Meet Your Host

Hi, I’m Gale! Originally from Minnesota, I made the sunny move to Florida in 2021. I now split my time between the two places I love most—Naples, FL, and Lakeville, MN. Whether you're soaking up the sun at Sunsation Villa in Naples or enjoying a peaceful, wooded retreat at Safari Hideaway in Lakeville, I take pride in creating comfortable, memorable stays for families, groups, and anyone looking to relax and recharge.

July 2025 - stayed with Kids

From the moment we arrived at the Safari House in Lakeville, we were blown away! The house itself is stunning — spacious, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you could possibly need. The pool was a total highlight — clean, private, and perfect for relaxing or spending time with family and friends. Every amenity, from the outdoor lounge areas to the game room and fully stocked kitchen, made our stay feel luxurious and effortless. What truly made the experience unforgettable, though, were the hosts. Gale and Kyle went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome and taken care of. Their hospitality, attention to detail, and warm communication made all the difference. You can really tell they care about creating a special experience for their guests. Highly recommend the Safari House — we’re already talking about when we can come back!
