About the host
Hosted by Stacey Kalmanovitz
Hi I'm Stacey and I grew up in Boiling Springs (in this house). I had an idyllic childhood spending HOURS playing outside here. My husband and I live in California, but like to spend time here when we can. Most weekends you will find us at the beach, listening to live music, or cooking. We have 3 dogs (Deacon, Watson & Otto), we are dog people and we love hosting well-behaved fur babies.
I love hosting because it gives me a chance to share the magic of Boiling Springs, the Yellow Breeches Creek, and this home with the world. Growing up in this house I made many happy memories playing outside and running free and it brings me joy to open my special home to other families!

Why they chose this property
This neighborhood is surrounded by nature and it forces you to slow down a bit. You can sit with your coffee watching blue herons and egrits in our yard, watch the trout jump in the creek, listen to the birds and at night, the owls. Occasionally, you will see snapping turtles, deer, and even a bald eagle. In 2024, I saw 3 wild turkeys come right up to the porch 2 days before Thanksgiving! This is the ultimate place to get away and enjoy some calm.
What makes this property unique
My parents converted the house from a one-bedroom fishing cabin to an A-frame 3 bedroom with two loft-style bedrooms on either side. It's truly unique for families to get together in the large living room and porch but still have separate privacy of their own bedroom spaces. We want others to feel at home here which is why the kitchen is stocked with amenities for cooking, we have many board games (for rainy days), and 4 kayaks to take on the creek. This is a place to come together and make cherished memories.
