About the host
Hosted by Bethany Forbus
Hi there! I'm from a small area right down the road called Stewartville. My parents traveled with me and three siblings my entire life. They instilled in me a love of traveling and hosting. I love meeting people from all over the world!
Why they chose this property
I live here in this neighborhood with my family and want other people to enjoy our guest home as well.
What makes this property unique
The Cottage is a great place to enjoy slow days by yourself or with loved ones. There's a great covered front porch and a back porch overlooking the back yard with a couch and a grill. The backyard's focal point is the outdoor fire pit with six comfortable Adirondack chairs. The Cottage has a space for everyone!
