About the host
Hosted by Holly Carpenter
Hi! I'm Holly. I currently reside in Bloomington, IL with my husband Jordan and our 3 children. We are busy as ever with our kids and there love of sports. I love all things fitness, coffee, good food, travel, and most of all watching my kids play in all their travel sports. My husband and I have flipped many homes in the past and we wanted to try something new! The thought of providing a comfortable space where you can feel like you're right at home is what we strive to do for our guests.

This neighborhood is older with a lot of charm. The houses are unique in there own way. Our little bungalow sits below tall trees and is tucked away around a lot of greenery surrounding the property.
