Comfortable stay with family

We had a great time at Keri’s place. Her and her husband were so attentive and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. Restful trip as we came into town to visit our college student for Easter. We even were able to cook Easter dinner there and enjoy as a family. Thank you!

Great place for family and dog!

This was a really cute home with new updates! The owner was super responsive and happy to help with any questions we had and with accommodations that we requested. The home was very clean as well. We only stayed one night but would definitely book again and stay longer!!

About the host

Hosted by Keri Navratil

We are Keri and Derek Navratil and we live just down the road. We have two children, ages 4 & 2. Derek is an electrical engineer, craftsman & entrepreneur. Keri is a sign language interpreter turned stay at home mom. We love travel, movies, eating out, the theater, and board games, among other things.

Why they chose this property

We lived in this home for 7 years, and loved it so much we decided to turn it into a VRBO instead of selling! We especially love how easy it is to look out the large windows and feel like you're in the woods, while actually being within walking distance to all that downtown has to offer.
