About the host
Hosted by Madelynn
Hi, I'm Madelynn!
I'm a proud grandmother of nine wonderful humans, ranging in age from 6 to 23. I live in Merced, California, and have always loved exploring new places—I've been fortunate to travel throughout South America, Europe, the Middle East, and many beautiful parts of the Western United States.
While I’ve traded skiing and hiking for more relaxing adventures, I still enjoy biking a few times a week and taking short getaways in our motorhome. Whether I’m discovering a new view or enjoying a quiet cup of coffee, I love making space for meaningful moments.
As a host, I strive to offer a peaceful, comfortable place where you can relax, recharge, and feel truly at home. I hope you’ll enjoy your stay as much as I enjoy sharing this space with you.
