About the host
Hosted by Aurelia Lunceford
I’m from Southern Utah. I met my husband at the university. We moved near to his hometown in California and renovated a preschool to fit our large family of 13 children. I enjoy writing music, especially for vocals. I’m working on a musical right now. I like being a host for VRBO because nothing brings me more joy than bringing families and friends together in a beautiful setting.
Why they chose this property
I love the forest here. There is a beautiful 1 mile hike through the neighborhood to owl Creek. It overlooks the Divide and is breathtaking.
