About the host
Hosted by Kyle

I've always had a passion for travel and new experiences.
Setting out 6 years ago, I decided to create a space of my own to offer to other travelers!
In those 6 years, I've had the pleasure of hosting hundreds of families at two VRBOs I own in the Hershey area and now my newest in Forest County.

Why they chose this property
The Tionesta area (specifically Lil Tio itself) called out to me.
With outdoor adventures within walking distance and the quaint town surrounding the property with much to do, it seemed like a no brainer!

What makes this property unique
Lil Tio was formerly a barbershop for 60+ years.
I did my best to renovate the property to todays standards while still holding onto a few original details that made it unique.
Other than the property, it's location is perfect. Walkable to food and Tionesta's Market Village, along with river fun only a short distance away!
