ABOUT THE AUTHOR

I’m the heart and hustle behind My Brown County Vacation — an Airbnb Superhost with a deep love for history, hospitality, and a good trail walk through the Indiana woods. I blend vintage soul with modern comfort, turning historic cabins into warm, memory-making escapes. Whether I’m staging seasonal decor at the Schoolhouse Inn or weathering a wild storm at the Homestead, I pour care and intention into every detail so guests feel more like family than visitors.

When I’m not welcoming guests or arranging the perfect little touches, I’m out tending the garden for a true garden-to-table experience or loving on my flock of chickens (who are basically part of the team). You’ll often find me walking the forest trails, browsing the charm of local barn sales, or simply enjoying a quiet morning on the porch with a hot cup of coffee. I try to live the kind of grounded, meaningful life that guests come to Brown County hoping to find — and I’m always honored to share a piece of it.
