1. Brittany Payne & Mason Jennings
108 Three Oaks Lane, Kings Mountain

We are new to the area but fell in love with our home tucked away on beautiful Moss Lake, as well as the community, which is a great place to raise our three-year old son. Built in 1976, we have completed several renovations and we continue to add accents to our home. Some of our favorite features are the unique outdoor nooks and cozy living area. We love to mix vintage feels with modern touches. Brittany also, has a clothing store (Southern Fried Glam) which is conveniently located in our home. We are excited to show our love for Christmas decor as well as opening our home to our community. We feel blessed to have become a part of this area and are excited to see each of you!

 

2. Marla & Mark Patterson
206 Gilliatt St., Shelby

Three years ago Dr. and Mrs. Lee Gilliatt graciously sold us a few acres of country heaven in the heart of Shelby. There are many unusual varieties of plants left over from the nursery Dr. Gilliatt’s parents ran for so many years. It is fun to stump visitors as they try to guess what some of those plants are. We completed our house in the fall of 2017. It feels to us like a cottage in a natural wildlife preserve. We have seen over 20 varieties of wildlife including foxes, coyotes, herons, beavers, otters, hawks, several kinds of ducks, geese and of course deer which eat our flowers. The house is oriented to give the best view of the pond and nature in the midst of the huge oak trees which surround it. It is a two-story house designed for entertaining and to accommodate guests. We are grateful for our dear and long-time friend Stephanie Gillespie who helped us so much with our decorations. We hope you enjoy your visit to our home!

 

 

 

3. Winnie & Nathan Simmons
705 Ridgeview Dr., Shelby

Built in 2000, our forest green A-frame home sits nestled in the woods only a mile from Uptown Shelby. The unique architecture of our home gives off a cozy mountain vibe, with its high pine ceilings, a gas wood stove, and no shortage of outdoor space! We are both big on spending time outside, so we’ve expanded our deck since it was initially built. We joke that our exterior space rivals the quaint interior in square footage! We enjoy crisp evenings outdoors on the deck sitting next to the gas fireplace or soaking in the hot tub with a glass of wine and watching the deer graze in the backyard. At Christmas, our house is at its’ prime. An eclectic mix of modern and vintage holiday decor ooze warmth and cheer. Christmas trees are placed throughout and twinkle lights dance their way around the exterior. But our house lends itself well to all seasons, whether blanketed in snow or seeking cool shade in the summer. We hope you enjoy your visit to our little ‘Cabin in the Woods’ this holiday season!

 

4. Annie Holland
401-5 Holman Drive, Shelby

I’m excited for you to visit my cozy two-bedroom town home near Uptown Shelby. It has an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings and just the right amount of space for me. My decorating style is eclectic with a mix of vintage and modern. I hope that when you walk in you will feel like Christmas has come alive!

     

5. Meghan & Chad Stout
222 Conifer Way, Shelby

We moved into our Williams Creek home in 2008 with two small children. The wooded, spacious lot appealed to us and we loved the quiet when we first stepped out of the car. Since then, we’ve made the house our own with updates in almost every room, as well as extensive changes to the outdoor spaces. We look forward to welcoming you for the holidays!

 

6. Mary Beth & Jackson Martin
The Hunt House - 340 Westlee Street, Shelby (Lattimore)

The Hunt House is a beautiful five-bedroom, five-bathroom home built by Dr. Robert Lee Hunt of Lattimore, NC, in 1926. Dr. Hunt raised his family in this house, and the home served as a boarding house for teachers at nearby Lattimore School. Hunt descendants have always owned the house with the newest owner being Jackson Martin, great grandson of Dr. Robert Hunt. Martin’s grandfather, Dr. Jack Hunt was raised in the home. The Hunt family is well known for hospitality, so it is fitting that The Hunt House now provides unique lodgings to travelers and guests. We are excited to welcome you to The Hunt House this Christmas!
