About the host
Hosted by Candace Kirby 540-359-0276
I enjoying being a host in my new job in retirement, lol!
Its been always a part of my life making people feel comfortable as I was a massage therapist for 32 years. My goal is to make a comfortable get away for people to fully relax and enjoy what this area has to offer. Its a very inviting cozy home and Im sure you will feel the sane way.

Why they chose this property
My twin sister actually bought the house 35 years ago. I fell in love with the area and wanted to move back to Southern Illinois. I did so and unfortunately my sister passed from pancreatic cancer. I decided to make it into a rental stemming from our nick names that we had for each other Twisted Sisters. We loved playing jokes on people. She loved entertaining and we use to have theme parties. In honor of her a percentage of the proceeds goes to a non profit organization called Sandy's Comfort. They provide financial assistance and also 30% goes to research for this nasty cancer. By the way my sisters name was Sandy. Your visit will help people in need. Thank you❤️
What makes this property unique
This property is centrally located to wineries, hiking, thrift stores, great eateries, and most of all its quiet! Peaceful just sitting on the outside patio watching the wildlife or taking a dip in the pond sun bathe on the dock listening to the water fountain. If you truly want to get away from it all this gem is the place.
