About the host
Hosted by Lacey
I am an Arizona Native. I was born and raised in this beautiful land just like those who came before me.
I was raised in a large family with 4 sisters, in the rural Arizona desert. I have 4 children of my own whom I am teaching to find adventure in the ordinary. We homeschool all morning, then spend the afternoon finding joy in life. I love making beaded earrings, skiing, and searching for buried treasure. Everyday you wake up is a blessing.

Why they chose this property
I love the location of this home, far enough away to enjoy the remote beautiful high desert but close enough to all the treasured locations of Northern Arizona.
What makes this property unique
The location- in its closeness to the Grand Canyon, as well as being so close to the main highway but far enough to feel the joy of the rural desert. The southwestern style of the home, The layout and spaciousness of the property are refreshing for large families to be together yet have the needed space not to be crowded.
