About the host
Hosted by Betsy Rowbottom
Hosting is a passion for me! I'm new to VRBO after being on Airbnb for 15+ years (and loving it!!). VRBO has some serious limitations on this platform -- for example, they only describe sleeping spaces... and while that's important, I hope while you're on vacation -- you don't JUST sleep!
My property offers: - Generous Living Room + south-facing Sunroom - Large Dining Room with a table + space for 6+ people - Well Appointed Kitchen
