About the host
Hosted by Patricia
As a proud native of Marksville, I thought it would be most fitting to explore my passion and open my first short-term rental in my hometown; Acton's Secret Jewel. ASJ is dedicated to my late cousin. When I am not working (which is not often) I spend my time with my 3 wonderful adult children, and my family and friends.
