About the host
Hosted by james m viola
I am originally from Connecticut, but moved here in 2013 after retiring from 46 years in the grocery business. People often ask why I don't take a vacation and the answer is simple. Living here is like a permanent vacation. I enjoy long walks and visiting with folks in our friendly town. I am a Trout fisherman and if you are interested, I can hook you up with an excellent guide on the white river.
What makes this property unique
We are 5 minutes from Beaver Lake and the White River where some of the best fishing in the US is available. We can recommend an excellent fishing guide if catching trout, walleye, bass, etc. is on your agenda!! Please see our website for a list of the calendar of events and restaurants in the area.
Free parking on the premises. We live on a private road with limited neighbors so nature walks are encouraged where all kinds of wildlife can be seen.
Since The Nest is located in the downstairs area of our home we will be available to assist them if needed.
At night the trees come alive with our light show. It is a special attraction that all the guests love.
