About the host

Hosted by Mary Coberg Chandler

I am a Former ballroom dance and yoga instructor turned Vrbo and Airbnb SuperHost and I do Online Reselling. My husband is an instrument technician/electrician. We love movies, traveling, our 2 silly cats, football, baseball, hockey, and dinner out with a few good friends. After a long day of work we enjoy just plopping on the couch with our cats and catching up on some shows. My husband , Mike, is happy with chips and a dark beer. Me? I’m a Moscato girl but I have to have my popcorn too. We are always doing something, never a dull moment but it’s nice to be that way because then you stay young, at least at heart.

Why they chose this property

We bought this lot to build this house because of the great view of the woods and no one can build behind us. It’s our dream home because of the great features that we have an attached bathroom in every bedroom. Our house has a total of 5 bathrooms.

What makes this property unique

So, for guests it’s like you have a hotel room that is very private. The queen ensuite guest room is on the top level across a bridge so it is the most private room we have. We have other bedrooms you can rent as well on separate listing. We are close to the toll road I-80 and highway I-94, so it’s easy to find us and to get where you want to go quickly.
