About the host
Hosted by Liz & Lee
We are a fun couple with a sense of humor who are best friends married for 32 years! We think a house can be comfortable and luxurious and still have a sense of humor! Each room has a quirky mix of both elegant and eclectic... from a whimsical floor lamp of colorful carved stacked animals to octopus art in the bathroom! We are very passionate about giving our guests a "Wow!" experience!

What makes this property unique
An IMAGINARIUM art house filled with many antique musical instruments, from the elegant (piano, concertina, cello, violin, dulcimer and mandolin), to the quirky (kalimba, accordion, washboard, cigar-box guitar and even a small steel drum!)
