About the host
Hosted by Allison Layden
We are a family of 5. Floyd grew up in Belvidere and I (Allison) was born in GA. We were married in 2000 and cleared the lot given to us by Floyds Father. We put a home on the 20 acre piece. We built the cottage in the side yard for family when they travel here to visit and then decided to share it with guests. We enjoyed building it and look forward to sharing it with others! All wood, cathedral ceilings, walls and floor are wood, cork, and laminate. No carpet here for allergies to stir up!
Why they chose this property
Laid back neighborhood in the country with super nice family atmosphere.
What makes this property unique
Sit on the front porch and read a book in our Rocking Chair. Catch up on your favorite shows or movies. Go a half a mile to the country style restaraunt with nice gift shop inside a historic home. Visit the country store as well, where they still have hoop cheese and cut fresh meat to order! (Featured in OUR STATE Magazine)We are set back in time! No rush here! Just relax!
