Hi! We’re Rhi and Tevis Sandefur, proud local owners of 618 Short Stays, powered by Selling SI Realty. We love being part of this community and sharing our little corner of it with guests from near and far.

Hosting has become something we truly enjoy because it gives us the opportunity to create a space where people can relax, reconnect, and feel at home. Whether you’re here for business, a weekend getaway, family time, or just passing through, we’ve thoughtfully prepared this home to be clean, comfortable, and stress-free — your home away from home.

When we’re not hosting, we enjoy spending time outdoors, supporting local businesses, and continuing to grow our small business here in the area. We’re local and always happy to offer recommendations or help with anything you may need during your stay.

Thank you so much for supporting our small business. We truly appreciate you and hope you have an amazing stay!

One of the things guests enjoy most about staying here is the peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. The space has a comfortable “at home” feeling where you can truly unwind and settle in. Whether you're visiting for work, family, or just passing through, it’s a place where you can slow down and relax after a busy day.

The neighborhood itself is calm, quiet, and very safe. It’s the kind of area where you can enjoy a peaceful morning coffee, take a relaxing walk, or simply enjoy the stillness in the evening. There’s very little noise or traffic, which makes it perfect for guests who value rest, privacy, and a good night’s sleep.

Many guests say they appreciate how comfortable and welcoming the environment feels. It’s not just a place to stay, it’s a place where you can feel at ease and at home during your trip. Whether you’re here for a short visit or a longer stay, the quiet surroundings and relaxed atmosphere make it easy to recharge and enjoy your time.

What really makes our property stand out is the thoughtful details that make it feel like a true home away from home. We’ve put a lot of care into creating a space where guests of all ages can feel comfortable, relaxed, and welcome from the moment they arrive.

One of the highlights guests love most is the kids’ room. It’s a fun and cozy space designed especially with families in mind, making it a special place for children to enjoy during their stay. Families often tell us it becomes one of their favorite parts of the house.

Another feature that makes our place unique is the dock. It offers a peaceful spot to sit, relax, and enjoy the surroundings. Whether you’re starting your morning with coffee or winding down in the evening, it’s a great place to take in the calm atmosphere.

Beyond these features, it’s the little details throughout the home that truly make the difference. We’ve tried to think of everything guests might need to feel comfortable during their stay. From convenience items to cozy touches, our goal is to create a space where guests can settle in easily and feel completely at home.

Overall, we want every guest to feel like they’re staying somewhere welcoming, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared—truly a home away from home.
