Welcome to Linville Falls Club POA
The Linville Falls Mountain Club is a small, close-knit mountain community nestled near the edge of the Blue Ridge, where life moves a little slower and people still wave when they pass on the road. Built around a shared love of the outdoors, simple living, and neighborly connection, the community brings together full-time residents and seasonal homeowners who value both privacy and belonging. From trail walks and sunset views to potlucks, volunteer projects, and quiet mornings on the porch, life here is rooted in nature and mutual care. Whether it’s maintaining shared spaces, welcoming new neighbors, or organizing local gatherings, the Mountain Club is less about formal structure and more about showing up for each other in the everyday rhythm of mountain life.
The Property Owners Association (POA) for Linville Falls Mountain Club helps keep the community running smoothly by overseeing shared infrastructure, coordinating maintenance of common areas, and managing essential services like road upkeep, signage, and utilities support. It also acts as a central point of communication between committees and residents, helping ensure projects like the bridge, trail access, and community spaces stay on track. While the mountain lifestyle here is intentionally relaxed, the POA provides the structure behind the scenes that allows neighbors to enjoy that simplicity—handling logistics, budgets, and long-term planning so the community can stay safe, functional, and well cared for.

Everett Roach | President
Board Liaison for the Utilities Committee
After retiring from a career in New York law enforcement, Everett made the move to North Carolina and closed on his mountain home in Linville Falls Club on Valentine’s Day in 2022. After a lifetime spent serving others, he has brought that same spirit of service to our community, working daily to help neighbors enjoy the beauty and lifestyle of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Known more as a doer than a talker, Everett follows through on what he says he’s going to do. One of the clearest examples of that came in the aftermath of Helene, when he quickly stepped into action alongside neighbors and professionals to help rebuild important community infrastructure.
When he’s not working on behalf of the community, Everett enjoys pickleball, board games, collecting art, exploring small towns, discovering great restaurants, hiking mountain trails, listening to local bands, and hosting neighbors on his mountain-view porch.
Beth Kelly | Director of Communications
Board Liaison for the Community Engagement Committee
My husband, Chris, and I bought our first lot here in 2010 and purchased Glenn’s very first spec home in 2015 — thanks to a little encouragement from Will Rucker 😊. We quickly fell in love with the community, eventually building our dream home on Clinchfield Gap. We’re still part-timers living in Charlotte for now, but retirement and full-time mountain living are definitely the goal!
We love being surrounded by incredible places like the Linville Gorge, Grandfather Mountain, Mount Mitchell, Asheville, and Lake James, with endless ways to enjoy the outdoors. But more than anything, we love the feel of LFMC — a smaller, welcoming community where neighbors know each other, wave as they pass, and truly appreciate mountain living together.
When I’m not working or helping with board projects, I love hiking, gardening, traveling to visit our kids, and exploring hidden gems around the mountains. My favorite moments, though, are the simple ones — relaxing and reading on the porch, gathering around the fire pit under the stars, and filling our home with friends and family seeking a little mountain respite.

Board Liaison for Finance Committee
Fred and his wife Sandra have called LFMC home since 2000. Their longtime dream was to have a place in both the mountains and at the beach, and they’ve found the beauty and tranquility of the Blue Ridge Mountains to be the perfect mountain retreat.
What Fred treasures most about LFMC is its strong sense of community—neighbors who look out for one another and friendships that stand the test of time.
When they’re not enjoying life in North Cove, Fred and Sandra can often be found exploring the world. Their travels have taken them to 10 countries and various destinations across the United States, from Alaska to Puerto Rico. No matter where they go, their favorite experiences are those that connect them with nature.
