    Description

    Hello
    We are a family of 4 living on an active small hobby farm. We hosted many traveller's when our children were very young and have had a number of them come back just to visit and see the kids grow. They are very outgoing kids at 12 & 13 now and excited to get to know young adults from all over the world. Our property is nice and close to town and on the bus route. You will find a variety of outside activities close by including biking, hiking, skimming and the ocean.
    Our home has 3 friendly dogs and 1 inside cat along with a few smaller critters the kids talk us into. We have lots of space for everyone and enjoy outdoor activities along with relaxing evenings on the deck.
