About the host
Hosted by Ben Hart

We are from Grosse Ile, Michigan, a small town just south of Detroit. We're passionate about outdoor adventures, and Kalkaska, Michigan, offers a plethora of opportunities, from hiking and biking to kayaking and fishing. Additionally, we're avid food enthusiasts and love discovering new culinary experiences. Whether it's a hidden gem of a restaurant or an upscale dining establishment, we enjoy trying it all. Traverse City, known for its abundant restaurants and wineries, is just a short drive away, making Kalkaska the perfect destination for our family.
Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because of its proximity to activities in all seasons with access to water, fishing, hiking, skiing, and other outdoor activities. We also wanted a quiet location to just get away but yet be a reasonable distance from the activity of Traverse City. In short the location fit everything we could ask for.
What makes this property unique
We also cherish the tranquility of our lakefront cottage, which is perfect for relaxing weekends. Picture yourself by the fire pit, roasting marshmallows and making s'mores under the starry sky. Or perhaps you prefer sipping your morning coffee in the sunroom, where you can enjoy a serene view overlooking the peaceful Lake Crawford.
