About the host

Hosted by Kathy Oglebay

Host profile image
I'm inspired by nature and enjoy the hospitality business. This property brings together those two loves

Why they chose this property

Hilltop Haven is close to everything but is snuggled amongst the tress creating a peaceful hidden gem.

What makes this property unique

Sitting outside later in the evening, you may hear an owl in the trees while viewing the stars and moon at night. The cottage is also perfectly situated to take in the early morning sun rise. If needed, grab a blanket from the living room basket, a hot cup of coffee and watch the beauty of a new day begin.
