My husband Monty, and myself have enjoyed camping, hiking and vacationing with friends for many years and especially enjoy the mountains! We have 3 small rescue dogs that certainly keep us entertained! I enjoy gardens, art, music, camping, travel and new adventures. My husband enjoys cars, boats, dirtbiking and all things action but also likes the familiarity of a routine and visiting the same vacation spot each year! If you feel the same way, we welcome you back to Sunset Ridge as your home base!

We are originally from New England and have been in the South now since 2006 and are really loving it here!

Our home is situated at the top of Kingwood Resort neighborhood and while the roads can be a little windy, they are wide, paved and easy to drive. You do not need 4-wheel drive unless you may want to consider having that available in winter due to the potential for inclement weather. Snow is fun, but you need to be prepared where possible! Be cautious while driving especially at night and drive slowly.
