About the host
Hosted by Kristin Richardson
Hello, it’s a pleasure to host you in my 500 sq ft cottage located on Bay Lake, a private 100-acre ski lake in beautiful Old Carrollwood. Yes, there’s bass in the lake and the sunrises will turn you into a morning person :)
A little about me, I work in IT, I’m a Florida native and certified Myers-Briggs Practitioner. I enjoy gardening, history, learning, cooking and working out. I reside in the main house with my husband Dan and our tiny maltese, Lily only 100 feet away so if you need anything, I’m here.
I take pride in ensuring I provide a ‘home away from home’ experience to my guests. I look forward to hosting you!
