About the host
Hosted by Alex and Emily Schmitt
We are newlyweds living and loving in the Med City. Emily is a practicing Occupational Therapist at Mayo Clinic, and Alex just graduated from Physician Assistant school. We met at Lawrence University, where we both attended college.
Our favorite things include...
1. Goldendoodles - talk doodle to us, and we'll be fast friends :) We adore our one-year-old pup, Rory. We now have a recent addition of a new puppy Poppy!
2. Good food - Indian and Thai are two of our favorites, but we'll never turn down a good pizza. (anything really...) We like food.
3. Yoga - we love practicing yoga at home! Wanna start? We can share some of our favorite YouTube channels with you!
4. Board Games - the nerdy kind... the ones most people have never heard of... Terra Mystica, Lords of Waterdeep, or Pandemic to name a few! But if you're nice, we may even play the classics with you!
5. Walking/hiking - whether simply walking our neighborhood, hitting the local trails, or hiking Devil's Lake in Wisconsin, we enjoy getting out in nature. Our puppies come too, of course!
We value meeting and developing new relationships with those who come through our doors. Our mission is to treat you as if you were our own family! You can learn more about us at DharmaDwellings!

Why they chose this property
We love this neighborhood and had the ability to purchase this home when the person who remodeled the house decided they weren't going to keep the property. We love being able to share the large garage next door and create a neighborhood type feel amongst those staying with us at Dharma Dwellings! Be sure to say hello to those staying next door at Oakley's Oasis and on the corner at Dee Dee's Den
What makes this property unique
Alex and Emily both practice medicine and will have insight into treatment options. Frequently Alex will see many of the guests in a primary care setting. He works at Miracle Mile with OMC and has easy access for you or your family while you stay with us! Feel free to ask any questions!
