About the host
Hosted by Rob Lavoie
We are a family of 5 + Kiki our lab/retriever mix service dog. We love the mountains, the beach, museums and exploring new places. We love to share our home and stay at other homes when we travel. There is so much more energy in a home that is lived in vs a rental property. I grew up in Utah, and my wife in Montana, but we have decided we love Northern California. Our oldest daughter just graduated from High School and our twins (boy and girl) will be entering High School this fall (2022). We hope you enjoy our home, our neighborhood, and the Bay Area as much as we do. From Napa Valley, an hour to the north, to Pt Reyes and beaches to the west, Lake Tahoe is 3 hours East, and Monterey and Carmel are just South, so there is much to do. Easy access to SFO, or OAK airports via BART terminals at each airport will take you to within 1 mile of our house, and San Francisco is an easy BART ride under 30 minutes to Museums, famous sites, and many great restaurants. Walnut creek is a great shopping destination as well as more restaurants. As a CFO in the restaurant and hospitality industry food is one of my favorite pass times. If we haven't answered your questions yet, please ask, we love sharing the fun! Rob, Kim, Jeanette, CJ & Lizzie
