About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Dimitrios and Stacey are lifelong Somerset locals, happily married for 15 years — which, in dog years (according to Coco, their family pup), is basically forever. Together, they’re raising three awesome kids: Dalila, Dimitrios, and Liliana — the names behind Stacey’s marketing company, DDL Advertising.

Stacey is the brains behind branding, while Dimitrios runs Agoro’s Pizza Bar & Grill, the local go-to for great food and good vibes since 1984. If you ask around town, someone’s probably had one of his pizzas — or two… or ten.

They’re natural hosts who love a good get-together, whether it’s Sunday dinner with friends or impromptu backyard parties. So opening RiverView Retreat to guests felt like second nature. Their goal? To make you feel like part of the family — minus the group chat.

Why they chose this property

The property at 2980 Riverside Avenue in Somerset, Massachusetts, boasts a rich history that reflects the area's vibrant past. Constructed in 1894, this historic home has stood as a testament to the architectural and cultural heritage of the late 19th century.​

In the early 20th century, the lower level of the residence served as a speakeasy—a clandestine establishment that operated during the Prohibition era, offering patrons a secret venue for socializing and enjoying illicit beverages. The property's location on what was once known as Gay Street adds another layer to its historical significance. This street earned its name due to the transportation of clay from Gay Head on Martha's Vineyard to Somerset, where artisans utilized it to craft pottery on-site, highlighting the area's industrious past.​

Today, efforts are underway to restore the former speakeasy to its original splendor, allowing visitors and residents alike to experience a tangible piece of Somerset's storied history.​
