CURRENT MISSION

To find a reason to be happy, every single day.

ABOUT ME

I'm 47, and I live with two long term partners. My children are all grown adults who live nearby.

We foster kittens for the Humane Society from time to time, so if you are allergic, you should probably not stay here. We have 5 permanent cats living in our house. Your stay with us can include no cats in the bedroom space if needed, or, you can enjoy a snuggly furry friend.

Our home is called Blackbird Manor. It’s 4 bed/4 bath/4500 sq ft of midcentury modern comfort, located in the north end of Hagerstown, in the Fountainhead housing development. We can offer you several configurations - either a private suite with your own bathroom, or a queen bedroom with a shared hallway bathroom. It depends on our availability. If you have a larger group, we have floor space for air mattresses in several areas.

We are welcoming to LGBT+ guests!
