Amazing Ladies Get-a-Way.
Our ladie’s (5) weekend in Walker at this home was wonderful. The updates are stunning, attention to detail is impeccable, and the beds were so comfortable, we never wanted to wake. Our favorite time was probably relaxing on the deck and playing games. In addition, the Main Street is so close, we ran there several times for groceries and to look at their numerous boutiques. I also spent some time at the local casino. We had a couple hiccups at the beginning, but the owners were not only quick to respond but truly made things right. Looking for a great location and wonderful hosts to boot? I highly recommend this VRBO. Thanks, Alisa + Owners -Jill and the other 50 yo’s-

About the host

Hosted by Alisa McNallan

Host profile image
Patrick and I and our friends Kevin & Kristi are excited to provide a peaceful and comfortable home for friends and families to come and make memories. Who are we? We met 28 years ago in Lamaze class, which resulted in many nights of playing cards, celebrating Thanksgivings together with our children, a couple of trips to Mexico, lots of laughs, and a couple of grandchildren! For the last six years, we've had the pleasure to be called Superhosts, and so we decided to collaborate on creating a vacation home by the lake, one we are sure that you will enjoy! You will be well-cared-for as we are your co-hosts.
