About the host
Hosted by Ken and Wendy Maslana
My Wife, Wendy, and I live in central Illinois and decided to purchase this property so we could enjoy the lake with our families. We love spending time on the water, fishing, boating, skiing and tubing. We also love BBQ and relaxing outdoors. We love to spend time with our family and friends and encourage others to do the same. Which made the decision to extend this amazing opportunity to others and easy one to make!
