About the host
Hosted by Josh Corey
Hi, we’re Josh and Laurie—thanks for considering Heart of Huxley Bay!
We fell in love with this area for its calm waters, quiet forests, and the simple joy of lake life. After spending time here ourselves, we designed this cabin to be comfortable, practical, and easy to enjoy—whether you’re here to fish, relax, work remotely, or just unplug.
We love sharing places that allow guests to slow down, spend time outdoors, and make meaningful memories. We hope Heart of Huxley Bay becomes one of those places for you.
Make yourself at home—we’re glad you’re here!
