About the host
Hosted by Steve Yates
Passionate about the water and the town of Somerset, my family has a long history with the town with my parents having various properties over the years from the late 60's through to the late 80's. Both were skiers and dad was a championship barefooter in his day.
As kids we spent nearly every second weekend in Somerset and I have so many fond memories growing up in the town that it felt only natural for me to return and buy my own place. I now get to share the opportunity for other people and families to make their own memories by making the property available for holiday rentals.
I truly hope you enjoy your stay!
