About the host

Hosted by Jan L Strandemo

It's a family affair. Multiple generations working together on 20 acres to build something great. We are currently offering this beautiful home up as a vacation rental. Someday it will be a home for family. In the mean time we are also in the process of starting up a small organic farm and orchard. Far from the house :-) We've been hosting for over a year on airbnb and have many glowing reviews. We go by the same name over there if you'd like to check them out.

Why they chose this property

Lots of space. A quiet get away close to downtown Stillwater.

What makes this property unique
