About the host
Hosted by Thea
I have been living in this beautiful area for 40 years. I know it very well since I have been working in the local tourism industry for 25 years and will be happy to provide you with all the information you may need to have a great vacation! I am not going to be present during your stay but will be available via phone, e-mail or text. I am a nature lover and, if you are too, you will find suggestions for hikes nearby and excursions around this area. Being a dog lover I understand the importance to share a vacation with your best friend. If you are a responsible dog owner and your pet is well behaved, both of you are going to really enjoy the house!
