About the host
Hosted by June Bahnsen
I've lived in this area for most of my life, and I love VRBO, which means you'll get high service and quality local recommendations. Feel free to book or message me first. I am happy to answer any specific questions in advance. By day I am a high school Spanish teacher, and by night I am a busy mom. I am a well traveled VRBO guest. I know what a host should do to a comfortable guest experience. My favorite countries visited, Mexico, Spain, and Italy.
