About the host
Hosted by Derick
I have lived in the area all my live and enjoy hiking, fishing and hunting. I love being a host because it's good to see people enjoying their stay.
Why they chose this property
I have always wanted to live in this area and moved here from about 25 miles north in 2017. This area is close to my favorite lakes to fish at and there is plenty of access to the Shawnee National Forest.
What makes this property unique
This property is unique because it used to belong to the owners of Blue Sky Winery and that it has hundreds of accessible acreage that borders it. It is older forest so the trees are nice, old tall ones.
