About the host
Hosted by Lexie Dunkley
We’re a family who loves creating warm, welcoming spaces—especially during the holidays. Christmas has always been a meaningful season for us, and hosting gives us the chance to share that magic with others. We decorate the home with care each winter so guests can arrive to a place that feels festive, cozy, and ready for memory-making.
We value comfort, cleanliness, and thoughtful touches, and we want every guest to feel like they’ve stepped into a peaceful holiday retreat. Whether you’re here for a family Christmas, a winter escape, or simply to unwind somewhere beautiful, we hope our home feels like a place where you can slow down, connect, and enjoy the season.

Why they chose this property
We chose this location because it feels like a hidden winter town straight out of a Christmas postcard. The quiet charm of Manila, combined with the snow-dusted trees and wide-open skies, makes this area feel magical during the holiday season. Being just five minutes from Flaming Gorge means you can enjoy winter views, peaceful walks, and breathtaking scenery without traveling far.
We also love that the home sits on one of the few paved and well-lit roads in town—something that becomes especially important when nights get darker and winter storms roll in. It’s a comforting place to arrive, even in the snow, and the community has a warm, small-town feel that makes the holidays extra special.

What makes this property unique
Our property transforms into a cozy Christmas retreat each winter. The home is fully decorated with festive touches, soft lights, and a warm, nostalgic cabin feel that makes guests instantly settle in. The spacious 0.44-acre lot offers privacy and peacefulness, and the backyard is perfect for winter evenings—complete with a hot tub, fire pit, and room for families to gather and relax.
The combination of retro rambler charm, modern amenities, and thoughtful holiday décor sets this property apart. Guests love soaking in the hot tub under winter stars, enjoying the glow of Christmas lights, and having plenty of space for gatherings and traditions. The paved, well-lit road and RV/boat parking (including a 50-AMP plug) make winter travel easy, even during snowy months.
It's a place designed for connection, comfort, and creating holiday memories—whether you're celebrating Christmas morning, enjoying a winter getaway, or simply wanting a peaceful, decorated space to recharge.
