About the host
Hosted by Scott Lichner
We're Scott and Lynnette, proud single-property owners who believe hospitality means treating every guest like they own the place — because for the duration of your stay, we think you should. Originally from Colorado, we've been married for 15 years and are parents to three wonderful children and grandparents to five grandchildren. By profession, we're educators — a career that's taught us patience, attentiveness, and a genuine passion for giving back to the people and communities around us. Those same values shape how we host. Because we own just one property, we're able to give it — and you — our full attention. Our local property manager, Shauna, along with her own maintenance team, is just 15 minutes away — so if anything ever comes up during your stay, help arrives quickly, not after a long wait. We're grateful for the chance to share our home with you, and we hope it feels like a true home away from home — a place to relax, reconnect, and make memories in the Ozarks.
