We’re Graham Property Management — the team behind Cozy Bee Hive, working to make sure your stay is comfortable, smooth, and enjoyable. Although we’re now based in the beautiful mountains of Graham County, North Carolina, we’re originally from Southern Illinois and spent many years living and working in the Mt. Vernon area. Cozy Bee Hive holds a special place in our hearts, and we love being able to share this home with guests visiting a region we still consider home. Graham Property Management is owned and operated by John and Allison, a couple with complementary backgrounds in real estate, business, home improvement, and guest services. John holds a degree in Business Management and brings hands-on experience in property care and operations. Allison is a licensed real estate broker in North Carolina with years of experience in real estate sales, property management, and hospitality. While we may be managing the property remotely, we have trusted local resources in the area and stay actively involved in ensuring the home is guest-ready and well-maintained. Our goal is to provide a clean, comfortable, and welcoming space, and to be responsive and easy to reach if you need anything during your stay. We look forward to hosting you at Cozy Bee Hive — and we’re always just a message away if you have questions or need assistance.
