About the host
Hosted by Anthony Raffety
Hi, I'm Anthony! I am a father of 4 & US Marine Corp Veteran. My partner Anne and I run & design the Holiday House & Tartan House together in Decatur, Illinois. We love to travel, sing & dance, & learning new things!
Why they chose this property
The iconic Holiday House got a $50k+ face-lift that truly made her a residential retreat. My partner Anne & I love interior design and are holiday obsessed. Our home was dubbed the Holiday House because of our year-round seasonal & holiday decorations that you can see on our IG page @theholdayhouse_ Our mission is tranquility - our deep wind chimes, delicate smells, crackling fire, outdoor kitchen, peaceful hammock escape, king memory foam, & the endless amenities - you have to step inside to understand.
