VALLE CRUCIS â The Mast Farm Inn would like to take this opportunity to announce the sale of the business to Melody Pineda and Shay Frendt.
The Deschamps Family has owned and operated The Mast Farm Inn since 2006. In that time, they have preserved the legacy of the Mast Family and created a modern reputation for elegance and service. The Deschamps devotion to family style service, historical preservation and local priorities meant they were looking for a similar-minded buyer.
Frendt is based in Wake Forest, NC, and had a second home in Valle Crucis for several years. He has a background in software development, real estate and hotel investments. His passions for development, technology and nature fit well with Pinedaâs passions for home, hospitality and local community. Pineda was raised in Watauga County and lives just minutes from The Mast Farm Inn. She is a small business owner and realtor in the High Country.
