About the host

Hosted by Kathy Leigh Werner

Host profile image
I'm a traveling healthcare professional from OH. I traveled to this area for work and fell in love with forest life! I loved it so much I decided to make this my home! I can't be happier to share this area with others to explore.

Why they chose this property

The house comfortably accommodates big/multi families and is handicap accessible. There are plenty of outdoor activities to stay busy or you can just sit on the deck or around the fire and watch the stars! We live nearby so we are available for any help/questions/concerns you may have or we can give you as much privacy as you would like.

What makes this property unique

My neighbors say that living in this area is like "old Florida", the way it used to be before the big tourism boom. The people are tremendous and the area is quiet and laid back. Your get all the benefits of the lake with the bonus of the beauty of the forest without the beach crowds..
