About the host
Hosted by Matt Aukes
We’re a family who believes in hard work, community, and making lasting memories. I own an automotive repair shop, and before that I taught high school band. My wife continues to inspire young musicians as a middle school band director, and our kids are active in sports and music—keeping us on our toes, but also reminding us daily about the importance of balance and joy.
Even with our busy lives, we always make time for family, friends, and giving back. Volunteering and community involvement are central to who we are, and we carry that same spirit into hosting. We love helping people feel welcome, cared for, and set up for success in whatever they’re doing—whether it’s enjoying a family vacation or relaxing after a day of adventure.
To ensure the best possible guest experience, we’ve partnered with My Favorite Home Away From Home Property Management, a professional team that helps us provide seamless stays with excellent service. With their support, you’ll have the peace of mind of local expertise and reliable communication, while still enjoying the personal touches of a family-run getaway.

Why they chose this property
We chose Sunset Lake for its perfect blend of privacy and convenience. Tucked just 10 minutes off I-90/94, the property offers easy access to Castle Rock Lake and local attractions, while still feeling like a true escape. Sunset Lake itself is a quiet, spring-fed, sand-bottom lake—ideal for swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing, but without the noise and bustle of larger public lakes. This neighborhood gives our guests the best of both worlds: a peaceful lakeside retreat with adventure, dining, and entertainment just minutes away.
What makes this property unique
Sunshine Haven stands out as a spacious 2,800 sq ft retreat designed for families and groups. With six bedrooms, three bathrooms, two living areas, and both indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, it’s perfect for creating lasting memories. Guests enjoy a private sandy beach, direct access to the lake, and plenty of activities including air hockey, board games, kayaking, and evenings around the firepit. Unlike many rentals, this property comfortably sleeps up to 20 guests and is thoughtfully stocked—from a fully equipped kitchen to beach chairs and games for all ages. Managed by My Favorite Home Away From Home Property Management, Sunshine Haven combines the comforts of home with the ease of professional hosting, making every stay stress-free and unforgettable.
