Group trip
Bek was so accommodating and responsive during our stay! We were a large group of 16 and the property was abundant in space to house all of us. The house is exactly as pictured.

Wonderful Weekend
Loved the place! It was a super spacious area to rent for the weekend, and the host was very accommodating. I love the quick responses when I would communicate with her and how helpful she was. All the decor in the house was really beautiful to look at too. Overall the house and host was unlike any other place I've stayed!

1880s Beauty
It was tremendous for all 20 of us, in all our age ranges, to be "together" with the variety of sleeping areas throughout both the Barn and River Rock Studio. The outdoor areas were expansive and beautiful. Coordination with our host and hostess was easily and readily accomplished. I cannot give it a high enough rating!!

About the host

Hosted by Bek Nelson

Host profile image
Hi - Great to "meet" you!

I'm Bek with many labels. Some of them include Mom to three delicious kids, wife to a fabulous husband and manager of my own business. Some others include: chef, yogi, gardener, hermit, dancer, playmate and adventurer.

I love to be creative. This shows up mostly in the kitchen, garden and organizing fun (and sometimes silly ;) events and experiences for my friends, family and of course myself! I love pretty much anything outdoors: gardening, skiing, cycling, hiking, swimming and kayaking. My quiet side loves reading, yoga, chocolate meditation and snoozing in the sun.

I'm originally from England, I traveled the world for business and pleasure (mostly both :) and finally settled in the USA (Indiana) in 2006. I love the heartland for it's easy going people, relaxed pace and quality of life. I love our local countryside with wide open spaces, zero rush hour and being just 15 minutes to the beautiful lake Michigan.

I love Richmond-upon-Thames for its easy access to shops, restaurants, cafes, bars, numerous parks and of course, the riverside. I love that I can enjoy the relaxed, fun pace in Richmond and be in central London in 15 minutes.

As a host, I'll be as hands on or hands off as you need/want. I'm happy to help wherever I can to help make your stay at any of our properties delightful!

Have a fabulous day!
Bek
