My work: Real Estate Agent
Lives in Philadelphia, Missouri
My husband, Jim, and I are both retired. We have enjoyed being Airbnb superhosts for 9 years. Airbnb "Frogmore Cottage" is located on our rural private lake setting near Philadelphia MO. Come fish, swim, kayak, relax! Our newest Airbnb, "Center Street Vault and Vine" is located in beautiful bustling downtown Hannibal. It's been so fun rennovating this venue from a 1900s bank to our new part time residence and rental units. We welcome you to both our city and country charm.
