About the Innkeepers
Your Aska Lodge proprietors, Bob and Mary Jo Stamper, are ready to welcome you to the North Georgia Blue Ridge Mountains along with their resident dog, Abby (bassett/corgi mix). Bob, retired after 30 years in law enforcement and now a Georgia Master Naturalist, and Mary Jo, an LPN-turned-innkeeper, are finally realizing their dream of owning their own B & B after many years of staying in others.
Bob and Mary Jo are originally from New Jersey, but lived in Lakeland, Florida for 20 years before discovering the property in Blue Ridge that eventually, after months of renovations, became the luxury lodging that it is today.
