About the host
Hosted by Tracy Foos
We have bought this property as a vacation home with my sister's family and our parents. We love being outdoors and love the water, so it is perfect. We are excited to share our home with you!
Why they chose this property
This is a quiet, fun community surrounded by water. It is family friendly, and there is a nice restaurant/pub within walking distance.
What makes this property unique
Our property has a canal out front and on the back of property. There is room to dock your boat right out back, and ample parking for cars and trailers. The large back yard is great for relaxing, cooking, or playing yard games.
