About the host
Hosted by Beth Kirby
Originally from Pittsburgh, and recently relocated from Naples, FL, couldn’t be happier about being a “half back” in this area! Matt and I live in the house adjacent to this guest house. We built both structures ourselves and with great attention to detail. We take great pride in being able to share our property with you and we know you will enjoy your stay.
Why they chose this property
We fortunately stumbled upon this area during covid and built the home ourselves along with a little help from some friends. Our property is relatively flat, yet the water is deep, the cove is quiet, the location on the lake is central, the sunsets are beautiful, the public boat ramps are close, the water is calm, the neighborhood is safe and friendly, and it’s just perfect!
What makes this property unique
It’s just perfect. Private, quiet, accessible, good water, relaxing. You just have to experience it.
