Hosted by Jennifer Holloway
Hi! I’m Jennifer, Chris and I have been married since 1995, we have 3 awesome kids, and we’re very busy with everything! I own The Nanny Network & Sitters’ Registry, Chris is a Realtor, we flip houses, and now we own 5 cabins on Cross Lake & 4 tiny cabins & an RV on Caddo Lake, a super cute southern home with 2 rentals in Mooringsport, and 3 unique Red River rentals! We love traveling and have used VRBO ourselves. We are so excited to offer our beautiful Properties because they are more than Cabins on a lake & river, they are a total Louisiana experience!
