JuneBug Asheville

01/01/2021

As we look back on 2020 and all of the fear, anxiety and disappointment that it contained we also remember the great things that it brought into our lives.
.
It was the year of the pivot. We made the hard decision early on to not host any weddings or events but instead turned our attention to providing a safe and fun place for families to gather. We met so many new friends that we know we will see again.
.
It was also the year we found Melody Kennedy! One of the hardest things about owning a seasonal business is retaining quality employees. Mel is one of the kindest, most hard-working people we have ever had the pleasure of working with. From the first day we met her we knew she would be a great fit. We don’t often come across people who are open to learning anything. She was using a Z-turn, working a chainsaw and driving a tractor within days of starting at JuneBug. (Tom also wants you to know that she is an Appalachian Trail through hiker) Needless to say our intentions are to never let her go!
.
Cheers to 2021 and all of the hope, love and adventures it holds! We can’t wait to see y’all again real soon!

So we took your advice and went with pink. Still a work in progress! Wanna help pick out curtains?

The only fun thing about resealing the roof of your Spartan when it 70 degrees outside is the view!! Our Dawn Redwoods have finally started to turn!

Sometimes you just need a little drive with your honey to get the day started! The colors on the parkway are stunning. 🍁

Get out and enjoy them before they’re gone.

Three years ago I hacked a few pieces of rhizome from a neighbors banana tree and planted them around JuneBug. This one seems to like it’s new home!

Meet my new friend “white bear”. His human boy Sammy left him with me this week to have an adventure!
.
So far we’ve hung out with some lovely pink flamingos 🦩rode bikes and hung out by the creek.
.
He’s getting homesick and will be heading home to Atlanta tomorrow for some Sammy cuddles. Thanks for keeping me company this week!

I get to meet so many people working at JuneBug...we definitely have a story or two 😏
.
While I enjoy meeting you all (some more than others) some people just stand out. @susiecordoni made me this amazing quilt even though her lovely daughter had to cancel their wedding at JuneBug this season.
.
@leahcord and Robb you will always be a part of the JB family!

Taking a little time off with the hubs...heading up to Isle La Motte, VT to help harvest grapes at Tom’s dad’s vineyard....thought we’d make a few stops first

JuneBug flower field...a virtual tour 😁

Hey y’all!! I thought you might enjoy a tour of my amazing flower field. 🌸

08/20/2020

We visited the 1950 Spartan today. RetroModern is making quick work of it. The inside wood turned out really nice!

We love hearing your thoughts ...we’re trying to pick the marmoleum flooring and can’t decide between the yellow and blue. Before you ask the outside design has yet to be determined but will complement whichever floor color we pick.

After installing bright red flooring in our last Spartan we’ve decided to go bold again. Whatcha think?!?

08/17/2020

We have two very similar 1957 campers. Two questions. #1 Which is the original paint design and 2# Which one do you like better?

08/16/2020

We’re doing a thing today....fake wedding in the treehouse! More photos and video to come!!

08/16/2020

I can see why birds like hanging out in trees.

08/11/2020

Just brought this ‘59 Shasta home today. What color should we paint it?
