About the host

Hosted by Judy Owen or Carolyn Owen

Host profile image
Judy and I have owned and rented property in the Alexandria area for over 25 years. We want those of you who join us for vacation to have a house that resembles and is equipped as your own home. We provide linens, towels, pots and pans etc. so that if you want to cook you can.
The joy we get when we hear children laughing and playing lifts our spirits and is a reminder of our own grandchildren. It makes our work worthwhile.

Why they chose this property

Graystone Lodge is perfect for groups wanting to spend time together both inside and outside. We love the outside of this house because the yard is the perfect size for tossing a football or playing a bean bag toss game. It is also set up in a way that makes it easy to watch and play with kids on the Rainbow play system or have fun swimming in the lake. There are so many places to be outside and watch the changing weather and sunrises and sunsets. The inside has so much room to come together to eat, play games and share a good time. There is also great space to take in a can't miss game on TV. We are excited to share our home with guests.
