About the host
Hosted by Anna

Hi there! I’m Anna — an avid hiker, kayaker, mountain biker, and general lover of just about anything that gets me outside. Hosting on Vrbo gives me the chance to share two things I truly love: this property and the incredible outdoors that surround it.
I first fell in love with this area years ago on a weekend biking trip. Something about the crisp air, winding trails, and quiet mornings on the lake just stuck with me. Eventually, I found this house that was somewhat too big for us, and decided to it with other nature lovers, turning it into a place where the guests can unplug, recharge, and explore.
When I’m not hosting, you’ll usually find me paddling at sunrise, biking the local trails, or diving into a cold river after a long hike. I am always looking for the ways to improve this place and to make it more comfortable, welcoming space that feels like home at the end of an adventure-filled day. Whether you're here for a solo trip, a romantic getaway, or a family vacation, I’m here to make sure your stay goes smoothly.
I do not charge for cleaning, as I do not believe that the guests should pay for the previous guest mass. I do ask my guests, though, to leave the space respectfully clean,Thanks for considering my place.

What makes this property unique
One of the things guests love most about this apartment is the privacy. You’ll have your own completely private entrance, separate from the main house, so coming and going is easy and discreet—no shared hallways, no awkward run-ins.
Just outside the entrance, you'll find a private side yard that’s all yours during your stay. Whether you're enjoying a morning coffee in the sun, reading under the shade tree, or unwinding after a day of exploring, or relaxing on a swing, it’s a peaceful little corner designed for quiet and comfort. Mature landscaping offer extra seclusion, making it feel like your own hidden retreat.
We respect your space and privacy, but we’re just a message away if you need anything!
