Who started Charmed Family Resorts?
Charmed Family Resorts, a family business, was the brainchild of Audrey Leavitt and her husband, Tyson Leavitt. Together, Audrey and Tyson wanted to create a safe, magical, and family-friendly retreat for people looking to experience a bit of fun in nature. Darrel Zaugg joined in 2003 to help them bring their vision to life. The three of them took their combined experience from managing resorts, hotels, and campgrounds over the years and combined that with Audrey’s passion for hospitality and interior design – creating the perfect combination that has made Charmed Family Resorts the magical getaway it is today!
