I live on the property with my husband and our son, along with Bovril, our lovable Labrador. After 11 years of holidaying in Rheenendal, we fell in love with its beauty and decided to make it our home. I’m passionate about people and creating memorable experiences that leave lasting impressions. With a keen eye for detail, I strive to make every stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. When I’m not hosting, I love painting, solving crosswords, building puzzles, going to the beach, exploring nature, and socializing with friends. Working remotely from home means I’m always available to assist with anything you need during your visit. My goal is to ensure you feel welcome, relaxed, and connected to the magic of this unique destination.
