Choose Your Home Giveaway

We are excited to announce the winner of the Choose Your Home Giveaway. Find out who won and which of the four houses they chose.
Penny Hawkes received the best 50th birthday present ever. (Officially, it’s August 24th.) Winner of the Myhomeideas.com and Southern Living Choose Your Home Giveaway, this lucky entrant chose the Whisper Mountain's Whisper Creek Cottage for herself, her husband, Ken, and their family to enjoy. Now residents of LaPlace, Louisiana, the Hawkeses have ties to the mountains and are finally getting a chance to come home. "I was born in Huntersville, and Ken and I met when we were both working in Charlotte." Their careers took them to California and then to Louisiana, but Penny says, "We always said we would retire to North Carolina."

Big Win

Persistence paid off for Penny Hawkes. This devoted winner visited MyHomeIdeas.com and Southernliving.com every single day to enter the Choose Your Home Giveaway Sweepstakes. Her winning entry was chosen from more than 5,000,000 received.

 “The Whisper Creek Cottage was the only house I entered for,” Penny says. “I called my friend, Arlene, and told her to enter too. I said, ‘Someone’s got to win, and it should be us,’ never imagining that it would really be me. I’ve never won anything in my life.”
