Bring on the games! We know not everyone can do this – but the hosts of this property have done an amazing job turning their garage into a multi-purpose game room. We’ve got poker, puzzles, foosball, darts, jenga, and all kinds of outdoor games too. We love their cute branded coffee mugs and the fact that they promote their EV charger, as that will likely be a more sought after amenity in the near future. They also do a great job of featuring the lake and outdoor vibe in their Instagram content. 

Together, Annette & Sarah are the dynamic duo behind the wildly popular podcast Thanks For Visiting, co-creators of the Hosting Business Mastery Method, & seasoned short-term-rental hosts.
