About the host
Hosted by Rhiannon Sandefur
Hi! We’re Rhi and Tevis Sandefur, the proud owners of 618 Short Stays, powered by Selling SI Realty. We’re so glad you chose to stay with us! Our goal is simple — to provide a clean, comfortable, and relaxing space that feels like your home away from home. Whether you’re visiting for business, a weekend getaway, family time, or just passing through, we’ve thoughtfully prepared this space to make your stay easy and enjoyable. If you need anything at all during your visit, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re local and happy to help with recommendations, questions, or anything that would make your stay even better. Thank you for supporting our small business. We truly appreciate you and hope you have an amazing stay!
Why they chose this property
The scene here is calm, relaxing, and full of moments that turn into great memories. It’s the kind of place where you can slow down, enjoy the scenery, and truly unwind. What we enjoy most about the neighborhood is hands down the lake. Whether it’s spending time on the water, watching the sunsets, or just taking in the peaceful surroundings, the lake is the heart of everything here. We absolutely love the area and the community — it’s friendly, welcoming, and makes this place feel special every time we visit.
What makes this property unique
What makes our property stand out is the incredible sunset view over the lake — it’s truly something special to watch each evening. Guests also love relaxing in the hot tub after a day on the water or gathering around the fire pit right by the shoreline. Inside, the home is pristine and thoughtfully kept, creating a comfortable and welcoming space for everyone. The bunk bed room is always a favorite, especially for families and groups, making it a fun and memorable place for kids (and kids at heart). It’s the perfect mix of relaxation, views, and spaces designed for making great memories together.
