About the host
Hosted by Wanda Gatsis
Born & raised in upstate NY, lived in Montana & Utah for serval years. We also have a home in Florida that I spend a great deal of time at these quieting days. My husband, George & I settled here for great jobs. We raised 2 boys and fostered 2. I could live outdoors all the time on the beach or working in the yard. I have always enjoyed making others feel good and comfortable and go out of y way to do just that.
Why they chose this property
This quiet old neighborhood was more of a fishing, vacation cottage area for the Chicago area. We've lived here over 30 years and I just fell in love with this peaceful little home on a double lot not far from our eldest son's home.
What makes this property unique
This is just a simple, adorable and affordable place to stay at.
