About the host

We are a young farming family living near Marokopa.

Why they chose this property

Our bach is our little getaway close to home. We bought it just before starting our family. When we bought it, it needed a fair amount of TLC. We are slowly working to making it our own, with the help of your bookings, hopefully we can keep up our hard work.
