Hi! We’re Rhi and Tevis Sandefur, proud local owners of 618 Short Stays, powered by Selling SI Realty. We love being part of this community and sharing our little corner of it with guests from near and far.

Hosting has become something we truly enjoy because it gives us the opportunity to create a space where people can relax, reconnect, and feel at home. Whether you’re here for business, a weekend getaway, family time, or just passing through, we’ve thoughtfully prepared this home to be clean, comfortable, and stress-free — your home away from home.

When we’re not hosting, we enjoy spending time outdoors, supporting local businesses, and continuing to grow our small business here in the area. We’re local and always happy to offer recommendations or help with anything you may need during your stay.

Thank you so much for supporting our small business. We truly appreciate you and hope you have an amazing stay!

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood has a wonderful, inviting feel — peaceful, yet full of charm and energy. It’s the kind of place that feels like home from the moment you arrive: warm, welcoming, and friendly. There’s a sense of community that makes every street feel familiar, while still offering plenty of space to relax and enjoy your surroundings.

What I enjoy most is the perfect mix of peace and adventure. You can spend quiet mornings soaking in the calm and beauty of the area, then venture out to explore nearby sights, activities, or local gems. It’s fun, lively, and full of opportunities to make each day memorable, yet still cozy and homey enough to always feel like your personal retreat.

What makes this property unique

What makes this property truly stand out is how unique and different it is from anything else around. It’s not just another rental — it has its own personality, charm, and style that make every stay memorable. The space is fun, inviting, and full of little touches that give it character, making it feel special the moment you arrive.

Guests often notice how it’s both enjoyable and comfortable at the same time. Whether you’re relaxing inside, exploring the surroundings, or just soaking in the atmosphere, it offers an experience that’s refreshing, distinctive, and completely unlike anything else nearby. It’s a place that leaves a lasting impression and makes every stay feel a little more extraordinary.
