WHY MAKE A VRBO IN HONOR OF MLK JR?

There's so many reasons (read below!) but ultimately, without his achievements, our own family wouldn’t exist. So we've collaborated with black artists and creatives in order to bring this historic home (and passion project) to our community.

More reasons:

1. His impact was an inspiration in founding our hosting business "All Belong"
2. MLK himself walked this street and even stayed overnight just a few blocks away!
3. The street used to be known as black Main Street and is named after him.
4. Our son is black and that matters.
5. To highlight black excellence
6. To support black-owned businesses
7. To tell the story that hatred doesn’t win
8. To inspire others to dream BIG
9. To educate, inspire, challenge, and build bridges
10. To give financially to local organizations that fight poverty and racism
11. His message of love, peace, and unity is what we all need to hear right now.
12. To welcome ALL

We hope you’ll find the MLK Dream Home a place where you belong!

Excellent Home!
The home is beautiful, one of the best I've ever stayed in! It had everything we needed to feel right at home. The beds were quality and comfortable, the bathrooms were clean and supplied with plenty of clean, quality towels. All over the home and it's decor was beautiful (LOVED the dining room table). And the location was excellent. Highly recommend this home! We will definitely book it again.

Beautiful place
We loved this house. The decor is lovely! Everything was designer decorated and we appreciated all the special touches. We enjoyed the walking distance to the doughnut shop and downtown. This area is up and coming with beautiful Victorian historical mansions nearby. Thank you!!
