Kennedy Vial
Guest Services AssociateAs a Guest Services Associate, I have the unique privilege of welcoming visitors to the same family property where I grew up. Having spent much of my life here, I enjoy sharing the rich history, stories, and traditions that make this place so special. I love helping guests create meaningful and memorable experiences while offering a personal perspective on the property’s heritage and the generations of family history behind it. My passion for hospitality comes from genuinely enjoying connections with people and helping them feel comfortable, valued, and at home. Whether I’m answering questions, sharing historical insights, or helping guests make the most of their visit, I take pride in creating positive experiences that leave a lasting impression.
Outside of work, I am pursuing my education in massage therapy, where I am developing skills centered around wellness, healing, and client care. These studies have strengthened my appreciation for helping others and providing compassionate service. When I’m not in class or at work, you’ll usually find me spending time with my pug, exploring new interests, or enjoying quality time with friends and family. I am grateful to combine my love for people, history, and service in a role that allows me to share a place that has been such an important part of my life.
