About the host

Hosted by David and Margaret

Host profile image
We've lived and worked in the area for almost 30 years. We're not natives, but love the area and can't wait to share our tiny home and all the area offers with our guests!

Why they chose this property

We already have a successful Vrbo rental just outside town - Railway Rest - and wanted to add an in-town location, giving guests a cozy home with a walkable location. Our home honors Mary (Granny) Ida who lived on this property for years, raised her children here and was welcoming to so many.

What makes this property unique

Although tiny, our home has a spacious feel and is equipped with everything you need for an enjoyable stay, whether it's a few days or a few weeks. Walk or bike to restaurants, shops and the many trails the area has to offer.
