I love road biking, reading, and putting together playlists on Spotify. When I travel, I like to have a nice home base to launch from. Exploring is great but so is just hanging out in a new, beautiful and relaxing space. When I first set out to host our family vacation home, this is exactly what I had in mind. Now, we also manage properties for others! I hope you enjoy these houses as much as our family, friends and guests have over the years
