About the host
Hosted by Todd and Tess Slack
We met in 2013. Married 2 years later. Tess is a real estate agent here in Lake County. I referee high school football and basketball in the Orlando area. This is our future retirement home to get away from the hot and humid Florida summers. We also wanted a place that we could enjoy the 4 seasons of the year. Here in Florida we basically have 2. Summer and 8 days of WInter. We do have other seasons like pollen, love bug and the dreaded hurricane season. We hope you enjoy our place when you visit. Hopefully you will want to rebook with us in the future.
Why they chose this property
We wanted to find a place for us to retire to that didnt have a lot of steps to go up. As it would be harder to go up and down as we got older. This property is one story. It is easily accessible as you dont have to go up a mountain to get to it. Plenty of parking area if you have other family meeting you at the rental. We only have 2 neighbors so it is a quiet area.
What makes this property unique
Our well is not your normal well water. It is cold and tastes excellent. No need to buy bottled water while staying at our place. It has 3 porches. The one on back and side are screened in so you can sit outside to listen to the rain hitting the metal roof. That is a good relaxing sound. Drink your coffee on the back porch in the morning while listening to the birds sing. Keep a watch out for the deer coming in to feed at night. We have a metal trash can of corn out by the fire pit to put out. They will come in to eat the corn at dusk or in the morning. The fire pit is a short walk from the back porch. Worried about wood for it? Dont, as we provide the wood for you. Also provide fire starters. We rented a cabin a few years ago. Had to buy the wood. Then it rained and we had to take some of it back. It just didnt make sense to me to have guests buy wood then cant use the pit as it does rain quite a bit there. Sit on the swing on the front porch for a bit. We provide most of the amenities so you dont have to bring them. If you are staying for a week, you are more then welcome to use the washer and dryer. Washing tabs are provided. We also have dishwasher tabs. If you want to wash dishes by hand, we have dish soap. Filters for the Mr Coffee drip coffee maker.
