About the host

Hosted by Benita Koeman

Host profile image
We are an Army family who, through a series of events, built our "future forever home".

In 2015, while stationed in South Carolina, we began to fulfil a dream to build a timber frame home. In the hot Carolina evenings and on Saturdays our family milled yellow pine boards and beams. Over time we hauled them to Michigan, and in the summer of 2017, we began construction of our barn home. Conveniently our next duty station was on the east side of Michigan, so we continued with construction, and in the December 2018, we moved into our home!

Someday, we hope to call this place home full-time, but until then, we are thrilled to share “life in a barn” with our guests and give others the opportunity to experience this special place.
