About the host
Hosted by Susan McGriff
My husband and I are both from the DFW area. We grew up in the hustle and bustle of the big city, so we really appreciate and enjoy the peace and quiet of our country life. We like hosting so others can enjoy some of the country life, too.
Why they chose this property
Our property sits about 15 minutes north of Palestine. We are surrounded by pine trees and have many deer on our property. Our stocked pond is a fun place to fish or just sit out by a fire.
What makes this property unique
We built this house specifically to share our property with guests. We were very thoughtful in furnishing and decorating our property. Our house is not a "garage sale special" or furnished with someone else's leftovers. We tried to provide everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing time away from home.
