About the host
Hosted by Alexis & Kimberly Midence
Hello, My name is Alexis. I Completed my cottage in 2018. I wanted to create an inviting home that could host multiple families. When I'm on vacation with my family, nothing makes me happier than to spend time with them in a location that is so inviting & comfortable. That's why I built this Cottage with a Pool. We travel often and expect certain amenities & standards. We know what families want & expect! So ..... we went a little beyond those expectations and designed this special place so whom ever books it - will have the same opportunity to create those special memories we all strive for! My mission is for my guest to feel welcomed in a safe & comfortable Cottage. Thank you
Why they chose this property
Choosing this Home gives you the benefit of enjoying a New Construction Cozy Custom Cottage that was designed and constructed solely for the purpose of hosting families period!
Being an avid traveler and having the experience of booking many homes - I understand what families are looking for and what they expect in a vacation rental. I incorporated those amenities and designed the entire Cottage around them.
