About the host
Hosted by Kevin Parrish
My name is Kevin and my lovely wife, best friend and business partner is Anita. We purchased the house initially as an investment property to rehab and sell it. Shortly after purchasing it I suffered a near fatal stroke at work which had me in the critical care unit at the hospital for over 6 weeks and over a year of very aggressive rehab therapy afterwards. With the support of my wife, my family and friends and great care givers I eventually regained my ability to move, walk and talk again as if the stroke never happened!
This whole experience has definitely given me a greater appreciation for the VALUABLE LIFE SAVING WORK that Care Givers provide on a daily basis. I would like to say "Thank You" by offering a 10% discount (on your headcount fee) to any group that has a verifiable doctor, nurse, physical therapists, occupational therapist , speech therapist and care givers that treat treat stroke patients and help them to live a better life. (NOTE- The discount will be applied only if proof of medical credentials for guest are provided before the reservation is confirmed and booking payment has been made). I long for the day when we won't ever need them anymore. When everyone is healthy!!After a failed attempt at selling the house to help pay off a mountain of medical bills we decided to change direction and use it as a vacation rental and it all just fell into place. The neighbors have been great (The Austin's!) and I have met some wonderful people in Sandusky and we are happy to share our home with you.
Take Care Everyone and Thank You!
