About the host
Hosted by Richard and Peggy Warren
Adventure & travel have been passions for us, Peggy and Richard, since before we were married 43 years ago. And that passion has translated into the same for our 2 children.
Growing up in Michigan, lakes and rivers were never more than 7 miles away......and not unlike the Pinetop/Lakeside region, 4 seasons of outdoor adventure was always possible. Cabin retreats and freshwater sports are what we grew up doing and this Arizona region felt very familiar.
As our careers moved us around the country, we were fortunate to broaden our adventure thirst into many new experiences and places. Richard spent 7 years of Geological research on the Alaskan glaciers and Peg taught school children in a tiny Pacific fishing village in Jalisco, Mexico; two pretty extreme experiences. After meeting and marrying, we chose to fill in those extremes by broadening our travel experiences.
Richard's Aerospace career landed us in California where we ultimately raised our 2 children and settled on a small ranch on a mountain top in S. California.
Now, as grandparents, we seek to enrich the lives of those who desire to explore with friends and family while strengthening bonds through adventure, play, food and great times together.
There's something unique about the draw of someone's roots......the familiar, the comfortable, the wholesomeness of coming home. This is what drew us to the Piinetop/Lakeside region. From our home to your stay.......WELCOME!
