About the host
Hosted by Cynthia & Dave
Hi, We are a fairly, young, retired couple, living our dream, in beautiful Buffalo Wyoming. I started hosted travelers in our renovated Historic Capitol Hotel building in 2010. Now with our newest Creekside property, my husband we be joining me, welcoming folks, from all over the world. We are a husband and wife team. We cater to you. If you need any assistance, it is my husband and I that will assist you. Our vacation rentals are seasonal, so we travel quite a bit, in the off season. We understand what's important when you're away from home and WIFI is one, we find, there is nothing worse than bad wifi when traveling. So please don't hesitate to reserve with us, we would be honored to be part of your vacation memories.
