About the host
Hosted by Robyn Tindall
My husband and I remodel homes for a living. Recent years we have kept a few of these homes to use as vacation rentals. We love making homes beautiful!
Why they chose this property
We chose this home because it is in walking distance to downtown, right in the backyard of the legendary surf ballroom, very close to the lake, and it is across the street from a park.
What makes this property unique
We have recently updated this home. New roof/siding. Just added a fenced in backyard with fire pit and has a view of the lake.
