About the host

Host profile image
I love creating beautiful spaces I call home, and then having the opportunity to share my home with others! When traveling myself I enjoy peace and quiet and love calm spaces to relax in.

Why they chose this property

Our home is located in a small neighborhood named Abele Park on Lake Oscawana. This beautiful, quiet neighborhood consists of a combination of year round residents and summer homes. As far back as the early 1900's this neighborhood consisted of hotels, casinos, social halls and speakeasies as it was a huge tourist attraction for locals and New York City residents (including Babe Ruth!). You can still see the un-occupied candy shop and gas station buildings down by the park.
