About the host
Hosted by Lyndell
When this property came up for sale we jumped at it because we knew it was the perfect spot to share with family but the bills needed to be paid on it and short term rentals was the ticket.
We are a retired couple and maintaining the property has been such a joy. We can't get enough of the beautiful surroundings and wildlife. Boating and fishing is one of our favorite pass time activities. Kayaking, biking and hiking are all things we enjoy. Good music and comedy too!

Why they chose this property
Neighborhood is super friendly! Always looking to lend a hand especially for snow clearing and lawn maintenance!
What makes this property unique
Our property is nestled in a little cove at the end of a lane making it super private and quiet. We face southwest so sunsets are glorious. We have met all sorts of wildlife, eagles chirp in the trees beside us and hunt for fish early in the morning. Lots of ducks, geese loons, bunnies, frogs, toads, and turtles are in abundant supply around here. We hear foxes and coyotes at night. It's such a nature haven!
