About the host
Hosted by Colton Najvar
My wife and I originally lived in this house before moving to our dream home in Garrison Texas. We are an adventurous family with 2 kids that live the outdoors especially skiing and the mountains. We enjoy being host because it allows us to work for ourselves and meet people from all over the country while getting to keep our lake house that we love so much.
Why they chose this property
The neighborhood is very quite and welcoming with some of the best neighbors there is.
What makes this property unique
This was our first home and still treating like a home by us. It is very welcome if and cozy with all the amenities you could need. The back patio view with the fire pit on in the evening is as peaceful as it gets.
