1880's Mansion with 3 Fireplaces, 12 bedrooms, Downtown historic area

I retired at 43 from owning an antique and classic car museum, gift shop, soda bar and special events venue hosting 125 events a year. It was an exhausting blast of a business. Hospitality is my jam!

Since then I have traveled to Brazil, Mexico, Bahamas, Hawaii, France, Spain, England, Cuba and DR Congo where I helped to build a school in a rural area. I have many destinations on my wish list and hope to continue to travel till I'm a hundred! My partner Rand has joined me in making this space welcoming for all. He brings 40+ years restaurant management experience and is thrilled to be hosting instead of clocking 25,000. steps a day on his tired feet!

I love being a host (I have the greatest, most interesting and respectful guests you could ever wish for. I have a five star rating on Airbnb and I am Excited to start hosting on VRBO

I also love staying in homes when I travel. I treat any home better than my own and truly appreciate a hosts generosity in sharing their space:-)

This home is quite magical. It offers many little corners to sit and enjoy a book, movie, great music on the Sonos speakers or the sound of your family enjoying time together. Five living areas, a huge kitchen, backyard, all provide space to be together or alone.

The neighborhood is outstanding, Historic neighborhood for a stroll, local owned shops, Starbucks is across the parking lot, baseball stadium across from Starbucks, Electric works, promenade park, botanical gardens, Embassy theater and many many great restaurants within 15 min walk. In the summer you can view the stadium fireworks from the back yard:-)
