About the host

Hosted by Emily or Dallas

Host profile image
We are avid gardeners, we love DIY-ing, and our summer properties give us enough projects to last from spring to fall! We have a nice camp neighborhood, with good friends.

Why they chose this property

Dallas grew up in the area, and used to come to Ward Pond to visit friends. As an adult, a property came up for sale, and a purchase was made. The adjoining property became available, so Dallas and Emily purchased it, and named it "Camp Betty" to honor Emily's mother. The decision was made to fix it up as a guest cottage and rental property.

What makes this property unique

The camp has views of the back cove, we named "Doaky Cove." It is quiet and private, and afternoon stretches on for days.Full length porch. Screen house. Hammock. Dock. Sandy swimming area. Sunny mornings drinking coffee on the front deck. Horseshoe tournaments. Campfires. Lazy. Hazy. Crazy. Days of Summer..
