About the host
Hosted by Kristen Oswald
My husband, Philip, and I have been married 21 years and we have 3 kids. We moved here from California for my husband's job as a musician. We have previously lived in Birmingham, AL and absolutely LOVE the south! When we saw this property on Zillow as we were looking for a home we fell in love and never looked back!
Why they chose this property
You are staying in a structure that was initially built circa 1820 and restored in 1990. The cottage was previously attached to the main house which was originally a mule barn and converted into a single family home in 1990 as well by Jerry and Carole Rothstein. If you are interested in touring the main house feel free to contact us and we would be more than happy to it share with you!
