Dear fellow hosts, we have guests in need of a long term rental beginning about 3/4 through mid-April while their home is remodeled after frozen pipes burst. I can definitely vouch for the guests (2 adults and two dogs) and wish I could host them, but I have existing commitments already. If you have availability in the area, I am happy to make an introduction. -Cortney

Grateful for “yes-man Dan” and his can do attitude. I say something out loud like “it would be nice for these beams to go away”, and he makes it happen almost immediately.

Our listing has been live for one year now on AirBnB! We have received 100% ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reviews!

Walls have been drawn one, floors have been scratched, glasses have been broken, but more importantly…friends and family have shared time and given each other attention here.

We are grateful for the kindness shown to us and Otter House by all of the Otter House family.

Is it the heat? Is it back to school? Is it me (can’t be😂)?!

Check out this availability in August. On top of fewer bookings, we had two cancellations. It’s all part of the work, but we hate for a house to sit empty. Take advantage and DM me for super low rates (enough to pay our awesome cleaning crew and the water bill, lol)!
