The Welcome Lounge

I’m proud to call Texarkana, Texas home—it’s where I was raised, where my family is, and where my heart has always stayed. I’ve spent my career serving people through real estate and lending, but hosting is one of the most rewarding ways I get to do what I love most: helping others feel comfortable, cared for, and truly welcome.

When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me soaking up time with my husband, our kids, and our grandsons—family means everything to me. I love creating spaces where people can relax, recharge, and make memories of their own. Whether you’re here for rest, adventure, or a little of both, my goal is simple: I want you to feel at home the moment you walk through the door.

Being a host isn’t just about providing a place to stay—it’s about offering a place that feels safe, warm, and thoughtfully prepared for the people who matter most: you.

One of the things I love most about this area is where it’s tucked away—at in a quiet cul-de-sac at 1104 E. 22nd in Texarkana, Arkansas. There’s no through-traffic here, just a peaceful setting where mornings start calmly and evenings wind down the way they should—easy and unrushed.

The neighborhood has that rare balance of feeling private while still being close to everything. You’re minutes from the everyday conveniences that make travel simple—shopping, dining, and local favorites—yet when you pull into the drive, it feels like you’ve stepped away from the noise of the world.

What I love most is the sense of ease this area brings. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy your coffee outside, take an evening stroll, and truly relax knowing you’re in a safe, quiet pocket of town. For guests, that means real rest—not just a place to sleep, but a place to breathe.

What truly sets this home apart isn’t just the location or the layout—it’s the way it feels the moment you arrive. I’ve always believed the best places to stay are the ones that don’t feel like rentals… they feel like someone actually cared.

This property stands out because it’s been prepared with intention. It’s clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up so guests can settle in quickly and focus on enjoying their time—not figuring things out. From the quiet cul-de-sac setting to the peaceful atmosphere inside, everything about this home encourages rest, privacy, and ease.

But if I’m being honest, what makes it most different from the rest is the heart behind it. I don’t host to fill nights on a calendar—I host because I love creating a space where people feel welcome, safe, and genuinely cared for. That shows in the details, in the way the home is maintained, and in the experience guests walk away with.
