While bartending his way through college, Hendley had a life-changing idea. He would hold wine-tasting fundraisers in the area and apply the donations to helping people around the world get access to clean water. Now, he sells bottles of wine all over the US, as each bottle also donates half it's cost to the organization. Over the past 9 years, Wine to Water has successfully helped 25,000 people gain access to clean water in Sudan, India, Cambodia, Uganda, Ethiopia, Peru, and Kenya. Hendley built the organization from the ground up, has made his headquarters in downtown Boone, and resides here with his wife and two children.To show the respect Doc Hendley has been given, one can see that he was included in the Top 10 Finalists for CNN's Hero of the Year (among others such as Colin Powell and Ted Turner). We're lucky to have him.
DO NOT USE HIGH COUNTRY CABIN RENTALS!!!! I stayed at one of their rentals called "The Dusty Boot" in NC & this is what happened! Where on the list do I start?? The dead rotten smell in the basement, the broken pool table, the fact that EVERYDAY we were disturbed by unannounced people working on the house. The fact that there was mouse poop EVERYWHERE!!! When we EXPECTED a refund we were told by the High Country Cabin Rentals they would fight for us, what they ended up doing was NOTHING for us AT ALL!!! It was the MOST unrelaxed vacation I EVER went on. No one wanted to help us, I'll be calling my lawyer & credit card company this week. TOTALLY not worth it! Go to another rental company & different house! This company only wants your money apparently they don't care about customer service...I have audio & video of everything & every conversation, get in touch, I'll be more then happy to tell you what a POS they are!!!! I'll be taking them to court so this doesnt happen to YOU!
