❓ After Instant Booking or Requesting to Book you’ll be asked some questions about your stay. Please reply within 24 hours so we can prepare for your visit. Don’t worry, it will be painless!

Is the home suitable for children?
We have steep stairs (see photo) and a deck without a railing. While it's not very high, it is not super low either. This home is not a great option for children or adults who are not sure footed or mobile infants.

Can we go in the pond?
No, the pond water is not circulated. Swimming wading and boating are not allowed.

Can we fish in the pond?
YES! It is catch and release only. The pond is stocked with carp and bass.

Is the pond private?
No. It belongs to the community. You can walk the path around the pond. Don't be surprised to see people on a stroll or chilling on the bench in front of our home fishing.

Can we feed the ducks and geese?
YES! We provide a small amount of floating duck food. We ask that you not feed them bread as it is bad for their digestive system.

Are the birds loud?
The geese leave in the morning and return in the evening. They can be talkative at night, so we offer a sound machine for your use.

Born in the 70s
Where I went to school: Arizona State University
I'm a home renovator who loves traveling! It's hard to do both at the same time, but I found hosting fellow travelers was as close as you can get to merging the two. From all of our travels, I've learned what makes a home a comfortable retreat after a long day of exploration and love offering that to my guests. I can't get enough of coffee shops, hiking and beautiful landscapes. I've traveled South America top to bottom, to Southeast Asia and parts of Europe and Central America, stopping at every coffee shop I can. My favorite scenario is reading a good book on a trip with a coffee in hand.
