About This Lister

We’re a couple (newly retired—young at heart) have worked therapeutically with creative arts, music, yoga, environmental education, and spirituality in healthcare, education, spiritual, and community settings. Guitar musician, artist, and poet.

Now spend more than 1/2 time of our time in our small country house in PA,—you would share with one other roommate when we are away. We also have a big fluffy cat Magic who almost always comes with us to PA.
Our son and his fiancé  (in mid 30’s) live and work in the downstairs apartment and are artists/designers.

We’ve rented rooms many folks including artists/creatives/ /students/teachers through Listings, enjoy sharing our home, and supporting those transitioning to NYC, here short term, or looking for a change from busy streets to come home to. We are friendly and engaging, but also offer quiet, privacy and your own space, and we are away a lot.

Interested? Feel like this might be a good match?
Reach out and we can talk further to answer any questions.
