Meet Your Hosts
Jim and Jolie Banks, co-hosted with Kaci
Adventurers at heart, we've hiked the North Cascades, Glacier, the Olympics, and the Smokies — but Pisgah kept pulling us back. I'm the guy who scrambles up the riverbed to touch the waterfall.
We built this place to be the base camp we always wished we had. A retired firefighter, I spend too much time learning how to use AI — which is what powers the Pisgah Base Camp Concierge app you'll have access to during your stay.
Back home we run the top-rated boarding kennel in Northwest Louisiana, nine years running. Our French Mastiff Zydeco approves of the fenced yard.
Thank you for the opportunity to host you. Please reach out with any questions you may have.

You Already Know the Trip You Want
An early start. A big day outside. Then a hot shower and a quiet night when you get back.
That's the trip. You just need the right place to do it from.
We'll help you sort out the plan before you get here. You bring the bikes, boots, rods, and the dog.
