About the host
Hosted by Lisa
We are Lisa and Jason, husband and wife team with 2 young children. We have our own dog training and minding business called Iron Dog Melbourne. We wanted to open our home so that people can enjoy a holiday with children and pets. Because we have pets with us all the time and with kids or without our place is truly set up to accommodate.
Why they chose this property
We purchased the property because we fell in love with the area. At the time this house was about all we could afford and we spent many weekends painting and adding new features like blinds and new carpet.
What makes this property unique
Cooking in the kitchen, preparing a meal or just doing the dishes we love watching the kids or the dogs play in the backyard from the kitchen window. We have also spent many lazy afternoons sitting on the front porch with a bevy or two.
