About the host

Hosted by Carole Fornwald

Bob and I live right next door to the bungalow. We purchased the bungalow for us to get away from our house. We love to say lets get out of the house for the weekend, go next door for a wonderful clean bungalow vacation. We can't do that anymore, because the bungalow is always booked. So we try to vacation at other VRBO owners vacation sites.
