About the host
Hosted by Kelly Herrera
Hi, my name is Kelly!
This is a family owned business here in the Permian Basin! My husband Miguel and I have been together for almost 9 years and we are proud parents of one child. I stay at home and homeschool our son and my husband works full time. We love our local church, our Permian Basin community, and we couldn't be more thankful. When we have free time we love to travel!
We are grateful to everyone who books with us or saves our home on their Wishlist for future consideration! We look forward to you staying at our home and as always, we look to exceed your expectations.
Thank you!
