Host profile image

Hi, I'm Lisa :) I'm obsessed with nature, my family, and dog Zeus.

In 2023 I hiked the entire Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine - a journey that changed my life forever.
Today, I create experiences for others so they too can experience what it is like to be "wild and free" and gain a deeper connection to the natural world.

I'm an experienced host with multiple 5 star rated properties across the Eastern US. I work very hard to create wellness experiences where you leave feeling more joy and peace than when you arrived.

To new adventures, Lisa
