About the host
Hosted by Pepper Simonis
Hello, I am a long-time resident of Mentor, Ohio. My husband (Bryan) and I have quite a knack for remodeling and designing homes. We started our rental business back in 2012 and recently added short term rentals to the mix. It has been a blessing and wonderful experience. The people that we meet, and host are each special in their own way. This business has allowed us to give families a place to come together, slow down, and enjoy life’s moments. Our family strives to give a comfy and cozy place for guests to create lasting memories. We strive to deliver the best possible experience. We have 3 wonderful children that also help in special ways with our guests as needed. We also cannot forget our amazing four-legged companion, Roscoe. We are all animal lovers and believe that dogs should vacation too. We are so grateful to our guests past, present and future. So whether you are looking to spend some quiet time, celebrate, or just visit family and friends know that we are here to help in any way we can.
