Hi! I’m an easygoing, untraditional Millennial, who can't live without the mountains, fresh flowers, cold nights, and feather pillows. My family owns a local shop with a little bit of everything. I work constantly and have to get out of town to truly have a day off. I typically travel in search of good local restaurants and hiking trails. I am excited to meet all guests and hosts but will also respect your privacy. I like to keep all lines of communication open and will let you decide how much interaction you need.
