.

Visit: bushfarmhouse.com

MOUNTAIN NEST

A unique gallery of locally and regionally handcrafted artisan goodies. All items are handmade by artists. Selections include jewelry, pottery, original art, wood carvings, and glasswork. Visit: mtnnest.com

The Montreat Conference Center is a popular destination in the area hosting an estimated 30,000 visitors each year. The center stages more than 400 events annually. The property encompasses over 2,500 acres of protected wilderness. While exploring Montreat, most will encounter the property of Montreat College or the Montreat Conference Center. Visitors can navigate by following the signs; green signs on sites denote ownership by the conference center, while blue signage marks property operated by the college.

Montreat is the main campus of Montreat College, with other campuses in Asheville, Charlotte and Black Mountain. The private Christian college, founded in 1916, offers four-year liberal arts degrees. Montreat College is home to one of more than a dozen frescoes by Benjamin Long throughout North Carolina. The “Return of the Prodigal” fresco is housed in the Chapel at Montreat College.

Nature surrounds this small community which is perfect for hiking or camping. The Flat Creek flows through Montreat, where visitors can follow the Flat Creek Trail. Montreat has a network of an estimated 30 miles of trails, including the Graybeard Trail Hike. In addition, Lake Susan is owned by the Montreat Conference Center and is a picturesque backdrop in the middle of this beautiful town.

Montreat is known for hosting a yearly festive July 4th parade through town. The small town of fewer than 2,000 people experiences a swell in population during the summer as vacationers spend time relaxing and enjoying the slower pace of this tranquil environment.

While in Montreat, check out Ten Thousand Villages to find hand-crafted goods from artisans worldwide. The town’s motto, “a place set apart,” is certainly something all will find rings true in Montreat.

Black Bear Rock

Get away from it all at Black Bear Rock, a spacious mountain retreat with stunning views of the valley beyond. This bright, modern home offers enough space for multiple families to come together and extra room to spread out. The main level features a fully functional kitchen with double ovens, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a primary suite with heated bathroom floors. The downstairs includes an extra living room with a gas fireplace, TV, books, games, and more. The beautiful Appalachian rainforest the home is nestled in is just beyond your front door. The yard has been cleared for outdoor hangouts and sits in the shadow of the enormous rock from which the home claims its namesake. It’s a marvel you must see to believe!

How is the WiFi in your rentals?

Local infrastructure is not the same here as it is in metropolitan neighborhoods. There area several communities that are impelenting fiber optic internet services, but most of our properties use wifi, which tends to be slower than the wifi in urban areas. We encourage our guests to take full advantage of the mountains and get out to explore and enjoy.

Do you offer petfriendly rentals?

Yes! We welcome dogs at many of our rentals. Please see our website for specific properties. There is a non-refundable pet fee.

Are there any amenities offered?

Yes, we have several properties that provide our guests access to community amenities and close proximity to public access activities.

What activities are there nearby?

There are many hiking trails for everybody - not to mention the waterfalls in the area and the unique shopping. Ask our rentals team or check out our blogs at landmarkvacations.com for more suggestions.

What should I bring?

Your toothbrushes and personal care items. Landmark Vacation Rentals prides itself on its professional laundry service, which provides bed linens and bathroom towels. A starter kit is in the home when you arrive that includes coffee, dish soap, dishwasher pods, a scrubbing sponge, laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, and hand soap.

What about wildlife?

Western North Carolina has abundant wildlife (bears, deer, turkey, snakes, and more). Please do not feed the bears! Garbage disposal instructions are provided for each property. Garbage needs to be properly bagged; most homes do have garbage pickup. Please help us keep you and our wildlife safe by following our instructions.

What is your cancellation policy?

Please refer to our website for exact details - these may vary from property to property.

What if I arrive late for check-in?

If you are staying at a property with keyless entry, you will receive a text with your door code when your rental is ready and you can go directly to the property. If you are staying at a property with a keyed entry, we provide three after-hours check-in locations. You will be directed to the most convenient location for your rental property, where you will pick up your check-in packet. Your packet will include printed directions to your rental. Please follow the provided directions as GPS isn’t always reliable on the mountain.
