About the host

Hosted by Stephanie Wright

Host profile image
Originally from Waco Texas, I became a military spouse and have lived all over. I love being able to host guests from all around the globe! I am a homeschooling mom to 4 amazing kids. In my free time, I love to ride horses, raise chickens and other farm animals.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property when we moved back to Texas after leaving active duty military. We thought we would stay here forever, but we ended up moving to the San Antonio area. We love being able to offer our home to other families wanting a home away from home.

What makes this property unique

This property is unique in that although it is in a neighborhood, it sits in a National Dark Sky Area. The 3 acre property is the second largest in the neighborhood allowing for privacy and quiet for those seeking some peaceful country life.
