A simple mission: give two people a quiet, beautiful place to slow down.
We are Nim and Fabiola. We have hosted together for years — a private charter yacht in the Virgin Islands, where we have run hundreds of charters, and two waterfront condos in Fajardo, Puerto Rico. Between charters we travel the world, by boat and otherwise. It is how we learned what a place has to do to be worth returning to. In early 2026 we came to the North Carolina mountains on a trip and did not want to leave, so we went looking for a cabin that could hold the same standard.
We found Lost Ridge: a net-zero glass house built in 2020 to belong to the mountain rather than sit on top of it. We bought it later that year, as its second owners, and we are remaking it as a retreat for two adults and no one else. A private outdoor hot tub opens in October 2026, and everything we add is measured against one question: does it protect the quiet?
Hi, I’m Fabiola — my friends call me Fab. I cook professionally on yachts, which is where I learned how much a small, well-set kitchen can do. I’ve been hosting for nine years, and I love creating spaces where couples can slow down, unplug, and reconnect. Looking forward to hosting you.
