Meet Your Hosts​

 

Hi! We’re the Millers. Nice to meet you! We understand renting a property from strangers can feel a little strange so we hope this little biography can put your worries at ease. We think we are pretty fun and are excited to share the Cedar House with you!

 

The Cedar House is owned by four of the crazy Miller Clan: Jim Miller, Donna Miller (Jim’s wife), Katie Miller Fosnaugh (Jim and Donna’s daughter), and Shawn Fosnaugh (Katie’s husband). The greater Miller crew began vacationing at Lake Lure in the 1960’s, with the purchase of a family summer cabin.

 

Generations of family and friends have enjoyed trips to the cabin and it is still family owned. 

 

Fast forward to 2018, we purchased the Cedar House as a place to comfortably house multiple generations of our family. It is within walking distance to our original family home and it means so much to us to be able to continue the family legacy in the immediate area.

 

Since we can’t be at the lake full time (jobs and adulting have so many rules 😆), we decided to share the property with other families and guests. We began renting the property in July of 2018 and have hosted hundreds of guests since. We truly love sharing the magic of the lake with other families and hope our favorite place in the whole world becomes one of yours as well.

A little more about us...

A little more about us…

 

– Our main residences are in Columbus, Ohio. OH-IO!!! to our fellow Buckeyes. Jim and Donna reside in Worthington. Katie and Shawn live in Grandview. 

 

– Jim is a veterinarian and Donna manages the family owned vet practice. It is a well known fact that their German Shephard named Mitchell (after Mount Mitchell) is their favorite child.

 

– Shawn and Katie were married at the Lake Lure Inn in May of 2015. Shawn works as a financial analyst for a large pharmaceutical company. Katie works in real estate investment, owns, and manages rental properties.

 

– We are admitted “Beer snobs.” Craft beers, especially a good citrus IPA, are our jam and recently some of us have decided bourbon collecting (drinking) is pretty fun too.

 

– We love hiking and travel. In the past few years, we have been fortunate enough to summit Half Dome (Yosemite), cross off many of the Presidential mountains (New Hampshire), and venture through Gulfo Dulce in Costa Rica. 

 

Any other questions for us?!? Please feel free to ask. The Cedar House is an amazing place and we hope to share it with you.

 

With ♥️, Katie on behalf of Team Miller
