About the host
Hosted by Chris Larmore
I love the St Helen area and own three rentals in Artesia Beach. One off the lake and two neighboring properties on the lake. If you book all three you could host up to 16 people.
Why they chose this property
My family has been hanging out in Artesia Beach since 1925! It is an awesome and welcoming community with a lot of fun outdoor activities.
What makes this property unique
Spacious. Newly remodeled. Well furnished. Fully functional kitchen. Comfortable and cozy. Tons of parking for your toys. Huge fire pit.
