Hello everyone, my name is Tanya. I’m a married mom of four who loves outdoor adventures and spending quality time with family. We absolutely adore the beauty of nature, and all the fun activities this area offers. We love the area so much that in August of 2020 our family decided to purchase our first vacation home. We wanted something large and luxurious enough for our family of six and ideal for hosting friends and extended family when we travel together. We hope you enjoy our property as much as our family has. Please reach out if you have any questions— I’m always happy to help!
