We hear guest after guest telling us how ‘Haven’ is the perfect name for our place…”

– Sofia Smedsrud

The Journey of Starting an Airbnb

Josh Smedsrud grew up visiting his grandparents’ cabin on Lake Ida and always knew he wanted a place on the lake to call his own. In the fall of 2020, he and his wife Sofia discovered this beautiful cabin and immediately made it their own. “We knew this was the one for us,” Sofia said. The couple then embarked on a two-month sprint to create a cozy, inviting, restorative space for couples and families to come and enjoy.

Their first guest checked in before Christmas and then their bookings started to fly in. “We hear guest after guest telling us how ‘Haven’ is the perfect name for our place, as they feel it is a refuge and a place to unwind, rest and reconnect with each other and the outdoors,” Sofia said. “We love ‘Haven’ and are so happy our guests have found a restorative and restful place to enjoy!”
