About the host
Hosted by KRISTA CRAVEN
My name is Krista. My husband, Andrew, and I live in St. Paul, MN. We have three kids. Our oldest is married, and they farm an hour north of the Twin Cities. Very exciting! We have a daughter who is in college and our youngest son is just finishing high school.
Why they chose this property
We purchased this cabin just as the pandemic was starting and shortly after I lost both of my parents. The cabin and its beautiful setting was a welcome distraction and a lovely place to heal as our family grieved the loss of my parents and also navigated the challenges the pandemic brought to our kids. We hope that those renting the cabin will also be blessed by this amazing, beautiful, peaceful place!
What makes this property unique
A quiet lake, great for fishing!
A peaceful neighborhood on a dead-end road.
