About the host
Hosted by Lamonte
I'm a married father of two who's passion is family and friends. We designed our place to feel like home.
Why they chose this property
Cared for with love over the years. This house has been in the family since the 1970s. Its not just an investment. We take good care of it and constantly improve it as it will always be in our family.
What makes this property unique
This is a very large home and perfect for large family stays. It feels like a home away from home. That was the goal. You cant get this buying 2 or 3 hotels rooms. Your family is split up and not enjoying each other. Stay with us and have your entire family and extended family under one roof.
