About the host
Hosted by Kathy Mantey
My name is Kathy Mantey. I decided to get involved in vacation rentals after renting one in Florida many years ago. The experience is so much better than being in a hotel. It feels like a home away from home. I am married to Jerry Mantey and have 3 children. I value dearly the "family vacation" and having the time to be together and share experiences and make beautiful memories. . I look forward to time together with them along with other family and friends.
Why they chose this property
This truly offers the home away from home experience. We purchased this Chalet because it offers many activities year round. The setting is peaceful yet so close to everything. There is plenty of room to have multiple families and spread out.
What makes this property unique
Golfing and skiing/snowboarding are right here in the resort and Lake Bellaire is just a short drive (3 miles) away. The benefit of the private beach club and use of indoor/outdoor pools and hot tub make this location ideal. There is always something to do around the area!
