Joe Truehart: Vacation Rental Owner in North Carolina
Joe Truehart
Hello, I grew up in the small northern town of Hinckley Minnesota on a small farm. My wife, Tina grew up in Kimberly Wisconsin about 300 miles apart from each other. We met while I was in the US Navy and stationed in Washington DC as a member of the USN Presidential Honor Guard and she was a nanny for a couple with young children.
After the navy, we moved back to Minnesota, where I got a degree in civil engineering and started my career as a construction project manager. We also started our family with 2 children, one of which just graduated from UW La Crosse with a sports management degree and is now working at the University of North Carolina and my son works for the USPS. We have lived in Appleton WI now for the past 20 years where I am a partner and VP of construction for Hoffman Design & Construction and Tina manages logistics for Kimberly Clark.
Tina and I love to get out on our Harley Davidson and tour the country. We have been riding in some the most spectacular areas of our great country. We have always loved to get out an experience other areas and meet other people and have always encouraged our kids to do the same.
Why they chose this property
We have always stayed at vacation rental properties for our motorcycle vacations. So, on our way back from the Ozarks in Arkansas, Tina and I started talking about us taking on this journey. We searched for a long time, nearly 5 months. We wanted to find a place that could have where we could host our motorcycle friends as well as other adventurers.
Tina and I have always been adventurous and curious about the world around us and I am always in learning mode. We have taken our kids all over the country to places like Yellowstone, Washington DC and Boston up through Maine. We have camped and visited tons of state and national parks. So when we were searching for a property we needed to find a place where we could do everything that we have always loved to do. Things like fishing, hunting, motorcycle riding, boating, kayaking and hiking. We love to sight see and view all the great vistas that the mountains have to offer. We also wanted a place where we could bring our friends and family that enjoy to do all of those same things.
What makes this property unique
This property can't be more centrally located to everything that Western NC has to offer. The towns of Sylva and Dillsboro boast with some the best restaurants, shopping and breweries. We looked a long time to find a property with a paved road to the front door, that is located up in the mountains with a great view. That was not easy to find so we feel very grateful to have been able to be at this phase of our lives and find a place like this.
