About the host
Hosted by Nicole Straka
I've been a Realtor for 23 years and my husband has been a builder/contractor for over 35 years. We have four kids and two dogs!
Why they chose this property
My husband and I are new to the hosting biz, but have been renting out our cabin for about 7 months now and are loving it! My husband is a builder and built our cabin for our family about 7 or 8 years ago. He laid up the fireplace and inserted a few rocks he found on the property while digging in the dirt! And his dad was a welder his whole life so he welded the metal stair railing for us! Lots of love has gone into our cabin! We still have our garden out there and go there for a quick evening get away when we have time. Our kids are teenagers now and have gotten very busy so we don't get out there as much as we'd like. That's why we decided to start letting other people enjoy it!
What makes this property unique
We love the wildlife, and the peace and quick that the cabin offers! During the spring, the Sandhill Cranes are everywhere and so loud! In the fall we see deer and turkeys, and some other random wildlife occasionally. It feels like a vacation spot, yet it's so close to town and the amenities!
