Elisabeth
Owner

She has had the opportunity to put this talent to use with her AirBnB rentals and with the addition of a camp in West Virginia.

When he is not working for A Day Away he is usually found rooting around his garden, where he once collected 35 pounds of sweet potatoes or at the park with his 3-year-old daughter. During the Full Moon Austin likes to howl at the moon with his two dogs, Nike & Nava
