About the host

Hosted by Lorissa Belcher

Host profile image
I live in the country by the lake with my 12 year old service dog. I love to fish and hunt, hike, camp and check adventures off my bucket list. I am remodeling my home. It is the family home built by Governor Avery. I am continuing to make improvements and upgrades, so please bear with me. I now run Woods & Waves at Milford Lake, I also run Sniffspot Dog Area, Personal Train and work as a Vet Assistant in JC at the Animal Care Clinic.
I welcome you to my home, property and to enjoy a nice peaceful, private stay. I love the area and how close it is to the lake, yet also to the store. i can put in my kayak or walk for some icecream. In the fall and spring I enjoy hiking the woods. See the aerial view. I can host a wedding, bridal shower, Girls' Get-A-Way or Family Reunion. I have plenty of space. My father is a taxidermist. If you're a hunter or fisherman, he can recommend some great spots for both! My friend, Chef Jenn may even make you up a pot of chili when you come back from a day of winter hunting. In the summer, I enjoy the pool and will welcome guests to do the same.

Why they chose this property

Share our historical home and peace of paradise in the woods by the lake.

What makes this property unique

Private and peaceful, it is the only house on the road. You can walk to the lake and put in a kayak or walk to the store and restaurant. Safe and quiet. I love it here.
