About the host
Hosted by Leslie A Ball
We are a Christian family blessed with nine children and a deep love for serving others. My husband is a pastor, I own a Christian childcare program, and we have been foster parents for 15 years — ministry and caring for families are truly at the heart of our lives.
We treasure time together, especially when we’re able to step away and vacation as a family. We understand how meaningful and restorative that time can be, and how important it is for it to feel peaceful, comfortable, and stress-free.
Opening our home to others is an extension of our faith and our passion for hospitality. It is a blessing to create a space where families can rest, reconnect, laugh, and make lasting memories, and we are honored to be part of your time away.
