About the host
Hosted by Brittany Woolsey
We're from California and enjoy our two children (with another on the way). We love giving family comfort in a desert setting. Florence has a very special small town feel that we truly enjoy getting to experience throughout our visits during the year. Our kids have so much fun having the free space to kick a ball around the yard and experience the stillness of a quiet road. We hope your visit brings so many special memories to you and your loved ones as it does for us.
Why they chose this property
St. Anthony Monastery is a very special place that feels other-worldly when you experience it. The peacefulness the neighborhood brings us when we're able to visit is just what we need to reset and feel grateful for everything we are given; our joyfulness as well as our struggles.
What makes this property unique
We have enjoyed making our home work for multiple types of groups. For fun filled wedding weekends to ATV family vacations. Having children ourselves we have made the property ready to accommodate children of all sizes. We've tried to think of anything you may need during your visit so all you're needing to bring are your clothes and other essentials.
