Our 3 sons are all men now and we are suddenly empty nesters. A couple years ago, we knew this was coming so we began searching for a smaller home and we liked the idea of being near the Temple because we know that many people enjoy visiting the Temple as do we. This is the home we plan on using for our retirement. Our youngest is off to college and moved in with his older brother in Provo. We get to visit them as we travel around. Our other son is in Daytona Beach so, of course, we will need to visit him too.

Our favorite thing about this home is the back patio and how it feels like an extension of the home. We love to have our morning protein shake or hot herbal tea on the patio. We also like the firepit and the romantic flair it provides at night.

We wanted to be near the Temple and we've had several guests who came to see the Temple for various reasons. So, having a home near the Temple was a natural place for us to be. The reason we continue to grow our business is to provide guest with the best alternative to booking cheap hotels or motels near me.

When I took my boys to hotels, it was for the pool. We stayed in an expensive place and the pool was so chlorinated it burned their eyes and left them feeling ill for a whole day and night. I prefer vacation rentals over hotels all the time now. I wish I had known more when they were small but now I do and we will choose homes over hotels from now on. A 5-star hotel is extremely costly but a 5-star vacation rental is far less most of the time and has more space, more parking, more kitchen for cooking (Eating out all the time is awful), more rooms, more of pretty much everything. Breathing your own air instead of thousands of others' air is well, a breath of fresh air.
