About the host

Hosted by Art & Deena Green

Host profile image
We bought our cottage in 2010 and enjoy using it when we don't have it rented.

Why they chose this property

Lake Michigan has always been a special place for us. To be able to walk to the beach either for a morning stroll, an afternoon playing in the waves or for the evening sunset is such a blessing. We love to share the beautiful area with others and hope that you enjoy it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

While being close to many fun things to do, we love that our cottage is nestled in the woods and feels like a little piece of heaven.
